Still definitely between ground and growth.
My one year anniversary of starting KFD has come and gone. I didn’t know how to celebrate.
Often when my emotions take over, I tend to just stay quiet about things. So I did just that. My husband and I celebrated with a toast and a grateful heart.
I definitely cannot stay quiet about how very thankful, and honored, I feel to be baking for each of you.
I’ve cried. I’ve laughed. I’ve allowed every emotion of mine to be felt.
And so on what feels like on a whim, I landed here on this platform with no intention of eyes, or growth, or influence.
Baked good by baked good, a little community of KFD was built. One that internally I don’t feel I deserve but in turn has saved me from completely losing myself from the most soul crushing losses that 2021 has brought to my family and I.
I found instant solidarity baking for all your special days.
Instagram, YOU reading this and all the countless doors that have so effortlessly opened me have changed shapes for me a million moons over since starting a year ago. And yet it still somehow gives more than it takes.
I am in this constant season of Remaining wildly, endlessly, grateful for the experience of it all.
May a small space I hold here always re route to no one but yourself. Be loved. Be grateful. And know that you have made KFD what it is today.
Power in community. Power in LOVE. Power in YOU. Gave me power in ME.
Happy one year anniversary to Knead for Dough.
Always. I’m all ways.
Your baker,
Julia 🙏🏽🧡
