About Me or How I ended up creating an organic food website...

This is where I tell you a bit about me. My name is Doris. I live in Kitchener, Ontario. I spent the early part of my life on a farm.

Following high school, I went directly into Nursing School. Then, after graduation, I found myself drawn toward gerontology. I had a passion to be where I could do the most good.

I delighted in being able to make a difference in their lives. When I had to work on Christmas day, I went to work with the attitude that "I was going to make this a special day for each of the residents". And I did.

I left the profession of nursing at a time when full-time employment was not available. There are those that thought I had wasted my education. No. What I learned I have used most everyday since then.

Then somewhere in there, I found time to marry a man who already had three children. So, just like that I was a step mom. The children were 3, 6 and 10 years old. That is my husband with me in the picture above.

Things went pretty well. Probably because we involved the children. My husband even asked his oldest, if he thought it would be OK to ask me out. I considered this to be a remarkable thing for a father to do. This son was also the Best Man at our wedding.

Getting the kids to eat healthy was learned on the home front. Now, all three have grown and are healthy. They even learned enough to make healthy choices for themselves.

Shortly after getting married, I attempted to start my own business. It was to be a service oriented business offering secretarial skills. This served as my first business failure.

But, I wasn't to be stopped.

The only one powerful enough to stop you from achieving your dreams is...you.

So off I went to get retrained. After returning, I worked for a management consulting firm in Toronto. My days would start at 5:30 am. and I wouldn't get home most nights until 7:00 pm. I was driving up to 5 hours a day.

Ten months later, I left having given 7 weeks notice. The cost of fuel, the wear and tear on the car and on me, made the decision easy.

Then, being able to build a website with no technical knowledge was solved by SBI. CLICK here to read my story about SBI and website building.

And providing you, a visitor to this site, the information that you need to make healthy eating choices is rewarding. I hope that I have been able to make your life just a little bit easier.

All the best,

Doris
