Bushels & Feasts

After visiting this week on the podcast with Rina Thoma, author and chef, I came to realize how often fear holds us back from propelling ourselves forward. Even in the midst of grief and a mental health journey, she chose to pour her attention and focus into something that once brought her joy.  Rina did not allow the lack of expertise in cooking detour her from following her passion that brought her so much joy as well as giving purpose and passion to others.  Her story has impacted me in many different ways and continues to do so as I get to “peel the Rina onion” every time I get to spend time with her.  I can’t wait to hear how her story impacts you. 

We don’t need to let our lack of expertise hold us back. It’s unfortunate, but many people believe that they need a degree and years of experience before they can start doing something important or stepping into their calling. I know a lot of people who had a passion for something, but were afraid to get started because they didn’t feel they were an “expert”. I also know people who didn’t know anything but were somehow gutsy enough to get started. The people who didn’t know anything, but took action anyways, are now called experts. How interesting.

Let’s strive to be an amateur. Not everything you do has to be good, especially at first.
