📌 Loved by the conference attendees I met

“Attendees I connected with at the 2025 American College of Lifestyle Medicine conference in Dallas, Texas 🤠; the American Holistic Nurses Association conference in Niagara Falls, New York 💦; and the Plantrician Power of the Plate conference in San Diego, California 🌴 tremendously loved May’s pins. We keep requesting more!

May, please never, ever stop creating. We will support you forever.

I am proud to keep sharing your work through Kitchen Monk™ and Flourishing Nursing™ and to encourage our communities to shop directly with you.”

🥑 From an avocado festival to a flourishing partnership

I met May at the California Avocado Festival in Carpinteria, California, in 2025. That meeting is where our story began. Today, we are joining forces through Kitchen Monk™ and Flourishing Nursing™ to introduce more people to her work.

To me, this partnership connects the kitchen, creativity, and community. A playful food pun can begin a conversation; a thoughtful gift can say thank you. I want our community to know the person behind the products and to support her business directly.

My invitation is simple: browse our selected gifts, choose something you love, and tell a friend. Whether you are thanking a nurse, celebrating a loved one, or bringing a little humor into your kitchen, please think of Wood Be Remembered.
