A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Carol-Ann Hamilton, host of The Conscious Caregiver Show.
An elegant interviewer and formidable wordsmith, she reminded me that the definition of Preserving as in Preserving Your Bloom (PYB) is maintaining something in its original or existing state, protecting, safeguarding or looking after and caring for. Carol-Ann also pointed out the meaning of my first name: Iris.
Iris means rainbow in Greek and Iris was a Greek goddess who served as a messenger representing faith hope, wisdom and courage. I’m very happy that my mom and dad gave me such a fortuitous name and that being a messenger for positivity has certainly been a large part of my life work.

Hope you both enjoy and learn something from our conversation.
And I leave you with the following that someone much wiser than me penned:
We inevitably encounter losses and pain as we age. People we love get sick.
People we love need us to care for them and advocate for them.
And people we love will one day leave us.
I firmly believe that the secret to overall contentment comes from acceptance of life as it is.
Keep Preserving Your Bloom,
Iris Ruth Pastor
