For the past few weeks I have been bemoaning the fact that certain things in my life are causing me to feel as if I am treading water. I don’t like this feeling. Not one bit. I am someone who takes action when things are not necessarily going the right way. I have battled with myself as to whether I should go down to NYC (for various reasons) or whether I should find somewhere here that I can grow and expand.
As I said in a previous entry a few weeks back. I feel it would be premature to go to NYC. However, I do believe that I have isolated a few places here that would be ideal for me and I am going after them.
Today I found one that I was really interested in. I toiled with myself (fear causing me to second guess myself) but finally I picked up the phone and dialed the ten numbers. It is an interesting restaurant with some great food and a Chef that I feel can help me grow and develop.
I am meeting with that Chef on Wednesday after work. I am nervous. Excited. And ready to take on more in my life. Not only that but I know that I am a worthy and great, hard working addition to any kitchen.
However, resultant from this I have now started doing the same thing that I have done with NYC. That being, isolating then ten or twelve places that I would like to work. AND, as the entry title says, words are not enough. ACTION must be taken. So I have crafted my letter. Reworked my resume. And I am putting myself out there to the universe.
Actions do speak louder than words. And I am taking action to ensure my continued growth, success and ability to do more than just treat water. It was not easy to formulate all this in my mind. But, you know what they say; nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I have four or five more posts that I want to work on but I also am working on our wedding invitation as well as putting together my first recipe book. I touched on that in my last post. I owe you another post on this subject but first need to get the whole book together.
As well, I have been in touch with an old friend from high school, L, who has asked me to form an anniversary menu for her and her husband. It is a challenge I accepted and will deliver to her (and you) shortly.
Henry David Thoreau once wrote; “Behave so the aroma of your actions may enhance the general sweetness of the atmosphere.”
Are you dreaming big and inspired?
A la prochaine
