So what the actual heck happened to 2017? To my ambitions to keep talking about food
and the glorious places I’ve visited? To
build my profile and share my love of all things edible? Life!
Life happened and last year was one of the hardest, I have ever had (Note
– this isn’t a challenge to the universe).
I left a role I adored as the company was taken over, the culture
changed immeasurably and I was left with a boss who stood for everything I
despised. I was hit with a massive tax
bill due to sheer ignorance and my neighbors in Portugal are suing me as they
fancy using my private terrace. Enough to
exhausted and crush anyone – even a survivor like me.
And annoyingly – as my best friend – pointed out, the best possible
learning experience I could have. Yes,
Learning hurts – in fact, learning sucks but weirdly, I feel stronger as I face
the next chapter of my life. I’ve got a
new exciting terrifying role which I know will challenge me and someone who I’m
trying to figure out. Both should be
interesting – arguably the boy might be the bit that scares me the most.
I don’t trust happy! There, I’ve
said it. I’m waiting for the light at
the end of the tunnel to be a freight train.
Do I know what’s coming next? No
but I think its about time I came out of hibernation and said, right lets do
this!
