What Inspires You Each Year?

Hey Reader ,

January is the time for dreaming up new things to do, new goals, ambitions and inspirations. It is a clean slate to try something you have been yearning to do or even to get rid of something you don't want to do anymore.

I look at my list of accomplishments from last year and they don't have to be big by any means!! It could be how many total days I hiked or I finally was able to do ____ or something as simple as I got a PR at the gym on a deadlift. ANY accomplishment is more than you did before. Set goals, try something hard, try something new and I should change that...don't just TRY, actually DO the thing you want.

So what will you do this year?

Reply and let me know.

And if you need help to accomplish that goal, I can do that too whether just be your cheerleader, say a prayer for you or you can even hire me as your personal life coach - your Value-Added Coach. Send me an email to find out more information on the program.

Upcoming EVENTS -

Stay tuned for another Bread Making class as the first one sold out right away!!

How to Make Homemade Bread - TBD

How about being able to make a batch of dough to last you all week in a few easy steps! I use the artisan bread in 5 minutes a day method and you can learn this easy method in one workshop. This is a yeast bread but long fermentation helps break down the gluten.

We will go over different grains/flours to use and everyone will have an opportunity to grind wheat.

All students will make their own dough to take home and we will bake a couple loaves to eat during class.

We will also learn about the soft Sourdough loaf breads - how to feed the starters and make the dough to baking the bread. Each person will go home with a starter.

Herbal Chocolate Workshop Saturday, February 7th 1:00pm - 4:00pm at the Portico Study Center in Watkinsville.

Chocolate meets herbs in this deliciously hands-on workshop! Together we’ll taste a range of chocolates and explore how herbs and mushrooms—both culinary and medicinal—can be paired to create unique, nourishing flavor experiences. Expect guided tastings, herbal insights, and plenty of sensory exploration.

You’ll also get your hands chocolatey during a creative activity where you’ll craft your own herbal chocolate to enjoy and take home.

Mastering The Wild - From Field & Forest to Market

Saturday, March 21 -Sunday, March 22 - 9:00am - 4:00pm at William Harris Homestead

You already grow it. You already harvest it. You love to forage.
Now it’s time to turn it into something that lasts—and sells.

Mastering the Wild is a hands-on, in-person workshop designed for foragers, homesteaders, and small-scale growers who want to transform what they harvest from the land into value-added products for market.

Over two full days, you’ll learn how to move from raw abundance to finished goods—ethically, legally, and profitably—without losing the heart of why you started.
