Heeey all! Time for some "real" talk!
So, this year (well, the end of '23 to be exact), I had decided that I wanted to go full steam ahead with my baking. Think, maybe take some courses to further my skills, maybe open up a little bakery stand, etc, etc. BUT, the exact opposite happened. Life happened. And I am still trying to get back to my normal, whatever that entails. A little back story...so in November '23 we lost our little man Percy (tabby cat) to cancer & not even 2 months later we lost Georgia(calico) to cancer as well. G was my soul cat. She just got me. She, well, they both, took big pieces of my heart when we lost them. It's been 6 months now since Percy crossed that rainbow bridge & 4 or so since Georgia joined him. We have since opened our home & hearts to 2 little monsters, Elsie & Vinnie. They are healing us bit by bit. But I'd be lying if I said it's been easy. A lot of days have been a struggle, but I am trying my best.
I'm slowly trying to bake again, to find that joy & fulfillness in doing something I love. There's been a lot of banana bread & lemon strawberry bundt cakes. Simple, but delicious treats. I'll get there, hopefully sooner rather than later. But I know I can get back to where I once was with baking. And if you've made it this far in reading this, please know I'm thankful for you & I appreciate you. π₯°β€οΈ
