For the longest while I wanted to write on here but didn't know what to say or where to start, mainly because in my mind, I dedicated this blog to my culinary journey. Since that has been put to a slight halt (DON'T WORRY, I DID GRADUATE), I figured my blog was just DONE, FINISHED, OVER! I mean, I could just delete this one and start over so I can talk about other things besides cooking...but why, this blog meant a lot to me, I enjoy sharing bits of my culinary journey. But I don't have much more to say about my journey, I'm not working in a kitchen or a catering hall, I'm not even focused on cooking (besides what I do in my own home) because I'm so involved in EVERYTHING else that's going on in my life during this season, and that EVERYTHING else is what I REALLY want to share!
Ssssoooooo what exactly is the problem again?? THERE ISN'T ONE!! Do I love to cook? OFCOURSE! But there's so much more. Therefore, I would like to refocus my blog, just as I did my life.
People love to attach themselves or others to ONE thing. Oh you're an amazing author, a great musician, a lovely singer, a powerful speaker....but what about EVERYTHING ELSE! There's usually so much more to a person then what you see on the surface, so don't succumb yourself or anyone else to a box. Look at your life, your desires, your God-given talents, look at every assignment given to you by God....don't become overwhelmed believing that you can't do it all...smile at every plan He has for you and go after it...ALL OF IT!
Chase after every goal, accomplish all that you can, when you wake up every morning think of what you can do productive today, think of how you can affect others positively, check in with God to see what's on your "to-do" list and pray for the strength to do it all.
