I’m going on a quest for knowledge. I’m leaving my safe place. My comfy home. I went into a meeting with a man that wields more power than I ever dreamed possible. I knew for a couple of weeks that this meeting was going to happen. I purposefully didn’t google him. That morning I checked him out on facebook. That afternoon I was blown away. I was given two tasks, go learn at a farm somewhere else, and bring some produce. I’ve got the produce on lock, so what did I do? I went.  Screech! Plans changed immediately. This was Friday afternoon. It’s now Sunday morning at 4:45am. I left that life changing meeting with a zeal I wasn’t yet aware I was capable of. I am here now writing to let everyone know that I am on my way to Colorado. I am going to Denver. This is something that I feel deeply compelled to do. I got on the internet, I did research, I found someone to reach out to in Colorado. I have secured a place to stay, a farm to volunteer at, and an action plan for my downtime.

I plan on blogging frequently, and might even set up a twitter…gasp!

This journey is one that excites me. I have a goal, a plan, but I am leaving my support system, my comfort zone, to places and experiences unknown. I am ever thankful to God and his many blessings. I am so happy to have a way to share the easy steps to being a healthier human through whole food nutrition. I believe so fiercely in the human body’s reliance on fruits, vegetables and berries, that I went from a 12 year career in the insurance industry, the last three of which were in health care, to being an urban farmer. To grow good health. To make amazing heirloom, organic produce available to everyone.

So I am off to Colorado come Tuesday. I am set for a place by the end of the week for a month. I am so excited to see how much I can learn, how I can volunteer in Denver while I am there, how I can network in order to help others succeed as well. It’s all very profound for me, as I feel that I was called to make a complete change and then a dream came. That dream has evolved into a mission, a lifestyle. A complete dedication to the success of this venture. People need to eat whole foods. Poison will kill you. The human body requires the nutrients found in produce. Period. I want to grow it and sell it to all of Dallas soon, so I need to get myself to Denver as soon as possible.

It’s weird how things just fall into place, but here I am actually prepared and able to go to Colorado. Excited isn’t a strong enough word.

Peace and kindness
