Life has a funny way (file under Kismet, Karma and True to You)

My friends I hope this finds you truly inspired. Ready for what you have in store for yourself. Have you been thinking about your dreams? Where you want to go? How you might get there? I sure have, I spend every minute, pondering what the next step is while always making sure I pay attention to the current one (you know, left foot, right foot thing) so that I don’t fall flat on my face.

Making the move to The Club is the best move I have ever made in my life. It was an informed decision brought on by a conversation I had with a friend. A friend who was caring enough to ask exactly what I hoped to achieve. After listening to what I wanted he said that I should go this route. And, as is often the case, I listen to those I know to be able to give me informed advice.

Today my head was spinning. I have so much going on. Seemingly all at once. But when I stop to consider it for a moment I realize that what is going on today is the result of hard work, sacrifice, perseverance, character and drive. It is the result of people having patience, caring, support and understanding for me. I mean truly for me, who I am and what I hope to achieve in my life. I thank each and every one of you for having the bravery to be my friends and confidants. I assure you, the best is yet to come.

Life has a funny way of having things creep up on you that you didn’t quite expect. Or maybe you did but you couldn’t have conceived of it in a meaningful way in order to express it to the world. I have been noticing that the more I do each day in the pursuit of my dreams the more the world opens up to me. It is as if a Karmic force is bringing all kinds of goodness to me which I in turn repay to the universe or Karmic force to the best of my abilities.

I have a lot going through my mind right now. I’m in the present, considering both the past and the future. Knowing that I have come so far yet have so much further to go. Yet I accept that universal truth as a beautiful understanding between me and whatever maker is out there.

At work today I had to prepare more of the Fish Bistro (Coconut Tilapia with Spicy Apricot Marmalade). That means that since Thursday we have gone through forty or fifty pounds that amounts to about one hundred or so portions. I could not be more thrilled.

Tomorrows Pizza is a Pesto Shrimp while the pasta is a Whole Wheat Penne with Spinach, Shallot and Mushroom in a lemon scented cream sauce.

The best is yet to come my friends. My culinary journey began a while back but I feel that I am really beginning to find my stride. Or at least the beginning of one. And that excites me. It makes me feel whole. It makes me proud that I am a part of many peoples days in a meaningful way and I am richer for it.

What about you? What’s your dream? How can I help you get there? Are you ready? I am.

Napoleon Bonaparte once said; “Those who have changed the universe have never done it by changing officials, but always by inspiring the people.”

Are you dreaming big and inspired?

A la prochaine
