I really wanted to move to Lopez full-time but had no luck finding a job.  So one day while visiting the Farmers Market, I shared that with Virginia.  She quietly asked, what other things do you love to do.  So I replied, well I like to bake things for people but have no professional training at all.  She had such a positive attitude encouraging me.  She had such a special way that made me feel that “I could do it.  So I went back to Seattle, did some research and discovered I could get a commercial license for my in-law kitchen in my basement.  I continued talking with Virginia who encouraged me to just give it a try.  Virginia was always so upbeat and positive, that I did just that — I created the Dessert Pedaler Bakery.  I will always appreciate Virginia for her huge heart, incredible patience, calm demeanor, remarkable communication skills and positive spirit which will be with me always and I know shaped many lives!
