My very first blog post.  I'm not quite sure why I feel compelled to have a blog except that I think it might be a way for me to work through a very complicated time in my life.  I don't think anyone will read this, which is fine.  I do think it will be a way for me to organize a lot of chaos in my head.

This blog will be my therapy and a way to be able to move forward after the collapse of The Elements Food Group, my restaurant, cafe and catering company.  I don't think I've fully dealt with this loss.  But I don't want this blog to be about the difficulties of my bankruptcy or  financial struggles.  I want this to be a very positive way for me to refocus myself.    

"What do I want to do now?" will be what this blog is about.   This is finally the time to do those things (write a cookbook, write a novel, explore hosting a TV cooking / lifestyle show, start a blog, create a garden--and this list will grow!) that I have been putting off for so long.  What I hope this blog does is to motivate me to start these projects because  I will have an obligation to present my progress.  I  now have to go and plan what I want to bring next.  I'm already getting excited and nervous thinking about what to present first and can see this could be a lot of fun!  Maybe the next post will be the more complete list of "What do I do now?"   ...hmm...well, until very soon.
