1 yr ago today I moved to sydney, I said bye to fear & made the decision to choose myself, choose my life & choose to grow. 
But as I reflect now, given that we are presented with an opportunity to sit back and truly take time with no outside stimulation, to go inwardly, I think how far I have come, how much I have achieved, even if it’s a small gain, it’s a big win and truly being proud of the progress. 
A friend asked me today 
What is my highlight? 
1. Getting to drive a tractor on the iconic bondi beach at 1am. 2. My first Sash breakfast, yes partying is a highlight as the energy in the room that morning was magnetic. 3. And probably my favourite highlight even though it was tough, scary and my self doubt was kicking into overdrive, which also is most proudest moment was, getting to work my first catering job at a pilates retreat. This was the beginning of my food career & so grateful to those people who believed in me. Which brings me to my 4th, catering Christopher Esbar’s Christmas boat party sailing around the harbour. I was nervous as fuck, thinking how am I going to pull this off. I’m a one woman show, cooking for 5 hours straight, doing a grazing table, canapés and mains, but I just kept reminding myself, Lucy, fake it until you make it. You are capable. But that moment when I served my last dish, gnocchi in a burnt butter sage sauce (literally rolling out dough in a small space I couldn’t take two steps in) I actually took a look at myself in the oven reflection & thought. Fuck yes. You did it. *kisses shoulder 
What I have learnt? 
I’ve learnt more about myself in the last year, trusted & believed in myself more than I ever have & truly take one bite at a time. 
What am i looking forward to? If I can move interstate through a pandemic, go through two breakups, change of career, make new friends & feel happier & more sure that where I am right now is where I am meant to be, well I’m fucking excited to see what is next to come. Life only gets better and better if you allow it. I am grateful for the friends & connections I have made. Life is about taking yourself out of your comfort zone, that’s truly where life begins.
