Do What You Love

So, what do I do now? Because I am a planner, not knowing exactly what I will be doing is unsettling. One day I am thinking about creating a farmer's market, the next a lecture series. Should I help a friend restore her back yard garden or grow dahlias on a vacant lot? Should I get involved in setting up CSA's in underserved areas or help the Autism Foundation see their vision of an organic garden come to fruition? Should I stay local or commute to New York City? Should I remain in the horticulture field or try something entirely different? I am amazed at how many interesting opportunities are out there. I was always so busy running the CSA that I never allowed myself time to consider anything else. I read recently that you should do what you love and do it well. So, with that in mind, I wait and think and try to consider every option with an open mind.

  2. Hey mamma I love the autism possibility obviously!!! haha But all of them are promising...so many to choose from. I talked to my friend Jenny last night for like three hours about all kinds of stuff, and we are at that point too...Just trying to figure out the next step. The step will be taken its just a matter of when and to where? Oh and did some research today about my future career development project :) Its fun!!
