Welcome to tonight’s Flow Feature! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas day, and survived the Boxing Day retail experience. This Flow Feature is the last in our Christmas ‘mini-series’, and we hope you enjoy it. Tonight we would like to introduce you all to Emma Goffe from Portsmouth, England.

The first Florence + The Machine song that Emma heard was ‘What The Water Gave Me’. She heard it for the first time played by her sister on an MP3 player that she had borrowed from a friend.  From the first listen Emma was pulled in by Florence’s voice, amazed at how beautiful the sound was. From then on, she insisted that her sister play it at every opportunity, as well as the other Florence + The Machine songs on the player. 

A few months passed, and by now Emma knew every Florence + The Machine song there is. She continued to be blown away by Florence’s soaring vocals, astounded that someone could create such a beautiful sound. Emma began investigating this beautiful, goddess of a woman, learning everything there was to know about her. When she chose her subjects for school, she tried to think through Florence’s mind, and find subjects that Florence would choose herself. 

Emma admits that she isn’t very good at school, and is in the lowest set for most subjects. The only subjects in which she performs highly are art and textiles, the subjects that she chose on honour of Florence. Since finding Florence + The Machine, and idolising Florence Welch, Emma has been able to find her niche in life, and discover her previously hidden talents. 

If Florence hadn’t come into her life, Emma doesn’t know where she would be today. Emma is eternally grateful to Florence for helping her on the road she is now on.

Thank you to Emma Goffe for sharing your inspiring story. We hope that you continue to discover your identity and talents with the support you now have.

We hope you enjoyed tonight’s Flow Feature, along with the entire Christmas Flow Feature ‘mini-series’. It has been a pleasure to share these stories with you all, and we hope that they brightened your day, and even gave you any inspiration you needed.

This will also be the last Flow Feature of 2012! By the time next Friday comes around, we will be in a new year. Thank you all for your support this year, and we hope we can continue to do you all proud in 2013. 

Why not take the chance to start the New Year with a bang, and show your support for the Flow community. Send us your story today and you could just be the first Flow Feature of 2013. We can’t wait to hear what incredible and inspiring stories we will read about next year. 

Love to you all,

Inspiring Flows xXx
