energy.

I put positive energy into what I make.

One of the rewarding things about making food is the enjoyment someone else gets from it.

When I know my positive energy is being received, I feel satisfied.

Executive Chef Brent Martin of the Hyatt Hotel Downtown San Diego told us yesterday that cooking is like a drug, once you feel the accomplishment of knowing you have fed a group of people you can't stop. Seeing their reaction, having them read your menu and thank you is something that gets into your veins. How inspiring.

It is quite beautiful to see the passion of a chef.

disappointed.

Sometimes I don't think I am strong enough to handle my emotions. 

vulnerable.

although i trust you,
i can't hide the truth of being afraid.

fragile in every sense of the word,
while every moment i spend i find myself more vulnerable.

if one day i am able to find the words,
or allow myself to fall,

i know it will be worth it.

Some things I'd like to do this summer:

- Go to the fair.

- Ride in a hot air balloon.

- Eat out at new restaurants.

- Plan a road trip, using maps.

- Go to concerts.

- Visit the zoo, animal park, Sea World and the aquarium.

- Go to Six Flags.

- Plan a camping trip and admire the stars.

- Have a picnic on the beach.

kindness.

is it possible to be too kind? would something like that make someone run away?

I am starting to wonder..
