Multipassionality

All roads lead us to where we are supposed to be. I did it backwards but still made it.

I had a job right out of college, with a marketing firm, in New York City. The woman that recruited me said something that i have never forgotten. "Your liberal college has taught you how to grow and smell the flowers. Now I will teach you how to cut and sell them" I took this statement, folded it up in my pocket, and went full on into the business world. At the time I felt like i had put so much time into learning to smell the flowers. I couldn't wait to get out and sell them. I jumped head first into the business world. I created my first company Naturally LeLa right after graduation. I researched, practiced, listened to my inner light, and taught myself how to create natural bath and beauty products. I put them on the market and that company did really well for a very long time. Being the free-spirited Gemini that I am I wanted to elevate my alchemist soul and move into creating edible products in which could heal and nourish the soul. I wanted to know more about health and healing so I went back to college and studied Ayurveda medicine and then had the opportunity to travel through India. It was in India that i discovered a talent for writing. I authored a few books and many viral articles . I worked in Ayurvedic Kitchens in Ayurvedic healing centers and the kitchens of Ashrams. I had found the frequency of my vortex and i was on my way of standing in the frequency that was designed specifically for me in this life.

Allow yourself to learn from the masters

Although I was pushing myself through the experiences of being a chef I realized that natural talent and determination can only take someone so far. I realized that certain things were harder then they should have been. I realized that i didn't know it all. I realized that I had to go back to school. I remembered that I had to learn from masters how to grow and smell the flowers. I did this part of my life backwards. I knew how to cut and sell the flowers but I had lost touch of how to smell them. At 46 years old I have enrolled in culinary school. There is something quiet humbling about starting again. Accepting the challenge to admit that i dont know everything.

Im sorry for disappearing

I am sorry for disappearing. I am sorry that I have not been able to write. I have been in culinary school for almost six months now and recently got my first proper job as a proper chef. It has been long hours, hot, hard, and extremely rewarding. I graduate in six more months and what i have learned in this time is extremely valuable. And, i wrestle with how to bring all my talents into one fluent career choice. My God given gift of Alchemy, my love for Naturally LeLa beauty products, and my soul's calling for creating food that heals. The fact is that they flow seamlessly between each other, I've just been quiet about them all, because its a lot to put out there. For now I am in a place where I will continue to write on this blog when I can. I have started my restaurant reviews back up again and the rest will unfold as it is designed to do.

I just wanted to say "hi"

I just wanted to say "hi", I am still here, just around the corner, focusing on my next big thing. Tell me, write in the comments below, what are some random passions that you have found ways to bring together into one career choice? What is your Multipassionality? See you soon.

Tend to the soil and the flowers will grow. Pray in peace and the passions will flow
