A loss for words

I am pretty much at a loss for words of the gratitude I have felt since starting this business, I am beyond grateful to have your support. Words escape me at how to articulate my gratitude to each of you, but it is there.

I never dreamed that I would start a business, be on tv, be in the paper, have fans, become a teacher to the best students ever, be able to enjoy my passion for baking again after losing my complete identity about 3 1/2 years ago.

I had no direction, I had worked myself into the ground, I had burned out. I had no clue what was next for me. I only knew that I had to learn how to take things one step at a time, learn from my mistakes, take risks, suffer losses again and again. I have lost $, time, people, direction, focus. What keeps me going is sugar. Yep, sugar and carbs. The sweeter the better, the more bread, the better, the pretzels. the pizza, the chocolate….oh my. I cannot let myself get to that place again. I have truly found happiness and I know what it takes to work hard, take breaks, make time for myself, my family and my friends and to appreciate life for what it is.

I am learning more and more about myself, my passion, my impact that I have in this world, I have learned that dreaming is ok, but doing is sooo much more rewarding. I am learning how to embrace the right people in my life. I am learning to accept my faults and stand tall and be proud. I am not one that likes to be boastful, but I have worked extremely hard to get where I am in my life and in my career. I am extremely grateful and humbled by your support!

The sky is the limit and I am reaching as high as I can go. I am not stopping anytime soon. I have some amazing things on the horizon and I cannot wait to continue this roller coaster ride that is a solo entrepreneur.

I choose happiness, endless desserts, and taking in more moments every day. I promise you it is life changing.

I wish you the best week ever!! I hope to see you soon!!

xoxo

Annie
