Our Testimonials

How We Got Here

Two of the principals of Life Realized volunteered for three years for the original non-profit prior to its reorganization and name change (to Life Realized) in mid-2019. During that time, they were responsible for the creation of numerous new programs in music, small business entrepreneurship, education, and local-area sustainable food growth, which are summarized below.

Executing each of these successful programs required significant time, energy, and attention to myriad details. It is this history in program creation, development, and execution that is now being focused on the future, by continuing existing programs and creating new ones to support our clients as they seek to realize their best life by achieving their life’s passion.

Music

Produced 17 concert events; started community-based weekly Open Mic program (Oct. 2018); started open mic associated Scholarship Fund (which collected over $2,500 in six months); held stringed instrument repair workshop for open mic participants, with cost-shared instrument repair through Scholarship Fund.

Local Food

Local-Area Sustainable Food Growth: organized and coordinated two annual Edible Landscape Tours, which provided local residents and visitors alike with the opportunity to tour local-area properties whose owners are actively engaged in growing food using sustainable techniques.

Education

Coordinated and offered numerous workshops, classes and seminar series in topics including basic fermentation, local edible plants, self-exploration, cooking and healthy living, drum making, art and material arts/crafting in various media.

Small Business Entrepreneurship

Provided multi-session business development counseling for on-site nursery; provided classroom space, promotion, and other needed support for local artist to transition to Art Instructor, currently with multiple (watercolor) painting class offerings; created, promoted and coordinated a weekly local-area artisan/craftsperson fair to provide those vendors with community exposure and the opportunity to sell their wares.

Where we’re going…

Life Realized will bring our programs directly into the Community, where those we can help work and live. We will seek out those in our Community who support our mission, and give them the opportunity to join our efforts as volunteers, committee members, program coordinators, instructors, and mentors. It will be the combined efforts of and for the members of our Community, as well as their financial support, that will allow Life Realized to succeed in our mission to help everyone who is willing to realize their best life by achieving their life’s passion.
