Happy Azaleation Day!
Several years ago on March 8th, Margaret wrote her song “Azalea”, which later planted the seeds for the forming of her Growing Azalea Music Productions; her not for profit organization, Azalea Blossom, Incorporated; and her original children’s musical, ‘The Little Seed”. The concept of Azalea is to celebrate the uniqueness and beauty within each of us. “Azaleation Day” also coincidently coincides with International Women’s Day.
