I am so grateful.
The Protein Bakery had such growth this year. We doubled our office space, perfected all of our recipes to be more nutritious than ever, added new flavors, created a media test kitchen to explore new protein-packed ideas. Opening the door to collaborate with other creatives in the industry.
With all of that expansion, I want to make sure I keep the business on track, so that we can sail smartly into the next five years (and beyond).
I'm also taking stock personally. No matter how busy I am at work, I need my friends and family. Many are not in the city. So I'm going to make time for them. Those one-on-one moments matter to me.
Also, I want to take time away from the bakery in order to gain a better perspective. I thrive on inspiration in the smallest details. And I need new details. My passion needs refueling. In an age where you can be anywhere in under a minute online, I'm making the personal choice to actually connect more in person. I know the experience of opening my eyes to new worlds will affect the bakery in many ways. The possibilities seem endless. I look forward to all the surprises. They do say life is full of 'em.
So here's to you finding great adventures in your own life and bringing them to the forefront. May the new year inspire you to focus on what makes you happy. It sure beats losing track of time only to be filled with regret, right?
Who knows, maybe you and I will cross paths as we journey forward. I hope so.
