I’ve gotten a lot of inquiries about how I’m doing with the historic Arkansas flood, since I spend some of my time in Arkansas. Fortunately I haven’t been severely effected by it the way some have, particularly in Fort Smith and Oklahoma. It is the worst flooding in Arkansas History, a 500 year flood, which means that most people who didn’t need flood insurance are now under water without a safety net to help them get back to normal. Let’s keep them all in our prayers, Mother Nature is mystical and magical and also fierce. Here is a video I took of the Arkansas River in downtown Little Rock, where the River Trail sculpture garden is. It gives you a sense of how things are as of today. The water is expected to keep rising about another 5 feet. See more content on my YouTube channel.

Growing up on her family’s farm in upstate New York, Georgia developed a passion for simple farm-to table food and a deep connection to the outdoors. Having worked in the finance world after college, she decided to leave her cubicle and reconnect with her roots. After graduating from the French Culinary Institute, she began working in Michelin restaurants in New York and France, and soon started leading her renowned Adventure Getaways: excursions around the country aimed at promoting “manual literacy” and helping participants step outside of their comfort zone and experience life more viscerally. Georgia is a firm believer in empowering people to be self-sufficient, identify personal strengths and pursue their life passions.
