HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. KING

Hi Everyone…Today we celebrate Dr. King’s Birthday and I wanted to start off the day in honor of him…I know he would be so proud of history being made on tomorrow with the swearing in of President Elect Barack Obama.  I’m excited to share with you that I’m on my way to DC…I am designing the florals for one of the celebration parties in honor of President Elect Obama….I am so honored to share in the celebration and so very humbled to have been asked.  I thank you Dr. King and Happy Birthday To You!!

(April 3, 1968): ‘We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn’t matter with me now. Because I’ve been to the mountaintop. I won’t mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the Promised Land. So I’m happy tonight. I’m not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. ‘
