Does Angelina Jolie Keep Cut Flowers In Her Home?Copyright © 2006-2008 Wesley Berry, AAFThere's actually good reason to believe that Angelina Jolie, once well known for being dark and quirky, may have traded in her knives and viles of blood for a vase of cut flowers. In recent years the public has watched Jolie go from a wild child to a mother with an enormous compassionate streak for children all over the world. Perhaps her newly displayed compassion is a result of flowers in her home. A recent study conducted at Harvard University in collaboration with the Society of American Florists (SAF) and the Flower Promotion Organization (FPO) showed that living with cut flowers increases feelings of compassion and enthusiasm as well as boosting energy and reducing anxieties. It also showed that these feelings carried over outside the home, such as to the workplace. The study is titled "Home Ecology of Flowers" and a massive publicity campaign to alert the world of the incredible effect of flowers. The public relations campaign involves making people aware of the benefit of flowers through stories seen in the everyday news. The spokeswoman for the campaign is the lead researcher for the Home Ecology of Flowers study, Nancy Etcoff, Ph.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. The study will be publicized through a satellite TV and radio tour in fifteen cities across the country, including Memphis, Tenn.; Tyler, Tex.; Kansas City; New Orleans; Fresno, Calif.; Eugene, Ore.; and Toledo, Ohio. In one of the interviews, Etcoff said, "We know that flowers make people happy when they receive them. What we didn't know is that spending a few days with flowers in the home can affect a wide variety of feelings-from compassion to worry. What was particularly surprising was the carryover effect-people who had flowers in their home also reported feeling more energetic and enthusiastic at work, too." In addition to the satellite and radio tour, SAF and FPO will release a press kit to the print media, target national consumer magazines, and Internet coverage on SAF's web site, aboutflowers.com, and flowerpossibilities.com. By the end of the campaign, SAF and FPO hope that Americans will have a better understanding of the important role flowers play in our lives. When it's all said and done, the world just may be full of happier, more compassionate people who have lots of energy to spread their enthusiasm. And, Angelina Jolie may just find herself with plenty of help in her own compassionate efforts around the world. About The Author:
