Staying on the Upside: “A Tiger Doesn’t Lose Sleep over the Opinion of Sheep.”

There are hungry people in the world who would swap places to enjoy my slightly savory vegetarian dish… for the SIXTH DAY in a row (okay, make that five… I skipped a day.) I will not get bothered that a carnivore, talented in culinary cuisine, finds it difficult to break away from traditional dishes (save the occasional Japanese-style ginger tofu tease) that require meat, fish or poultry out of the principle that they “won’t taste the same”. No, people, this is not the time to get angry… it’s the time to become INDEPENDENT, get my fledgling chef-ing ass off of Facebook and other social networks to GET THEE to a COOKBOOK.

I am thankful for my leftover blackbean/tofu lasagna from Thanksgiving & will not resent the chef I married for not supplying gourmet meals.

I still walk around, aimlessly, trying to get a handle on the confusion that is my life. A few hours ago though, I decided to not take the logical route of actually grasping something for clarity; In my experience, such efforts have been as effective as trying to keep a slippery fish in hand. Instead of going with facts and certainty, I guided myself towards intuition and faith– The latter need not be religious for others, but my spiritual self senses that someone or something is looking out for me… the Lord, the Universe, the Buddha guy whomever or whatever, I feel that my back is under surveillance and secured. With that said, I went into “mover-shaker” mode to get the ball rolling on a pet project of mine that will complement the concept of my fledgling muse, ChocolateGeisha Productions.
I discussed my idea with a valued confidante who was concerned about the logistics of not having enough supporting players in place to make this undertaking go smoothly. Her opinion seemed to slightly change when I compared the circumstances to a Kevin Costner flick and confidently assured her that if I start the process, “they will come.”
Call me Don Quixote, but I see the cavalry on the horizon.
