It is with great pleasure that I am letting you know that I have officially been given the title of Junior Sous Chef! Me! Junior SOUS Chef!
I think that sometimes it is difficult for everyone that reads this to see that I am jumping up and down with excitement.
More than the title I am excited because this represents an acknowledgement of both the work that I have done and the work that I have left to do. It acknowledges the knowledge that I have acquired in the ALMOST year that I have been at this BUT ALSO puts a responsibility on me to live up to the current expectations upon me but also those of my very incredible Chefs that have gotten me to this point.
As such I would like to say thank you. Thank you to Director of Operations. Thank you to Executive Chef. Thank you to Sous Chef A. And all the rest that have helped me to live my dream. Have helped me to discover exactly what my life’s purpose was and how best to fulfill it.
To say that I am excited is only half true. I say half because I am also half nervous. However, as I have every other challenge and opportunity in my life, I accept it graciously and plan to exceed the demands and expectations that everyone may have. Especially my own. Which in the past have always been my downfall. But not this time.
Junior Sous Chef. ME!
I would also like to thank by name my good friend Jeff MacKeigan. For he was the one that convinced me that it was okay to dream and that he would help me get in the door. Jeff, THANK YOU FOR BEING A TRUE FRIEND.
As well I would like to thank C who in her tireless support has always believed that both my passions would at some point lead me to this day and the future day when I own my own restaurant.
Life is a very interesting sandbox. For you can truly build a castle or get wiped out by the ocean. Let me just tell you that it is far more fun to build the sandcastle.
Og Mandino once said; “I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.”
Are you dreaming big and inspired?
A la prochaine
