LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW YEAR

As the year 2021 comes to close, I’m looking forward to see what the new year 2022 has in store. I have dreams and goals set already that I would like to achieve and currently working on an active plan to stay focused and accomplish all of them. In all my years, I know I’ve never been so driven to stay focused and succeed like I am now. Somewhere along my life path the gears shifted, and I’m glad, excited, anxious and a slew of other emotions. THIS IS GOOD!

I’ve discovered my passion. I’ve known it was there for years but didn’t know what to do with it. I don’t believe I was ever schooled or trained to seek out a mentor for my passion, instead counseled to seek out a life with the least resistance and something that could make ends meet. I allowed fear to consume me and found it’s extremely paralyzing. My self-doubt and self-criticism ruled. All that did was keep me unhappy and dissatisfied with where I found myself in life.

A new mindset has been birthed, a hope renewed. I find myself with a drive like never before. The pursuit of my passion of food. I love to cook good food and experience new taste. I am not a chef by any means, but I am a great cook and love what I do. Now that the fear hurdle has been leapt over, I find this isn’t as horrid as I imagined. The thought of “why didn’t I do this sooner” will try to loom in my head, but it wasn’t time just yet, it wasn’t time. I giggle, actually, at the stupidity of allowing fear to consume me.

I’m exuberantly looking forward to what the new year 2022 brings in the experience of sharing great recipes with you and blogging about life and food. Thank you for choosing to follow my journey.
