My dear friends,

It’s been such a crazy month. It’s BEYOND crazy. My life has been twisted and turned upside down. I’ve been faced with a lot of challenges the past few weeks. My emotions have been through the wringer. About 2 months ago, I wrote about how a storm was brewing. How change was coming. Little did I know how much change God was about to throw at me. Through His grace I’ve been able to really dig deep, trust in the good Lord, and let go. And I’m not talking about just letting go, but REALLY letting go and let God being thankful for what I have in front of me. Being able to do this is where all my happiness and all my strength. I can’t predict the future, I can’t control everything that happens in my life, and I can’t be in a million places at once. But what I can do is be present, work hard, accept each opportunity, cut my losses, and spread the love I feel in my heart as much as I can.

Today, I sit here sad and happy all at the same time. Despite it all I feel full of life, appreciative of everything I’ve been given, and blessed to live another day. It’s not all great all the time, and yes I have days where I doubt my abilities. But thanks to the best friends and family a girl could ask for I can be vulnerable and afraid. They’re there to pick me right back up.

Remember that post I wrote last month about a whole lot of change (read it here)? Well it happened, friends. 2 weeks ago I left my day job (a job with coworkers I absolutely adore) and started working at my family bakery, Ninong’s.

The transition has been a bit of an adjustment to say the least. The past 2 weeks have been really tough for me to balance my life and work. But the dust is starting to settle (Thank the Lord!) and I’m starting to be able to take on more and more.

So here I am, sitting at the front of the bakery (which doesn’t happen often) getting my bearings in line to start running this place. It’s definitely going to be a challenge. But like
