My story:

The doctor  told me what I had waited to hear for 6 weeks, “You can put the weight on your leg now.” It was 3 days before Christmas, at 40 I had severely broken my leg and thanks to a great surgeon the bone was now healed and straight.

I had images in my mind that I would go into the doctor’s office, given permission to bare weight and  I would be walking out with out any assistance from a cane, walker or person. This was only in my minds eye of a memory that currently did not match reality.

The doctor left the room I slid off the table and found the pain was so great I couldn’t even put full weight on the leg let alone walk on my own! Disappointing wasn’t the word. The work had just begun, I discovered more and more I couldn’t do because my leg was not only weak, it was inflexible, demonstrated so precisely by the fact I couldn’t ride an exercise bike due to the fact my knee didn’t bend that much. I was successful over time to walk not only as well as before and better. The only solution was to become flexible and  strong to become better than before.

The challenge:

I see this a lot in life with the people I talk to.  They can be weak and inflexible, weak and flexible, strong and inflexible or  strong and flexible. I have found very few that are the idea of strong and flexible.

When I was young I was strong yet inflexible, the more unhealthy I became the weaker and more inflexible I became. Once I stepped on to the path of True Health that is when both strength and flexibility became a reality and just like my leg became strong and flexible enough to ride a bike, it can be done with the right knowledge, time and energy to create it.

I have found the most successful ways includes this ability to be strong and flexible at the same time. Too inflexible and something breaks too easily and too weak means too easily crushed under weight. I have found with farming if your farm does not have both of these traits what you are left with is no food or low quality food. I grow food for others and for my family because I am hard pressed to find what I need on the market, even at my local farmer’s market. My goal with By Design Farm is to be the best at being flexible and strong creating the best product. This goal is always present with me to create what is needed.


The facts:

I support local first  when I can not grow what I need. However I did find a perfect example of purchasing food that I knew was grown right (I have faith the label was accurate)  a rice grown by System of Rice Intensification (SRI). I wrote an article (1) "More with less: True success for the world creates 45 bags, not just 27!" which talks about how effective SRI in working with the environment instead of against it, with higher yields using less water, seeds, fertilizer and producing plants that are pest and disease resistant. This was a product that brings the world closer together  to help all. It becomes a win/win situation where all come out ahead by creating crops that sustainable, feeding more with less use of our resources, less damage to environment, creating both happy farmers, people and economy.

Voting with my dollars:

I voted with my dollars to support those who are creating business which create profit with a higher propose as written in one of my previous articles, “Republican and Democrats agree: Wealth disruption  too lopsided in the United States. Is there a solution?” (2) By voting with my dollars I am ultimately helping to redistribute the wealth of America so there is a chance to bring all above the poverty line, a healthy middle class and the wealthy earning more due to a stronger more effective methods.  I hope I see this change in my life time or at least something that comes close, not only here in America, but in the world. So far there is no other planet to move too, I can only see making the best of what we have here as a viable option.

Final words:

The first step as always is to make a choice to step on to the path of True health by helping yourself, making yourself strong and flexible first so you are able to help others help themselves to become stronger and flexible.
