As I sit here in my living room, packing up the apartment Iβve called home for 3 years, I am very reflective.
Iβm the type of person who loves to take everything in. I am often thinking very deeply. I love full circle moments and things like divine timing.
I find myself so grateful. While there are plenty of things to complain about in 2026, I am eternally grateful. Iβm grateful for every hard thing Iβve experienced. Iβm grateful that I had this home to make into my sanctuary.
I have for sure pushed the limits on space and usage of this tiny kitchen. The things I made happen In the tiny space I leave behind, often astound me. My little kitchen island I bought, being the only thing that really made that space work.
This apartment was the beginning of a really important chapter in my life. When I moved in here I was panicked. Heartbroken and fleeing. This place became my sanctuary pretty quickly. I found real solitude within these 4 walls. I finally had a space to think. To breathe. I also found myself. And though I am still connecting again to my truest self, I am so grateful for this soft landing I had. My space, just mine. To decompress. To rest, really rest. To cry and fall apart, and gather myself up again.
To bake.
Not only did this place see real growth and success on a personal level, I also have far exceeded my expectations of what I could do in here business wise.
And now, I bid adieu to the βtiny kitchen in San Marcoβ, embarking on a bigger kitchen, bigger office, bigger ideas and most importantly, the biggest bakes. Transitioning into a commercial kitchen, and finally being able to expand my brand to coffee shops and restaurants in the ways that I wanted.
My last bake in here is on Friday. It will be remiss not to have some time to reflect on my first times I baked in this kitchen. It was so frustrating. But now, I will sort of miss it. βI bake everything myself, in my tiny kitchen in San Marcoβ really added a nice sound to my spiel.
But, I close this chapter of my life, and my business with great excitement for what the future has in store.
Keep following along, and Iβm glad youβre here.
Iβm just getting started.
