 Yes, it sounds like cliché, "Life is about the journey, not the destination", but the truth is that the destination is never guaranteed. I remember what was going through my mind when I stepped into the Craftsy studio and we were about to start filming. I had that slip second thought, "You can run away!". No, I won't. I've planned, rehearsed, prepared, and work hard, so rather than running away, I'm going to enjoy every moment of this. And so I did.
Oh, and the story of the flying pig: Cincinnati was known as "Porkopolis" because of its strong pork processing industry. Every year it hosts the "Flying pig marathon". Sculptures of flying pigs decorate the city. Coincidence or fate, I love piglets! So Mr. Sugar Realm one day surprised me with a replica of a flying pig sculpture, "For the day you own your shop", he said. As for now, it decorates my studio, and is by far my favorite feature there, because it is reminder of enjoying every moment, like the one we had when he have me my own flying pig. --- Sí, suena cliché, "La vida se trata del viaje, no del destino", pero la verdad es que el destino nunca está garantizado. Recuerdo lo que pasaba por mi mente cuando entré en el estudio de Craftsy y estábamos a punto de comenzar a filmar. Tuve un pensamiento rápido, "¡Puedes huir!". No, no lo haré. Planeé, ensayé, preparé y trabajé duro, así que en lugar de huir, voy a disfrutar cada momento de esta experiencia. Y así lo hice. Ah, y la historia del cerdo volador: Cincinnati era conocida como "Porkopolis" debido a su fuerte industria de procesamiento de carne de cerdo. Cada año organiza el "Maratón del cerdo volador". Esculturas de cerdos voladores decoran la ciudad. Coincidencia o destino, ¡A mí me encantan los cerditos! Así que el Sr. Sugar Realm un día me sorprendió con una réplica de una escultura de cerdito volador, "Para el día que seas dueña de tu tienda", dijo. Por ahora, decora mi estudio y es mi cosa favorita allí, porque es un recordatorio de disfrutar cada momento, como el que tuvimos cuando recibí mi propio cerdito volador. |
