CobraHead Video Review by Shawna Coronado!
I was very excited to see this video today. It was made by Shawna Coronado, a Chicago area gardener and writer. Here is the link to her blog, The Casual Gardener, where she first posted the video. Shawna also has a website and book called Gardening Nude, which is not at all about stripping off your clothes in the garden. In actuality, it features tips on making healthier and greener gardening and lifestyle choices.
I first met Shawna back in March when Geoff and I exhibited at the Chicagoland Flower and Garden Show, where she picked up a CobraHead from us. I got to know Shawna a little bit better when we both attended the Chicago Garden Bloggers Spring Fling last month. She's a really cool, laid-back person, and it's obvious from talking to her, reading her blogs, and watching her videos that she's trying to make a positive difference in the world and encourage others to do so as well.
Just this weekend I spoke with a sweet old woman who approached me at a conference. She grasped my hand and said a simple truth, "You are meant to do this. You are meant to do good in the world. If you have passion and believe in what you do, then quality and livelihood will follow." She reassured me at a time when I really needed it.
In turn, let me reassure you with her message - without a doubt, the quality which you dedicate to the tools you sell at CobraHead is really connected with the basic family values and moral belief that living healthily and doing a job right is more important than anything else.
Keep doing a good job. Keep living by your heart. And keep producing wonderful tools which people love. It's all connected.
Best wishes -
Shawna Coronado
