Long before joining the Real Estate profession, while I was in my 20's, I was very much into "all green" and "environmentally friendly" life choices. It was not quite usual or generally accepted, by the general public, as a life style.

I left my town (Hermosa Beach CA.) and went to Hawaii where I lived for 2 years, enjoying every minute, feeling secure and "home".

Returning to the main land I opened my own clothing business a designing women clothing line made of HEMP. I was way ahead the time... my idea of sustainable eco-friendly clothing for women stirred up a lot of opposition and suspicion. The HEMP fabric had a wrong ring sound attached to it, for some ears, therefore mostly rejected as a sound marketing product.

The clothing line was very sassy, stylishly young and hip... not to motion that was 100% made from natural fabric with all natural accessories. I managed to go through a lot of hardship for 10 years... when finally I gave up and sold my business and my patented clothing line name. (Who by the way is successful and popular now)

I am nostalgic about those times... Why couldn't I stay green? 

Now working in a real world, for housing industries, I feel inspired to keep up with my old commitments and find a way to bring into my work all that can be done to help implementing eco-friendly way of living and life style.
