“Charcuterie” is a collection of *cold*, cooked meats. Putting food on a board does not make it a ______ charcuterie board. You did not make a “breakfast charcuterie” or a “wing charcuterie”... it’s just food on a board. Stop playing. I’ve been silent about this long enough 😭😭

I truly have no desire to “work”. What I’m doing now doesn’t feel like work 85% of the time, and when it does, that’s when it’s time for me to slow down and re-visit my purpose for doing this. Money isn’t my focus, but I’m aligned so it flows. Liberation and fun are why I’m here.
