I am the mother I needed as a child.

Motherhood is a garden…vast, diverse and ever growing. Not two gardens look the same…yet each is tended with care, sacrifice & love.

I am a GOOD mother. But there are many times I struggle in motherhood.

A mother’s love is indescribable. Its unconditional. It’s a love you truly can ONLY experience as a mom. And I’m grateful for this.

I made a promise with an amazing partner that our sons would never get wet from our storms. Our sons will never owe us anything no matter what. They can always come home. And their falls, their failures, the bad will never be used to push them down.

Each one of us have our own unique experience of the definition of motherhood. Some are joyous expedience, some those of strain, others of loss & unknowns.

But they are ours….and they are also not meant to be felt alone.

Just as no garden thrives in isolation, motherhood was never meant to be a solitary journey. It calls for community…for women to stand beside one another, to uplift, to encourage, and to root for each other. In moments of doubt.

It is the shared wisdom and support of others that strengthens the soil beneath our feet.

This Mother’s Day is a reminder that every contribution matters. Every late night, every lesson taught, every sacrifice made…these are the roots that hold everything together.

Happy Mother’s Day to every woman nurturing life, love, and possibility.

Always rooting for you,

Happy National Sons Day!!! (P.S It was yesterday but I was too busy being a mama)

A Letter to my Twin Boys 🫶🏾

I want to tell you something you deserve to hear every day…you are powerful, beautiful, handsome & strong in ways that are uniquely yours.

The path you walk will be shaped by the love you give to yourselves and the love you share with others. Here are a few truths I hope you carry in your hearts as you grow.

You are worthy of kindness, patience, and respect…even from yourself. When you treat yourself with gentleness, you gain the courage to pursue your dreams, to admit mistakes, and to learn from them. Your self-worth isn’t earned from achievements alone; it flows from your willingness to be honest, to try again, and to stay true to your values.

Real strength is shown in how you lift others up, how you listen, and how you show compassion when it’s not easy.

Your words have weight…choose them to build bridges, not burn them. (Now your mama will always do both 😉)

A small act of kindness can ripple far beyond what you can see. You don’t always have to agree to love. Respecting differences, offering grace, and extending generosity are acts of brave love.

Your happiness matters. Seek activities, work, and relationships that bring you joy, even if they aren’t the easiest or most conventional path. Joy often comes from curiosity PLEASE try new things, ask questions, and let your heart guide you toward what feels meaningful. Always know It’s okay to change your mind. Your passions can evolve, and that is a sign of a living, growing person.

Your Dad & I love you Kai Alexander Clarke & Kael Nieko Clarke so much. We are cheering you on & rooting for you every step of the way always. My perfect twin boys. Happy

Your Mama.

Fun Fact….When I worked for this guy as a hostess. I was homeless and sleeping in my Honda Accord at the top of the parking garage at . I was homeless & hungry.

He had no idea.

I would always ask him if I could get food after my shift. He would let me order for free. I would either take it back to my car wrap it up for later that day or the next day. Then I would walk across the overpass of 75 from NorthPark Mall to Bailey Prime Plus steak House to work another job. Sometimes he would even let me use his 4 Runner to drive to my other job. He never asked why-he just said ok.

I didn’t want to drive my car because I didn’t want to loose my perfect spot in the garage where I was sleeping.

He had no idea.

I had nothing. He had no idea. I was hungry. He had no idea. I was struggling. He had no idea.

This was 17 years ago.

At some of my lowest times. was there for me. In ways he truly had no idea. At some of my lowest times-I made sure I kept showing up.

Frank wasn’t the kindness. He was sometimes a jerk/ass. But he was GOOD. He had a PURE & LOVING heart. And ask for nothing in return.
I will always love

I look at where I once was & where I am now. I embrace every moment & season. The good ones, the bad ones & even the ugly ones. Because they are part of my journey and WHY I am here now.

We never know what people are GROWING through. What is burying them.

So often we see the words “Be Kind” or Being Nice cost nothing. It’s not easy all the time when you are broken.

We have no idea what people are going through. Life is hard. Seasons are Hard. Trying to figure it all out is hard. Which is why I am ALWAYS reminding others to never stop rooting for yourself. This is the ONLY way you can root for others.

I don’t talk about my homelessness & time in prison like I use to. I honestly don’t know why. It’s heavy for me again. I have to change this. Because again it’s part of my journey. And it’s a reminder maybe, just maybe I was being buried. But Planted….and people like Frank were there to help me B L O O M🌱

Do the best you can do today. And remember to ALWAYS ROOT FOR YOURSELF✨

A Letter to my Baby Boys:

August 27, 2011, 12:04 and 12:08 AM — I welcomed two tiny miracles into this world: Kai Alexander Clarke and Kael Nieko Clarke. I pushed out the most beautiful twin boys, and in that moment I felt something I hadn’t known before. You two didn’t just change my life—you saved it. My boys are my everything, even on the days I’m not enough, even on the days I’m not there the way I wish I could be.

There’s a saying I carry close to my heart: Never let your storm get your kids wet. Since that day, August 27, 2011, these words have guided every breath I take and every choice I make. And I am forever grateful to have an amazing partner and best friend, , who helps keep this promise true.

At 5 weeks, I heard both of your strong heartbeats. In that sound, I fell in love—instantly, completely, fearlessly. Before I held both of you, I didn’t know a love this fierce existed. To my sons, I learned what it means to love with every fiber of my being, intimately, unconditionally, and without hesitation.

Every day I fight to become a better mom, sister, daughter, friend, and leader—because of the lessons you’ve taught me. We humans often believe that children can’t teach us anything, that we know everything as adults, and that it’s our way or the highway. But you two have shattered that myth. Raising you Kai and Kael has broken generational curses, shown us softer paths, and opened our hearts in ways our families before us may never have imagined.

I celebrate you, today and every day. I love you beyond words, Prince Kai and Gator. Keep teaching us. Keep loving those around you. Take it all in. And most of all—keep taking on the world, one Oreo cookie and one Pop-Tart at a time.

With all the imperfect, honest love I have to give,
Your Mommy & Daddy

My bubby wrote these words & they were 👌🏾

Do what others don’t. Wake up earlier. Stay later. Move in silence.

Sacrifice comfort.

Stay disciplined when they get distracted. While they talk, you build.
While they wish, you work.

That’s the difference between ordinary and unstoppable.

Let your consistency be louder than their opinions — and your results be proof that playing small was never the plan.

Let them talk.
Let them watch.
The envy, the hate, the doubt — it’s all confirmation you’re doing something right.

Let their hate be the background noise to your greatness.

From the Desk of Kent Myles Washington.

“Your gift is what comes easy to you that’s hard for most.”

You have heard me mentioned many times…no one can take away your gifts. They are yours. They were given to you….and we each have them.

Since I was a little girl I have created and nurtured charming moments. Moments that grow happiness. For all our events & dinner parties I would decorate the table & design floral centerpieces with beautifully folded napkins for our guest. That I had practice making pretty the night before.

I work alongside my mother as she tended to her gardens. Growing the most gorgeous flowers, fruit, vegetables & herbs. Of a home with wicker baskets filled to the rim of garden & home magazines such as & more….which pictures that looked just like her gardens.

These are my gifts.
The Plants, The Gardens, The Blooms, The Designs…..the commUNITY.

Since we have opened our doors in 2020….we have done so with the intention to grow a space for others, that “plant” joy.

For the past 5 years & even longer with our sister brand you have allowed me to share these gifts with you. With a humble heart we are grateful.

Last Saturday, Houston welcomed us into ANOTHER magical location where we can continue to root for the commUnity. Our newest home
