Its 9 PM, Sunday evening. In assessing the last few days, it is my conclusion - people who are in the hospitality industry are creative, industrious, hard working individuals and most are insane. This includes myself... what was I thinking tackling a 600 person catering job...without my own kitchen or staff. Somehow, it all came together and was successful. Partly, in my arrogance, I assumed because I was this now famous culinary icon fresh from a stint in New York City...this somehow gives more credibility to my work ethic than in previous years. The truth is my credibility is not just manufactured by geography, education or work experience. It is built from within...that knowledge that I can do something and it be successful. And, knowing what others think of me doesnt have that stronghold on me it once did. Having a clear mind devoid of negative chatter helps me move forward. Looking at todays event from the closing angle causes me to evaluate. There may not be another opportunity of this proportion but, yet again it was a learning experience. From where does my joy come? How does that joy guide my actions, words or attitude? It is my desire to reflect a certain peace that passes all understanding. That same peace can carry me through any situation. I may never own my own little bistro. And, I may decide cooking really isnt the passion groove Im suppose to focus on. What I do know... is actually very little compared to the divine mystery of my life. Today is coming to a close. It doesnt get a repeat like those favorite episodes we watch over and over AND OVER again. Im okay with this...afterall, tomorrow, if permitted, is a new opportunity!
