In honor of the new purpose of this wonderfully adorable website, I’ve deleted the old posts.  Think of it as the new leaf….a dedication if you will.

more to come.

I’ve started a couple of businesses and I’m revamping my website to be the home for them.  YAY!

My core business is Plant The Seed.  It’s a Naturopathic health and life coaching business.  I’m so jazzed that I can do something that I enjoy and actually make a living at it!  I love helping people get “unstuck”, change careers mid-stream, help with business development, lose 20 pounds without if feeling like they’re depriving themselves, make the switch to healthier eating, vegetarian or vegan lifestyle or work on why the relationships in their life really aren’t working.  Life , health (diet, cooking, exercise), career or that Je ne sais quoi.

The business that spun off of the coaching is the baking component, called Bake It.  It’s for people with dietary restrictions that either want to hire me to bake for them or want some lessons in their kitchen.  I bake vegan, gluten-free or sugar-free desserts and can help people learn how to bake these great little treats on their own if they so desire.

The third and mother business is my farm, called Grow It.  After living on and helping run a biodynamic/organic farm for somebody else, I’ve decided to run my own farm with the  for others.  I’ll be dedicating some greenhouses to herbal cultivation to make Naturopathic healing tinctures and home remedies, part of the farm will be food for Jeremy and I, part of the farm is intended to be part of the Rural WIC program (non-profit) and then there is the women’s retreat component that will house women that want to come to the farm to stay and explore their life options without the distractions of the outside world.  My favorite Tibetan Buddhist nuns will be coming to stay for a bit here and there so philosophical discussion is surely on the docket.  There will be plenty of alternative energy opportunities as I plan to build straw bale buildings, greenhouses out of recycled materials, a wind turbine and some experimental solar projects for power as well as cooking biodiesel on the property.  There is something for everyone.

One who is on the way but has not yet arrived, yet flashes learning and runs off at the mouth with intellectual understanding using eloquence and sharpness of tongue to gain victories, is like painting an outhouse vermilion. It only increases the odor.
