Sowing the seed.

So, this is my first post and possibly not one that will ever reach the world wide web. As someone who dislikes writing, this exercise may seem a little odd but I have been encouraged to explore this medium after sharing the seed of an idea when asked "Do you have a project idea?"

I have enjoyed eating for as long as I remember, and for the last 10 years I have developed my business to specialise in working with food and drink businesses. I wish I could take credit for taking a decision to both focus on one sector, and one that I already have an interest in, but in truth, it just happened organically - a chance opportunity, and one thing leading to another. But, as someone who gets easily bored, I've realised that something has kept my interest maintained the whole time - and quite simply that is my love of food.

However, in recent years I have had itchy feet, a sense of wanting to pursue something new, looking for purpose, to create something, or wanting to connect with new people, but I haven't know exactly what this looks like.

But as I continue to immerse myself in the food world, I can't help thinking that perhaps that 'thing' I'm looking for might be closer than I think. Maybe not a new career or vocation, but something that feeds and nourishes me - in a holistic way. And so that is what has led me here. Finally acknowledging the fact, that every time I read or hear about a story, enterprise or idea where food is used as a tool for positive change or impact, I feel inspired.

So, I have created this 'blog' called Food Doing Good as a way to record and reflect on all the projects I learn about. It's intended to be a tool for self exploration but also I hope it will provide me with the reason to seek out more. And who knows, what I might discover along the way. At this point, there is no end goal, just to embark on the journey and enjoy the ride.
