So very sad about Whitney Houston's passing.  She will be missed but will live on forever in song.  Here is a video of Houston's final performance.  This past Thursday night she joined Gospel singer Kelly Price on stage to sing a little of the song "Jesus Loves Me"

Just 7 days away from Valentines Day. 

If your thinking of giving flowers this year be careful you could be sending a message and it could be one you do not want to send.  Don’t want to send mixed messages we know how tuff dating is already.  Here are some tips on the number of roses you send and the special meaning they hold according to Teleflora

-One rose is meant for early in a relationship, and means love at first sight.

 -Three roses represents a shared love, and should be a one-month anniversary gift.

 -Six roses symbolizes passion and infatuation.

 -Ten roses says you believe your love is PERFECT.

 -Twelve roses is perfect for Valentine's Day, and means "be mine."

 -Thirteen roses means you just want to be friends.  YIKES!  Friendship Zone.

 -Fifteen roses means you're SORRY.

 -Twenty-four roses is like SHOUTING "I'm yours."

 -And forty roses means your love is truly genuine.  And also you have a lot of money.
