What a year and wild ride it’s been ... May 20th marks one year since I reach full time at the university, benefits, union and job security. I be lying if I said I knew even more and better things were coming. After putting the work in at two sometimes three jobs I paid off my debt, got my own place, a new reliable car, and a full time position we’re i didn’t have to work extra jobs. Man I could have been happy there and I was, but I didn’t stop. I took training and classes since May of last year, and in less than a year worked my way into a promotion. Better hour, weekends off, and opportunities to learn more and I’m starting to excel in that too. Creating food I never seen or heard of and making it not only taste but look good as well. That I’m proud of and I can’t wait to learn more.
Just one of my creations, coconut macaroon cheese cake
To add to what feels like a year to remember, today I had the pleasure of meeting a man who has influenced me in so many ways since I was a kid. At 8 the neighbor kid and I would run and jump around the house like the Rockers. In my early teen years I started growing my hair out, dancing around the house to the song “Sexy Boy”, and through in random crotch chops and people and telling them to “suck it”. The rebellious stages starting, by the time I hit 20 I drove head first into the drugs and alcohol and getting my own demons. And into my 30’s I finally bet those demon and landed here now where I am rapidly rising in my life and career. The influences Shawn Michaels made on me weren’t always good, but it’s about the final product right. This past Halloween I even dress as HBK and rocked it. From 8 to 38 he’s was a big influence and today I got to thank him for all of it. Something I never thought I would ever have the chance to do. And yes I did it in costume 🤣
I couldn’t have imagined this last year going this way, and what a way to end it. Lucky for me I still have plenty of goals yet and more I want to achieve, so the future is still bright. What a wild ride so far tho
