Yesterday the quote on Leslie Buchanan's quote of the week list [email protected]
inspired me to write a thank you letter to Holly's flower-shop mentor,
the owner of Stems. I wanted to share the response with this list.

Someone sent this quote out today:

"For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by
doing them."
~Aristotle

This reminded me of Holly's experiences at Stems. Thank you again,
Katie, for giving her this chance to learn things that can only be
learned by doing.

Sandra,

Debbie and I were just talking about how the only way to learn is by
DOING! We really appreciate Holly. :-) She has a lovely personality
too!

This little snippet gets better and better to me. I really think you are not only on to something very, very, cool, but you have probably started something as well (besides all the other stuff :)) I love all the chances to ask "why not?"
