My Very Own Meetup Group – Cooking with Passion

I am taking baby steps towards my passion, since the layoff. The layoff was certainly a HUGE impact on my finances, well, not as big as a divorce, but I lost my stability. I panicked, I cried, but thanks to tons of people who care about me, and the people I care about, I regained my courage to fight through my fear and doubt and started the journey to pursue my passion – cooking.

Taking baby steps, I started this website, I created the Facebook Page, set up my account on Twitter, Instagram, Google +, working on my blogs, I even applied a few jobs at bakery and in the kitchen! I am also in the process of finding venues to host my Meetup groups and I know, you are scratching your head like, really? Senior Engineer to a baker or cook? Yep, after 20 years, my passion still lies in culinary, same as when my parents asked me what I wanted to do as I graduated highschool in China.

And today, I took another step towards my dream, I created my very first Meetup Group – Cooking with Passion.

It’s so strangely exciting and even a little terrifying! If you know me, I hate public speaking. And here I am, pushing my comfort zone and hosting my Meetup Group? All these effort is leading to my goal – hosting my cooking classes. I can’t wait to share my experience in the kitchen with everyone. It really excites me when I talk about food and cooking.

Anyway, today I am proud of myself, for taking steady steps towards my goal. It’s about progress!
