When I arrived at Country Road I was terrified. Full of guilt, shame, and resentment. In other words I had nothing of value left to offer those around me.
I was welcomed with open arms and I slowly began the healing process.
Now, as the Executive Chef I have been blessed with the opportunity to literally serve and feed people who are just like I was when I first got here! Now, I have plenty of love, and light, (and food) to share with those around me! For this, I will forever be grateful.
