2016~
I had spent 20+ years being mostly a stay at home mom. I loved and felt privileged that I got to be with our children. 💗

That year our youngest graduated high school and would leave for college. 📚

The house was already getting quiet. Our oldest son was in Alabama attending college and was also in the Army. 🫡 One of our twin daughters was in her junior year of college. 🏫 Our other twin daughter was living with her boyfriend. 👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏽

Everything was happening all at the same time. 🌪️

Even though I have a smile in these pictures, I was so depressed 😔

I was doing my best to try and figure out who I was going to be.🤔

I had always had a small business “cooking” I wouldn’t call myself a chef at that time🤷🏽‍♀️

I took a job as a nutrition coordinator for a senior center. I met these two amazing women, Mini & Bernice. They taught me so much ❤️ How to age well, keep a positive outlook and that I would eventually find my way back to myself.

At that time it was hard for me to see beyond my circumstances. 🤦🏽‍♀️ My marriage was unsteady and we were trying to figure out our new path. ❤️‍🩹 Money was so tight we could barely breathe. 💰🚫

I felt so lost. 😔

What I knew is that I needed to trust my instincts. So, I started to learn new things and techniques. 🔪 📕

I read a book that taught me about “food as medicine” and decided that I would become a person chef to help make an impact on people’s lives. 👩🏽‍🍳

I had been catering small events while I was at home with my children, but this was different, this felt like my purpose. 💗

I kept taking steps towards where I wanted to be. I got one client, then another and then more. 🙌🏽

What I have learned is good things take time. 🐌

Looking back 10 years ago, so much has changed, Again!☺️

Life still isn’t perfect, yet I know it’s perfect for how life is going to unfold next. 👌🏽 This time I have a completely different mindset and trust that everything will work out how it’s supposed to be. 🙏🏽 I don’t get to control how, but I can choose how I respond to it. 😉

Still believing in more good things to come. 💛
