Do you know that feeling when you have your hands around a bottle of soda and you shake it so hard that you can feel the plastic start to swell? The feeling right before the top goes flying off? There is a brief moment of pause, like a calm before the storm. I’ve been that plastic bottle for almost 2 1/2 years now.
Tomorrow is my last day at the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts. I enjoyed my time there, but after almost 2 and 1/2 years of encouraging students to follow their dreams and pursue their passion… it is time for me to do the same.
I’m not sure what will happen next, but it’s a big deal for me to step away from all that is familiar. It’s the first time I have taken a step with out a Plan A or Plan B. I am terrified of the unknown, and even more scared of failure. I just know that the top is off and I am ready to explore life without a plan. Life with creativity. Life with music. Life that is stress free. I know the things I want and want to do. 2013 seems like a good time to get ‘er done. I didn’t make a “New Year’s Resolution” this year, but I did make my “To Do” List and now that I will have my biggest one checked off… There are only good things to come.
Thank you to each and everyone of you that helped me find my strength to take this leap. I couldn’t have done it without you.
