Hi Veronica
This is the first time that i visit your blog, in fact, i want to find a french bread recipe, having searching a few, your blog is drawn to my attention, esp this piece, though i don’t understand throughly, we have similar situation. I worked for my company almost five years, i though i take a great efford on working for 3 other duties. Compare other colleagues, they have promotion and increament, i got none return! i feel depressed.
i do hope i can run my own business since i’m interested on pastry work, but i think it’s impossible, first, i don’t have enough money, second, i’m too old to change my careea! I admire you and start your new journey. May god bless you always.

I’m new to your blog and I’m addicted. This post hits home as I am going through very similar feelings of fear. Lost a good job a few years ago and have been struggling to find myself still yet at the tender age of 39. I’m a single mom and the past few years have been a real kick in the arse. A few years back I was torn between choosing a career in cosmetology or pastry. I chose the beauty industry and still find myself addicted to pastry & everything about it. So here I am a hairstylist ready to enroll in pastry school and embark on what I hope will be my destiny. I am very scared but I set a goal and hope to accomplish it by the time I’m 45. Same fears of starting so late in the game, but what the heck we only live once.
I also swooned over your PH class post. You are very fortunate. I hate I missed his class at the French Pastry School. So close to home and I lost out. Oh well! Maybe there will be a next time.

Good luck to you always! I’m so glad to have found your blog.

Dear Veronica,
First, thank you for sharing such intimate feelings with us. I wish there were words I could say to make your journey less fearful but alas, the path of least resistance is sometimes shadowed by What ifs. It seems daunting but going through is always better than going around and that is what life has in store for you it would seem.

Like Trissa, I have been so inspired by your creativity and tenacity. Fear is sometimes hidden in the webs of imperfection. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Perhaps, the book you need is yet to be written by you:)

Enjoy your trip home. Treasure your open heart and the rest will follow…Louise

Veron,

Don’t you see, someone out there thinks you’ve got talent and nudging you in a different direction. wink wink. Isn’t it interesting how and why things happen – all for a reason.

I am in the same boat as you except you are getting a head start. Wouldn’t you rather be trying to figure out how many times a recipe can be multiplied rather than restoring a db in the middle of the night =).

You’ve got talent and I hope to see you go after your dream. What are you waiting for?
All the best for the new year!

Thanks for all the wonderful posts. Don’t have time to comment, but enjoy them nonetheless.

Thanks Claudia – risks are good. It’s what makes life interesting , that is what I am finding out.
Thanks Betty! Living for the future!
Thanks Dana! I found this the right time to try out different things, good for you to try that with your yoga.
Thanks Amanda! I am blessed with a wonderful HH who puts up with a lot of my hairbrain ideas. But that’s what husbands are for, right? Seriously, i am so thankful for someone who believes in me and thank you for everyone who reads my blog and my online friends for great support!
Thanks Caitlin! I hope so too, it’s always good to try!
