January is over and a new month is starting to set it. I'm awfully excited for March and April but ever since I started this culture night every week I'm starting to enjoy each month. This month which was January was African night. The whole reason I decided to dive into different cultures was because of this great christian guy I met, and in honor of him I started with African first. :) I just wish we were still friends so he could see how much he inspired me to follow my dreams and not be scared. All of January I explored different spices and learned about a million different things I didn't even know were out there. Every Sunday my kitchen would smell amazing, and let me tell you... Africans know how to use their spices. Each meal was a different experience for me and something I never would have tried a couple months ago. I would have stared at it and said "Ew, gross. I'll stick to my normal stuff." but I ended up loving and enjoying every second of it. I'm still a hardcore Italian but I'm starting to appreciate different cultures now too.
So now when I graduate and the fall comes around, I'll be going to culinary arts school and I won't be scared because its gonna be a new experience, just like stepping forward and learning different types of food was. Thanks, I'm so thankful God brought you into my life for a season because it pushed me right along. :)
this is really cool Em! sounds like its been a really fantastic journey trying different things! Im sorry that person doesn't know the change that has taken place...but like you said, they were in your life for a season!
