The Organic Personal Chef Year 2020

OUR REALITY THAT YEAR

2020 didn’t announce itself.

There was no final job circled on the calendar. No last client speech. No dramatic decision. The work simply whispered its departure — satisfied, complete, and ready to be released.

By then, the understanding was clear: finishing well is part of doing something well. The ride didn’t need to be repeated exactly. It needed to be honored and extended in new ways. The work hadn’t taken anything — it had given a way of seeing the world that didn’t go away.

Intuition had one last lesson. The first uneasy feeling was noted. The second time, doubt was ignored. Then came the serious loss — not catastrophic, but clarifying. That closed the loop for good. Instinct was no longer second-guessed. It was respected and validated with systems. Judgment and structure finally stood side by side.

The days themselves were quietly perfect.

There was a great, unplanned conversation with a client about his childhood.
Parking appeared right up front.
The store run was in and out in record time.

A full week ran exactly as planned. A booked month didn’t feel heavy. The work still worked, and that was the point. Nothing was broken. Nothing was pushing you out.

Which made the ending feel right.

There was no sense of loss. No nostalgia that hurt. Just satisfaction. Like standing up from a long meal you enjoyed all the way through. Full, not tired. Content, not relieved.

You stopped wishing it had lasted forever and started being grateful it lasted exactly as long as it did.

Now, Chef Vanda’s energy belongs fully to Raw and Well — healing naturally. The dogs get their share too. The chapter closed without resistance because it had already given everything it was meant to give.

The work didn’t end because it failed.

It ended because it finished.
