Stepping Out

One day last year, I was listening to the radio station and I heard that this radio station was having a Cupcake War of their own.  I stepped out of my comfort zone and went against my "self-doubt" talk and as soon as I got home, I logged onto their website, submitted my information and a day or so after, I received a phone call with the time and day.  

That was my first try and little did I know I was going against people who had their own storefronts and had been baking for as long as I been on this earth.  These strangers tasted my cupcakes and  I moved onto the finals.  Although I didn't win in the finals, I still won because I took a chance.

Now here I am a year later, not only am I waiting for them to make the Cupcake War announcement on the radio but I'm getting ready to answer these questions for a baking contest that is televised.  I have so many emotions running through me but I well not let the negative ones overpower the positive.

By entering this contest, I am truly stepping out.  Stepping out on faith and stepping waaaay out of my comfort zone.  If it is meant for me, then victory shall be mine.  Even if it's not meant for me, I can cross this off my bucket list and try again next year.
