#messageoftheweek

Message of the week. It's a little late, but I'm posting quotes I find every week this year to keep me going.I think this one's from Peter Pan.

Every day I learn a new lesson. Message of the Week:  

 It isn’t the quantity but the quality of an experience. Who shows up does NOT measure the scale of your purpose.

 First week we began a training program, which required an 80-mile drive plus 4 hours of time, over two days with the expectation of 10 attendees. As we waited for class to begin, there were two people (Jazmine - a young woman with her son- Tajah) eager to attend and begin learning our 3D Model of Sustainability™, using plants for Education (STEM), Food, Health and Mental Wellness and Enterprise.

 At first, the son Tajah was immersed in his tablet with his earbuds, not paying much attention to us. Once we started the presentation describing the class, he put down his earbuds/tablet, pulled up a chair next to his mom Jazmine and was “All on Board” . He not only offered information to Ms. Stinson, his mom and I about plants, environments and more, he asked if he could miss school to attend the next day’s class. When asked how he got so smart, he said, “his mother” and then proceeded to ask for a weekend class to learn about growing plants, STEM and even enterprise!

 Now we are into Week 2, Tajah and Jazmine are going strong and have strengthened my belief that there are confirmations when you are on the right path. It may not always be easy, however the scale of the contribution to generational education and life skills is unmeasurable.

 Stay tuned for more information about our non-profit organization, Next Generation Harvest move to the Dominican Center, Milwaukee, WI. The Dominican Center was previously my elementary school - St. Leo’s and where we began our mission to provide hydroponics as a tool of learning, sustainable food, and income possibilities. We are looking forward to 2023 for exciting new adventures and changes for the future.
