You Deserve a Flower
This art piece is an attempt to positively impact Humanity. This is done by giving out flowers with a note saying, "For whatever you are dealing with, you deserve this." On the back of the card is the You Deserve a Flower email address. This blog is a catalog of the responses. I highly encourage others to do this. Every single person in the whole world deserves a flower for something they are dealing with, this is a movement to make that happen.

Thank you
Thank you for the beautiful magenta flower. I had just picked up my son
from preschool and was watching him throw a stick into the street.
Suddenly a smiling face handed me a flower and was gone. What a nice
moment of kindness and fun. -- Olivia
Thank you!!
Thanks so much for the flower the other day, you are a gem!
--Talia
Thank you Talia. We just returned from the coast flower distributing mission! It went super well. unfortunately i didn't have time to hand out many flowers. I did however give some amazing people a bunch of flowers so they will be distributing them for me. After they hand them all out i want to interview them about their experiences. This will then turn into a mini documentary so look for that in the coming weeks.

First Donation!
So recently i received my first donation for this art piece. It couldn't have come at a better time, you see my wonderful girlfriend and I have been planing a vacation to Portland for a while and figured we might as well hand flowers out in towns on the way there and back. the first donation is enough to get this started, though i could always use more. The more donations i have the more flowers i can have which means the more happiness i can spread. So please please donate and help me spread the love, i know its clique but every bit does help even 5 dollars. Thank you for your time and appreciation of this piece.

Dear Nathan,
Dear Nathan,
I keep the flower you handed me in a small vase of water (it's still doing its daisy thing, blooming right along) and your hand lettered card propped up on my desk. I knew you were an art person by the way you handled the typography, and it was clear you were - are! - an artist in that larger realm of the human heart. I am so grateful for the way you reached out to open my heart on that day a week or so ago. I didn't know how to thank you (there wasn't anything written on the back of my card) and so I was glad to see the article about you in the Chronicle yesterday. May blessings be returned to you many times over.

You deserve a flower Nathan
Thank you very much for the pick me up today Nathan! I can't even
remember the last time I received a flower. It's the simple things that
remind us of the beauty in life. Thanks for sharing the love my friend. I
hope you feel the love in return.
Love, Nicki
ps as always the title of the post is the subject of the email.

Hey Nathan!
Thanks for the thoughtful flower today! I read your blog and absolutely love what you are doing. What a wonderful, easy way to brighten people's day :) I was definitely having a case of the Monday's when you ran into me today. Thanks for the little pick me up! Keep cheering up the ladies (and men??) of Bozeman!! Maybe you'll inspire others to do so too :)
Take care!!
-Sarah Devitt
Ps, I needed something to put in the center of a craft project I've been working on, but couldn't decide what to put in the center. So, I decided you use your note! Now when people ask about my little art project, I can mention what you do :) I wish I could attach a picture of it, but I don't know how to do that...dang it!!

Dear Nathan,
Thank you for sweet flower and note today! I was
not having the best day and your adorable gesture put a smile on my
face and made me feel special. This world needs more beautiful art and
people like you! You are a wonderful person and you deserve a flower
too! Thank you for making my day and reminding me to smile and smell the
flowers.
