The sunflower symbolizes hope, happiness, joy, adoration, loyalty, longevity, and renewal. They are as bright and cheery as they are warm and inviting ... just like our warm summer sun. Their vibrant yellow petals are known as "rays." They are literally sun rays shining bright. They provide positive energy in the form of nourishment and vibrancy. They also help each other below the surface. Their roots are aware of each other and work together to share nutrients. How beautiful is that!?!

The Shine Center embodies these exact same feelings and sensations and happily welcomes the sunflower as inspiration for our mission and vision.
