Reflections in the grocery store bathroom mirror..

Photos taken 5+ years apart in the same store I worked in, and all the life lived between then & now - although the heart always stays the same. I'm just grateful

Then & now 🥹🛒🔪 so much life lived since the first picture was taken. I was 19 or 20, feeling for the first time the pride of making food for others. The difference love & intention make - it can be tasted. I worked in a local grocery store’s pizza department, and every day I was there I carried the experience as if I was soaking up the education of a Michelin star, lol. Even though I was making pizza, one of the most casual foods in the world, I gave it everything. It all means something to me. Treating the “small things” with integrity and respect and allowing lessons to open the mind even further. I’m now on the brink of being 26, and in the picture taken on Thursday night, I find myself back in the area I grew up in, in the same store. For how long, I’m not sure, but that’s the joy of life; can be forever, can be until next November. I’ve learned to let go (sorta), but in a way that lets life surprise us. LET IT! Some of your biggest dreams can come true in the places you least expect them to
