I had fun with Savannah, the three year old daughter
of Sylvia, one of the Rodriguez Family Sisters.
I held Savannah's little hand for the first time.
We walked around to various vendor booths at
the Hillcrest Farmers' Market, tasting various foods.
It was a highlight of my day.
There is a video I want to make about that time
spent with Savannah. I will do this with Sponsor funds.
I have many projects I want to do this summer, including
a lot of infrastructure organizing at home, and getting
our Enchanted Garden Kitchen set up to
feature various Natural Products from my favorite
companies and organic entrepreneurs:

Sylvia's oldest daughter, Samantha, first began working
at the Farmers' Market at this age. I have a picture of her.
Samantha is now a freshman in College. The story goes
on. The farmers struggle. Joe Rodriguez, Jr, who I call
Joe the Farmer in my unfinished book and video,
still hopes for the best as he struggles with rising
costs of water and a host of problems; yet the
innocence of Savannah inspires me to keep moving
through my own issues that include attempting
to do three jobs. The third job is taking care of my
body and it wants more attention.
I was working on a 2011 Sponsor presentation
the last three days inspired by an email from
Stonyfield Farm for more documentation.
I admire Gary HIrshberg the CE-Yo of Stonyfield Farm.
Look at this video on this link and you will see why.
By the way, when I wrote the document,
A Love Letter to Joe the Farmer years ago,
Gary offered inspiration and motivation to see it succeed.

Their Boss is Gary Hirshberg...
Folks from Stonyfield Farm at the Natural Product Expo West
in March. The little green pot in the foreground is organic alfalfa
growing, my brand for the Organic Uprising Campaign.
Standing Up for Nature's Original Technology is my focus
now both on the road, and increasingly at home this summer.
THIS IS INSPIRING!!!!!

Shakti Kate Popovich, co-founder of the Prosperity Hive has her
garden here at the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community.
She has uplifted my spirit tremendously since last November
during very difficult times here at home. Angelene Frattalone
is one of my best allies at home. She moved out last September
or so, and then moved back in a few months ago.
THE BEGINNING OF MY
2011 SPONSOR PRESENTATION
This is just a start.
I worked three days on this
in various forms in the midst of a lot
going on at home this and last week.
Then I watched this story of Gary HIrshberg,
CE-YO of Stonyfield Farm. Watching this gave me some
hope.
I am not good in this moment at making presentations.
I do not even have the technology down to generate
a good invoice!!!!
Well, at least I started.
JUST EAT ORGANIC
WITH GARY HIRSHBERG
AND THE STONYFIELD MOMS!
