Let's take a trip down memory lane
Back to the days I dived deep into the unknown
Opening my cafe
The Conscious Cafe
Those days now long in the past .. it has been 4 years (or more!)
Though the memories are rich ..
A wild journey of radical transformation, growth & challenge
From Corporate 20th Century Fox in Sydney
To opening "The Conscious Cafe" age 24
Working 16hr+ 7 days
Loving it all
Powered by SOURCE energy
The immensity of challenges and trials was beyond fathom
The exuberance of joy, laughter and tonnes of creativity was incomprehensible
I had never worked in the food/hospitality industry
But I had passion
This passion coupled with a huge amount of self-belief
That I can do/be/create anything
Allowed me to TRUST in myself
And trust the support of the cosmos
So I did .. I opened the doors to what was originally going to be a small cafe which ended in
a) full house, sometimes 15 people in a line and seating up to 80 people
b) 15 staff of all shapes and sizes! Front of house/kitchen/woofers/gardeners
c) A huge portion of our produce from our own organic farm
d) Ending in being hugely successful in all ways
It became a mecca for so many souls
A hub for the community
A celebration of healthy vibrant living
From professional football teams to dedicated yogis from UKI - The Conscious Cafe attracted it all
I am reflecting on this as I embark on the next journey to USA - somewhat of a snap decision
Why?
Because
I remember
That fear is living
That I choose to move in the DIRECTION of fear and the unknown
Because
On the other side of fear
Is
EXPANSION
EXPERIENCE
ALIVENESS
Make the decisions and take the leap
