Down the rabbit hole

For the last 5 weeks I feel like a little white rabbit has been calling me Maryann and threatening me with the power of a over bearing power hunger queen whom I am doomed to meet. Yes this may have something to do with the Muay Thai fight training I have been undergoing for the past five weeks and the reality that I will be stepping in the ring for the ultimate physical and mental test besides childbirth. But in truth it is more then just intense physical activity. It is the commitment to a mission and the clarity it has brought me in all aspects of my life that drives me to make this post. 

A constant through this training has been "then you do it" it reminds me of a truth Ben and I lived under for the last 12 years as small business owners. We have dedicated ourselves to a mission, a concept, an idea, a dream, a wish, we have written it down, set deadlines and seen each of these dreams through to the ring if you let me keep the metaphor going. Knowing full well in each of these ventures we have chosen the path with risk and hard work. 

And now I look toward my favorite business mission, the one started by Wildwood. To provided our customers with the best service and food we are capable of. It has become so very clear over the last couple of weeks that our core team has gown stronger and more capable and that makes me proud and ready to head into our launch party ready to rock. Here is the menu of what we will be serving and sampling at our launch party. Come, have a 'wild' time, and be a part of our mission.
