I love old recipe books, with the infusion of smells made by the ingredients splashed on the pages, the yellowed edges, trying to read around the vanilla stain to decide if it’s one or two teaspoons, and how words like 'lard' and 'sugar' were used with such abandon. 

This mindset often takes center stage through vision boards, five-year plans, and lofty goals. And while those have their place, we risk losing sight of the moments that make those dreams possible. It's the everyday actions we sometimes overlook that pave the way for success. In our pursuit of achievement, we sometimes forget to prepare for the moment it finally comes.
