Need suggestions for "Growth" flower poem

[OhmyDLM]

My Director promoted to Advanced Director this month, YAY!

I've bought this really pretty plant pot for her office and got a nice flower plant to put in it. I want to present it to her at our team meeting tomorrow with either a poem or a few sayings put together as symbolism of what the plant means.

Anyone wanna help me out here and is creative enough to help me splice together a little Diddy or something that I could print and frame to go with the plant?

Examples of things that could be included:

1. The plant represents growth of you and your team
2. Bloomed flowers represent your team members and the buds yet to bloom represent the team you will continue to build
3. Like this plant, you're team will continue to flourish as you shower them with knowlege and support

Here's what was done fo rme when I promoted to Director:



n many of our sales meetings we have talked about how recruiting is like planting seeds, we watered them and fertilized them by attending meeting, reading consultant newsletters and attending conference, our seeds sprout when someone signs up and the process begins again and our business continues to grow. Our business is like gardening. We planted seeds and they grow…

(SHOW DISH GARDEN) This garden represents ____________’s business.

_____, Each of these plants represents members of your cluster who you have raised up. Each plant is different, much like your consultants are different. Some will grow very tall and fast. Some will show growth after tending for a long time and others will bloom with beautiful flowers and multiply.

Your care of the plants will be different too. Some will need much gentle attention and others will grow with little water or sunlight from you. Your greatest task will be to determine which one’s need what type of care.

The flowers in this garden represent the highs of your business. And you have already had many. Earning your super starter bonuses, earning tons of products thru monthly promotions and achieving your goal of earning directorship by July1st. You will continue to have many flowers, but flowers often wilt. It’s the greenery that will sustain the beauty of this garden and your cluster members will be what sustains your business.

Did you notice there are also rocks in this garden? This represent the times that we have that are difficult. The frustrations each kitchen consultant and director have. A low show, a rescheduled show, a NO-show. A potential recruit who tells you right now is just not the right time. But yours is not a ROCK garden, it’s a growing and ever changing garden.

Often times in a garden you will plant a transplant. The Pampered Chef calls these transplants HOSPITALITY. And although they are never quite your plants they grow amongst your plants and bring a fullness to your garden that would be missed if they weren’t there. You have already benefited from many of my transplants growing amongst you and often they have added a new height to which many of us hope to reach.

Ok, here's what I have taken from your post/idea and created for my Director to celebrate her promotion to Advanced Director. I had to change it a bit as I already bought her one plant with pretty pink flowers in a brown and pink plant pot. I think I'm going to frame it for her and present it with the plant, what do you think?

Love it Darcy! I saved it in hopes that I will have the opportunity to use it one day.
