Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean you're wrong.
Stand up for what you believe in even if it causes waves.
Cooking brings me so much joy. I love everything, down to the execution of the plate to picking out fresh ingredients at the market. It makes me deeply grateful and aware of where our food comes from and how feeding people is another way of saying, "I love you."
No cheating, clean up your self-induced fear act, and replace it with what you love.
Happiness is a state a mind, not a dress size.
Take your time, teach what you love, be unabashedly you, and try not to compare yourself to someone who's been teaching longer than you.
