From Here On In

"There she goes... There she goes again..." 

Okay, so many of you close friends are probably wondering where I am and what I am doing, huh? Well, let me tell you. I am currently situated on an island in the middle of a kitchen writing on my blog. Oh, alright... The truthful answer is that yes, I am on an island, a little bit north, a little bit west, a little bit close to the ocean. You get the gist? Anyways...what am I doing? Well, funny you should ask, because these days not even my parents can answer that one! I have been spending the last two months in deep contemplation as to where the winds will blow me, and which of God's little sign posts I should follow. 

First and foremost you should know that I have applied to two different culinary schools, one close to home, one not-so-close to home, depending on your definition of "home". "Culinary school?" you ask. Well, yeah, didn't you know that I am a health-freak who loves to spend her free-time dancing to tunes in the kitchen and researching the healthier alternatives to practically ever recipe known to man?! Well, now you know. I like food. I like food so much, I want to make a career out of it. Obtaining a Red Seal is the primary focus of my ambition, but what I really want to do is spread the word of how important nutrition is. I have contemplated becoming a nutritionist or consultant, or maybe try my hand at horticulture, or I might even go into sustainability and crop management. Whatever I decide, I want it to be right for me when the time comes, so I hope you continue to ask me about it in years down the road, because who knows, maybe I'll have changed my mind again! 

So culinary applications are a thing, but have you heard I am also applying to take a year-long missions trip in Australia? This was a really sudden endeavor, but one that I have always had a hunch about, ever since I was a kid. I am drawn to proclaim the Lord's message and I also love meeting new people, so I thought, "Hey this could be for me!" I would absolutely love the opportunity to travel across the globe for a good cause and if I get accepted you might be hearing more from me, as I get quite excited about even the littlest things, like floss being on sale, for instance. 

Well, it's looking pretty interesting here folks. All I know for sure is that I still have a job and I still have God's love, so if all else fails I continue to work and pray for the future!
