HELLOOOOOOO friends! I think it's safe to say that I've been a little MIA over here....and I'm very, very sorry for that. I don't want to make excuses but would like to explain a little. π€.....
Mostly, I let a little thing called "self-doubt" creep in and take over. I had a few minor set-backs....a negative review, a few new recipes not quite hitting, some dough falling flat, canceled events...and instead of just brushing off the flour and getting back to it...I let it all fester and turn into an onslaught of negative thinking and doubts. π€.....
Can I really do this? Is my baking good enough? Can I be dedicated enough? Can I truly commit to being consistent and reliable? Am I letting this take too much time away from my kids? Is it worth the hard work or am I just wasting my energy and time? You know, that old song and dance. π€.....
I had made up my mind last night that I was done with all that and ready to get back at it....I prepped the mini flight dough and then this morning I was given a sad & jarring reminder that tomorrow is not promised.....none of our days are and so we need to stop doubting, stop worrying, stop letting the anxiety steer and just go out and do what we want and what makes us happy, content and fulfilled in this one life. And as cliche and corny as that may sound, it was the final nudge I needed. π©΅.....
And so anyway, long story short π€ͺ I'm back at it with some re-discovered vigor!! I'll be announcing August's "Dog Days of Summer" flights at 6pm tonight (not 9pm as has been my norm). I will also have a little announcement regarding some restructuring of the business that I'm going to try and I will be looking for a little help with September's "We π€ Teachers" project!!.....
So set your alarm for 6pm and join me please! In the meantime, make the most of your Thursday and give someone you care about a hug, call or text π
