Monumental PUSH

My determination, ambition, and drive have never been higher.  My fear runs wild.  Mostly of the unknown; of a lack of a "TRUE FOOLPROOF PLAN."  A lack of Perfection.  Of absolute certainty. 

I'm going to run a Marathon next year.  And find a new job.  Or Multiple jobs.  A new home.  An equal or improved life.  My launch has already started.

Chicago Marathon.  Boston Marathon.  New York Marathon.  Minneapolis?  I will train.  Change my body, change my health, endure the transformation.  own myself.  Over come injury.  Fear Doubt.  I will re-plant, nourish, and strengthen the self confidence I currently possess to grow back bigger, larger, healthier, and more durable to survive and conquer what lies ahead of me.


***The art of running.  Distances.  Marathons.  Life's Marathon.  In community.  In solitude.  In isolation.  In love.  In Honor and with honor.

2013

A year stuffed completely beyond the brim with ambition of astronomical heights.

I want to the get the most out of myself, my direct kitchen staff, and the serving staff I am charged with.  I want to bring out the best of their individual talents and abilities and utilize them in successful and creative ways.  I want them to be happy working hard.  I want them to feel validated in their efforts.  I want to foster determination and dedication.

If I can help to shape them and instruct, guide, and advise their decisions I think I will have accomplished something worthy of remembrance.  I will have made a worthwhile contribution to their lives, and my own.

I will be happy in the small, beautiful, simple parts of life; and will use those tiny pieces for fuel.  For defense.  For launch.

I will keep my mind, heart, and eyes open to spontaneous possibility, to ultimately become more positive, more realistic, to be more thoughtful, more creative, more opportunistic, and more transformative.  To be more versatile and useful.

I will spread joy and nurture the growth and development of happiness.
