Idea or Reality

     In the age of artificial - A.R.T.I.F.I.C.I.A.L. - "intelligence" it is so much easier to turn an idea into reality and a rate that is super human.  I know that for me, I can't even keep up with the everchanging arena at which technology changes.  Welcome to the world wide west.  

    Kitchizen was started as a business model that doesn't match any other business model and I have fallen in love with everything that she stands for.  No more corporations withholding all the secrets of doing business.  I want to be transparent in my interactions with clients and do the best possible work I can for every single client that contacts me.  I am done with the constant need to consume, it has been such a difficult transition and have I done it without mistake - absolutely not!  

    I think that the social responsibility of a company needs to go more than just the clients though - they are just the money that comes in to any other business.  For me, it is a purpose that I have slowly become more passionate about.  I want to help their home feel at peace and where better to start than in the kitchen, I truly believe it is the heart of the home.  It is where we go to get nourished and strengthened every day to feel we can face another day.  

    While I do not just want to focus on the "job" or the project I had an amazing idea.  

A SELF SUSTAINING ECO SYSTEM HERB GARDEN

    I know that there have been lots of everything everywhere.  Especially with Amazon - you can find literally anything - reasonably priced and fast delivery.  In my search for this idea to make a reality I have hit quite a few road blocks.  

#1 - It is all cheaply made and designed for fast production and fast money

    This might be dating me - but I remember the slow paced day where 5 minutes felt like an ETERNITY and my favorite part of every meal were the vegetables and fruits.  My eye opening experience is when I had the opportunity to go to Israel in 2014.  Vegetable salads every morning for breakfast with fresh tasting produce that was ripened to perfection.  I was suddenly a child eating the items that I loved.  

    I was dealing with a womanly bleeding issue.  I bled for weeks and weeks turned into months which turned into years.  When I went to Israel for 2 weeks I was severely anemic and faced a blood transfusion prior to our trip.  While I was in Israel I had stopped bleeding on my own and was able to walk up all of those hills in the old city of Jerusalem.  I felt strong, I felt like my body was no longer consuming my empty reserves, I FELT ALIVE!

    When I returned back to the United States I couldn't wait to make my own salads and start doing better for my body.  I was SEVERLY disappointed when I sunk my teeth into a fresh good looking strawberry and it was SOUR.  I spit it out.  This fruit was so red and appealing on the outside but why is it tasting like this?????????

    I am 41 years old, raised in the pacific northwest, I have suffered from atypical dysplasia which in non medical terms - my uterus was unhappy and precancerous.  Doctor's ideas were that I was dealing with PCOS, and now I am in menopause.  That's what it sounded like, and the labs show the proof.  I know that there are lots of women that have been struggling with their hormones or menstrual cycle. 

    Kitchizen's purpose, MY PURPOSE, is to find better answers for our young ladies and young men who are already struggling with this and this is the hill I will die on.  Our children deserve better than what we are handed and what is "made" available to us without the use of online delivery services.  Let's end the cycle of abuse between the corporations and reality!!!
