      Lessons I've Learned From A Flower - Joan Scharff

      Introduction

      Life is about the connections we make, share and develop. My life is blessed because of my connection to Joan Scharff. I met Joan a few years ago at a networking event. I remember her as quiet, perhaps even a bit timid, though with the creative glow of a flame ready to light up the world for others. When I saw her breathtaking photos and inspirational thoughts, I realized the flame was more like a budding flower, peaking out through its petals, waiting for the right moment to dazzle everyone with its empowering bloom. Joan, you are in full bloom! It gives me great pleasure to endorse this delightful book which is truly a glorious work of art inspired by a connection to nature, and nurtured along by our dear friend, the late Shaun Stephenson.
