Do you ever have days that are just loaded with self doubt? They come on suddenly & knock you off of your feet. That little voice inside your head just won't stop yapping. "Who do you think you are trying to write a cookbook? You're no food expert or chef. So many people food bloggers know so much more than you. Getting incorporated! What for? Do you really think you'll actually make any profit!? Trying to trademark an idea - it's not going to sell!! BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...." So that was yesterday for me. I was feeling pretty crappy, not a nice word, but fitting. Then Mr. Postman rang my doorbell & handed me a couple of unexpected packages. I have to tell you - they turned my mood right around. The very talented & very busy(she's moving to a new state) Giao sent me this for my BDay. I loved everything!! I can't wait to take the handmade tote out around the city!! The artistically gifted Jes sent me this. Could she find a more perfect book for me? I can't wait to crack it open & test a recipe or two. Thank you Giao & Jes for making my day. And thank you all out there for your comments, suggestions, stories & friendship. There are days when I truly feel overwhelmed by what I'm trying to accomplish & think of giving up. You all keep me going! I'm so blessed to have so many smart & talented women in my life. I hope to meet all of you in person some day.
Dawn, What an absolutely GORGEOUS blog you have! And a fellow NYC blogger to boot! Hope you don't mind that I've blogrolled you so that I can come back again! Michele sent me this time, but next time I'm on my own. Have a great weekend and enjoy your tote!
Happy belated birthday Dawn. It's so good to get spoiled especially when you have those self doubting moments - I think we get them all so now and then :o(
Dawn, I hope you know you aren't alone with the doubts and feelings of 'who do I really think I am?' We all get them. I get them a lot, lately! You are magnificent and wondrous and are so wise to follow your dreams. Doubts exist but don't need to be real.
I'm glad you liked the belated gifts! I'm sorry I didn't get them to you sooner. I hope you had an awesome day. I owe you an email, just got internet time today!!!
First off, happy belated birthday. I do have many days of self-doubt and it sucks. I hope you continue on with the cookbook. It seems like such a great project and you get to try so many delicious foods in the process.
Sometimes, you have to silence the voice with perseverance and action.
