"Purpose creates an opportunity for value creation. Passion follows purpose. Passion creates energy, money is attracted to energy."
— Garrett Gunderson: is an entrepreneur and author
I believe that we all have a gift. Something we can do that we do in a unique way, but not that we necessarily do it better. I have three things in life that I am passionate about: Gardening, Art, and Cooking. I had my first herb garden when I was 9. I have always lived somewhere with land enough for a vegetable garden, it is so much a part of who I am. This Artichoke photograph is from 2008, when I planted a garden where I live now.
They are such beautiful plants, (Passion #'s 1 & 2) and they have that wonderful thistle like flower that is edible (passion #3) and if you let it go to seed, has a big purple flower. I always let one go.
I know my purpose is to find the way put my three passions together. One of my dreams has always been to have a small coffee house/restaurant, gallery and nursery combination. I would have to wear all three hats sometimes, but it just seems like a great way to combine my talents and passions. Not just my food, and not just my art, and not just my plants, but more a meeting place or collaboration for people whose interests run parallel to mine.
