Just a sidestep?

As I mentioned in my last post, I have been traveling on my road to happiness. I think I should clarify that I am, by nature, a very happy person. I am traveling my road exploring where my passions will lead me. Besides my passion for my family and friends, I have 2 great passions in life: traveling and food! I have extensive experience in the food service industry and education in the travel industry.

In my last post, I mentioned that I was wondering if my road is leading me into the catering business, which I am very good at and love doing. I started pursuing the possibilities and I got shut down fairly quickly. The little place in my home town was going to cost so much money to meet health codes. I would need to work from my home. The problem is that in the state of Missouri, you must have a kitchen that is not used by a household and must have a closing door to separate it from the rest of the home. Again, the cost would be too much to build a room that would meet code. Therefore, I am considering that maybe this was just a sidestep that I needed to explore before traveling on.

My travel passion seems to be the road I should be traveling. Sure, the travel industry is down right now but I have made some good contacts, I can work from my home, I can set my own schedule, it is not physically demanding on my body; so my fibromyalgia is better controlled, I am partnered with my awesome friend Denise and some pretty talented travel experts, and I am doing something that is fulfilling my need for personal happiness. I think I will travel along and see where it might take me.

I really would like for this to work! I could work in the travel hospitality industry forever!
