This week, our Suite Escape community gathered (from kitchens, lake houses, home offices, and everywhere in between!) with Kalin Sheick of Sweetwater Floral for an hour of flowers, creativity, and a gentle reminder that sometimes the best thing we can do is make something beautiful simply because it brings us joy.
A few takeaways we’re bringing with us through the rest of the summer:
🌿 Done is better than perfect. Flowers aren’t meant to be flawless, and neither are we. Sometimes the beauty is in simply beginning.
💐 Protect your joy. Whether it’s arranging flowers, gardening, reading on the porch, needlepoint, or baking sourdough, make room for hobbies that don’t need to become a side hustle. Joy is reason enough.
☀️ Design a life that fits you. As Kalin reminded us, there isn’t one “right” way to build a meaningful life. Start with your values, build relationships first, and let the rest grow from there.
At Suite Escape, one of our core values is creating space for women to connect, grow, and leave inspired. This hour was a beautiful reminder that growth doesn’t always happen in big moments, it often begins with a simple conversation, a vase of flowers, or the courage to make time for yourself.
Here’s to porch conversations, fresh blooms, lake days, and slowing down just enough to notice the beauty around us.
Happy Summer. 🌸✨
