Meet Jill Brooke and the Flower Power Creative Team
FLOWERPOWERDAILY is designed to help you bring the beauty of flowers to your home, garden, and gatherings. You’ll get endless tips on how to grow stunning blooms, style them in your living space, and incorporate them into unforgettable parties and events.
Flowers are never in a rush. They bloom when they are ready. Over my lifetime, I’ve learned many life lessons from flowers.
Through the years, I’ve been a CNN correspondent, an EIC at Travel Savvy, Avenue and Show Circuit, a columnist for the New York Post, Ad Week and Metropolitan Home, as well as writing for the New York Times, and many women’s magazines. I was also chief content officer at First Wives World
Yet nothing has ever felt as right as this project.
Because at this chapter of life, you want to plant seeds of possibility and share some of your hard-won wisdom with others, as well as do what you love. Whenever I’ve needed a breath of beauty or a break from the ugliness of the world, flowers have been my solace. I hope this site elicits that experience for you.
After creating this idea, I gathered seasoned professionals who share the same passion for flowers and respect nature’s gifts and insights to help curate this happy project.
We hope you will be patient with us since we are just seedlings now; over time this garden will grow. But every day we will present stories inspired by flowers and floral motifs, making us the first all-floral news site.
Since we look at how flowers populate pop culture, each day will bring a different focus as well as a daily burst of positivity, beauty and wisdom.
On Mondays, especially on our Instagram, we look at decor, art and travel. Tuesdays are tips about flower arranging, gardens or using flowers in everyday life. Wellness Wednesday looks at how flowers are used in medicine, as well as the beauty industry – especially fragrances in candles and oils. Throwback Thursdays reflect on the past by presenting timeless beauty and wisdom. Friday will always be a fun fact about flowers and meeting some fab florists. Saturday is our fashion day as well as weekend fun with pets – as we share photos of beloved canines and cats with flowers. Sunday is our Floral Foodie Sunday and we introduce you to a cast of characters who inventively use flowers in their cuisine and drinks.
Join us for our curated newsletter, Instagram and website. Fun we will have. If you look at life through the prism of flowers- you will be happier. As I often say, flowers are here for a reason and teach great life lessons. We use flowers to both comfort and congratulate and to express sentiments without many words. No matter what is going on in your life – flowers are here for you. Because flowers are a universal kiss to remind us that solace and beauty exist.

Linda Lee learned gardening from her grandmother in Minnesota. The garden was filled with hollyhocks, Irish bells, day lilies, baby’s breath, snapdragons, gladioli, zinnias, marigolds, daisies, dahlia … you know, grandmother flowers.

Nancy Molina has been carving her path as a media producer for the past five years. In 2016, after helping to run her family’s restaurant business, she joined MGE Management Experts Inc. where she worked in sales, marketing, and communications.

In 2017, with two partners, she founded the social media agency SwipeDOWN, LLC in Atlanta, and later moved to New York—the mecca of media in her eyes—to make her mark in social media. Today, Nancy, who is Florida-based once again, has combined her skills and passion as the proud owner of two companies: PINMedia Group and a probiotic shop, Gravity X.
