Dreams

jachancellor2 Comments

So I did a thing…

I applied and went to open casting for Masterchef this past Saturday in Atlanta. This has been a dream of mine for the past ten years. I applied and tried.

It was exciting, nerve wracking, and completely out of my comfort zone.

I made a Stacked Tuna Poke’. I will post the recipe later this week…but I did it. I signed up and tried. I didn’t make it past the first interview round but the two tasting chefs liked my dish, tasted it twice and even videotaped it. So there is that.

Lesson learned is simply go for it…if you don’t try you won’t succeed. Pretty simple I know but so worth it.

Go for your dreams…ya never know until you try.

Blessings my friends.

soul on fire

Some precious friends are jumping into their future dreams this week (month) with their souls on fire!  One of them posted this on their Facebook page.  I had to steal it.  Excited for her, and I hope to continue to be an encouragement to her and her dream.

Who do you encourage?

Blessings.

  • Ride in a Hot Air Balloon
  • Learn to speak German (take a class)

  • Participate in a Disney 1/2 marathon (walking)
  • Fit into a size 10-12
  • Crochet or knit a blanket

  • Learn more than 6 words in sign language

Updated list for now anyway.   What is on your list?

Blessings.
