The Vision....

Coming soon!

Well, Life is GOOD! We are experiencing major growing pains. Look forward being in full flow serving our community at capacity. Thank You for all your Love and support! We will see You Soon!

New Menu Items weekly!
Requests and comments welcomed always!

Raw and Living Food is Just That! Living!!!
It literally has a mind if it's own and one in a while an energy or a thought can transform a perfect ten into a 2. If you ever have anything less than a TEN please tell us so we can learn too!

Thank YOU!

Wow! Overwhelming... Joy!!!

Thank You everyone who participated in our 2nd Saturday Festivities in December!!! We Love the excited energy around the service to our Community! I am grateful to be of service as this project develops and flowers into it's visualized potential.
We are here to be the Difference!
We are here to serve our family!
We are here living life in the heart of our creator.
We are not perfect!
We are dedicated of taking care of those in our stewardship!

This last week's experiences totaled up to a calm and collected Joyful experience.

Life Happens!
Things Happen!

When thing unexpected happen find the Best way to look at it.

I am grateful to know there is always another spirit in this life I am capable of providing service to.

No matter how "Big" a deal an experience is, there will always be another in a situation whose life I could positively affect with my interaction and love.

All that is here on this Earth belongs to the creator. That which we perceive to own truly own us if we try to claim it.

This last week as responsibility for this for completing tasks became too much for the 2 chef's alone and not enough help was scheduled. All the food we had planned to give to You our family sat in our coolers prepared yet not finished. So we shared what we had ready, and sampled what we had available.

We experienced mechanical failures as well as time management. I double booked my time! I did NOT factor in that my daughters would be present for the time to finish all the food. Brooke was booked by her now previous employer, We all need some sleep even if only 2-4. Making the BEST Food on the planet takes a LOT of Time and dedication!!!

The Love that goes into making the almond cheese alone is recorded for over 10 hours of CHEF time. Wait til YOU taste this...

So, The Long and Short...

We have a long exciting road ahead of as we plan for the development and production of multiple communities centers in multiple cities. We have a national and global mission to spread the Love of Light and Truth! We love to hear your Truths. This the building of our community and I am blessed and grateful for this charge to share my love for life.

These past 6 months I have run this facility as a place for friends and family to gather. I am grateful for the organized management skills which Brooke has and brings to the team. This means that my Big Crazy dream I see everyday is getting organized and You are invited to play on our team.

If you have always dreamed of making a difference in the world sharing your passionate strengths please send your resume and an email telling us about your vision of a beautiful world to dreamteam@synergychef.com
