New adventures

Am I changing course?

I always had my mind set on only being on stage and that would be my job. But the older I get, the more realistic I have to be. It's hard, fulfilling your dream. My heart is still with the stage, that will probably never change, but I got a new exciting turn ahead of me.

Did I ever tell you that I'm a little.. obsessed with food? I know, I know, all the time. I found out that I have two passions - one being singing on stage and entertaining people, the other being creating food and telling people about why it's good for you and what delicious things you can use to treat your body in a good way. I took both passions in my hands and merged them together into one big and new adventure!

Me and my sister started a website a while ago with some recipes and a little info about food. This never really got of the ground as we didn't have a solid plan. But somehow our interests got spiked again and we both wanted a new concept to work with.
I've been changing my diet since December 2012. I was always very unhappy with who I was. I hated myself for being weak, always eating junk, always having excuses, not being true to who I was. I wasn't happy with whom I was becoming to say the least.

The first step to self improvement was my diet. I thought this was the root of my problems, turns out it was the outcome of what was actually hiding beneath the surface.
To keep a long story short, when I finally gave in to feeding my body proper foods I found the strength I was looking for all along.

A simple, healthy diet helped me becoming more confident about myself, gave me more energy to actually work hard and made it possible for me to feel good about myself and to accept and explore who I am.

I want others to have the same tools as me. I want people to know the value of good food!
So we've decided to go in that direction, educate those who want to learn about why we eat certain types of food, what food does to your body, how your physical and mental health can benefit from what you put into your system!
And the really fun part is that we're also going to make cooking video's! Which to me sounds like performing.

So I am very happy indeed about this new thing in my life! We'll see where it takes us. If I can only help the customers of the organic shop where I work, I'm already satisfied. As long as I can share and make people enthusiastic I'm ok :)

This turned out to be quite a long post after all, oops..

Thank you very very much for visiting my corner of the internet! Hope to see you here again!

Love,
