Have you ever made a radical decision? Done something you never thought you’d do? Well, I have, and although it was a couple years ago I still think of the experience quite often.
If you are new to this blog, you may not know it but I LOVE to cook. It’s truly one of my biggest passions in life. To bring joy to someone through my food is something I just can’t explain. Hearing my husband sigh and moan after taking a bite of my pork roast makes me grin from ear to ear and fills my heart with such warmth.
In fact, I love it so much that someday I hope to be in the restaurant business, more so I’d love to OWN my own place.
So 2 years ago, I tried out for Master Chef. Yup, the TV show on Fox…and it was the scariest and most exciting thing that ever has happened to me minus child birth. You can read about my experience HERE. https://movinitwithmichelle.com/2014/10/13/my-masterchef-open-call-experience/ You can see my audition dish as my new cover photo!
I think it was such a big deal, because I hadn’t ever stepped outside of my comfort zone like that before and just WENT FOR IT. As I was watching it last night on TV, I couldn’t help and smile through my tears. While of course I didn’t make it to the show, I knew truly how these contestants were feeling.
I hope to make that jump again one day, in regards to a career move. I am waiting until my husband returns from his deployment, but let me tell you…when he does, it’s ON!
I’m linking up with Deb from http://debruns.com/wednesday-word/ for her Wednesday Word linkup. You guessed it, today’s word is Radical.
Have you every made a radical choice or decision? Please share your story!
Cheers!

In a way, yes…other times it maddens me because I can’t seem to break free from my current ‘career’ because I have a family to provide for, ya know?
