I would like to take a moment and express how insanely thankful I am, for just about everything. It seems like only yesterday that, with much encouragement from my wonderful family and friends, I decided to take the plunge and start Cupcake et Macaron, and I'm still in awe of just how far it has come in, let's admit it, such a short amount of time. I have all of you to thank for that.
A friend and amazing photographer (one of the "heureuses rencontres" I have made throughout this lovely whirlwind of a journey) wrote a thought provoking article about whether --and why-- one should turn one's hobby into a business. This is one particular conversation I have had repeatedly in my head, and I always come to the same conclusion.
Passion.
Passion doesn't just mean *really* loving something; although love is certainly an essential part of it. No. Passion is when you're never as free as when you're doing whatever it is you're passionate about. It's sustained obsession. It's a vital need, an itch that must constantly be scratched. It's breathing better because you know THIS is what you do for a living. This is your project; your seedling, and you can't imagine yourself doing anything else. Passion is when the hardships, the anxiety and the dark moments of self-doubt are nothing compared to the void of not having it in your life.
It's commitment. It's being in love, and saying I do.
It's breathtakingly wonderful.
Thank you for making my world a little bit sweeter every day.
