Welcome to bloom-free.org

An Initiative of Bloom Free, Inc. NFP

  The Color of Courage is a transformative healing arts and wellness initiative powered by Bloom Free, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to empowering individuals—especially those in underserved communities—through trauma-informed programs, emotional restoration, and holistic wellness solutions. 

 

This initiative brings together two powerful programs designed to raise awareness, promote emotional recovery, and build community resilience:

  • Canvases of Courage
    A public, healing art exhibit showcasing the visual stories of individuals—women and men—who have faced emotional trauma, illness, or personal adversity. Through curated artwork, this program centers creative expression as a tool for healing, reflection, and transformation.
     
  • Toast to Hope
    A vibrant breast cancer awareness and celebration event focused on honoring survivors, supporting fighters, and educating the community. Guests participate in a joyful brunch, paint party, and community gathering centered around wellness, sisterhood, and strength.
     

Together, these programs reflect our commitment to helping individuals heal from the inside out

—using art, story, and connection to make healing visible.

"All I can say is, "Thank you! It's been 6 months since my surgery and I am down 80lbs already. Every bump in the road, and every concern you have answered. Thank you. I am ready for the workout part of my process now. I can't wait to meet ME!" 

I am nervous to meet the new me but if you can do it, and I have your support, I can do it. I'm nervous but so excited to begin this chapter in my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

 "After speaking with Dr. Terri Simmons today I was truly enlightened. She is such an inspiration. Thank you for being so raw, real & transparent during our conversation. Every question or thought about having the procedure was answered clearly. I now feel comfortable having someone trustworthy to walk through this journey with. Thank you for being so personable and fluid. I would highly recommend you to anyone considering BMI surgery."

"I've always started out hoping for the best and wanting this time to be different. I can honestly say this time has been different!

It was a little daunting to hear the words "90 Day Challenge." Let's face it a challenge is challenging. I wasn't really sure if I was up for the challenge! 

It turns out I was ready. 

With the support and encouragement from Terri I wake up every day knowing I'm ready to face the day with a successful mindset.

 It turns out support is the key!!You have to believe in yourself with the help from others. I had to admit I'm not a person who can readily ask for help. I know I'm able to make it because I do have support and accountability."Trust me, if I can do it, you can too!" That's what Terri told me in the beginning. It's true.

And so can you!"

I Am Now Aware!

 "Hello Dr. Terri! Today's talk with you was very helpful. Already it's made me aware and mindful of changes I need to make. I know I can't go back to letting getting my health and weight in order just be a good idea. Now I have some more things to put in place. It seems that this idea went from the back of my mind to now being in the forefront! Thanks, I will put in the work!" J. Y.

"Terri, thank you for being here for me. Your stories are one thing to read them but to hear your surgery story in detail gave me more, so much more than I expected. I'll have my surgery in February. Thank you so much for all of your encouragement. I'm anxious and nervous but I know God is with me holding one hand and you are holding the other!!"   RR
