A new year and a fresh start…

Happy New Year friends!!  I hope you had a lovely and peaceful holiday break. It’s been a little quiet around here lately. Ordinarily I’d be right back into the swing of things by now but I’ve had a lot on my plate.  This means the blog had to be put on the back-burner for a moment.

When I first started my blog I thought it would be a fun way to document my veggie journey and a nice space to store all the yummy plant-based dishes I was creating.  I set myself a goal to post every week no matter what.  Prior to this I had zero social media presence and minimal interest in sharing myself with strangers in that way.  I was really rubbish at all the back end stuff (let’s be honest, I still am lol) and I had a lot of people around me who would roll their eyes and tell me I was wasting my time.

But over time I became more confident in my ability to create.  I began to see that I had something of value to contribute to this amazing veggie community.  That actually, I’d like to turn this hobby into a career.

There’s been so much going on for me over the last 12 months.  There was the end of a very loooong term relationship, I moved into my own house and am navigating shared custody of a tweenager.  It’s been tricky and scary and at times exhausting but I know deep down it was the right move for me and the kid.

Through it all my desire to really make a go of this foodie biz has only intensified.  I want to be a boss and make the kid proud.  It’s not going to be easy, but anything truly worth it never is.  I’ve got so much cooking both in my kitchen and in my head and it all starts now.  I’d love for you to come along for the ride this new year. Make sure you follow me on Instagram and Pinerest or you can subscribe to the blog so you never miss a post.  Bring it on 2020!  xx
