I love my alone time. Most people assume I’m an extrovert. Now, that could be because I spend my work days talking— mostly loudly— communicating, teaching, interviewing… you get the idea. But in reality, that’s work Jess! And when I’m off the clock, I’m a true introverted extrovert. In real life, when it’s time to go to a party, I have to spend all evening convincing myself to leave the house.

The idea of ordering takeout and hunkering down at home in my Christmas Pj’s is way more appealing than putting on real pants and motivating to go be with people.

The Importance of Being Alone

Tired, overstimulated, worn-down, anti-social. This is how I feel when I don’t have alone time.

A few months ago, I spoke at Florabundance Design Days. I LOVE getting to speak to fellow floral designers and business owners. At Florabundance, I got to see industry friends, meet Bloomers, and even participate in demonstrations from some of my favorite designers. What’s better than that?
