Simple questions and honest answers

Your probably wondering how I got the idea to open my bakery. It was simple really. My friend Jen and I were sitting outside the shoe store one day, and she randomly asked " If you could do anything for a job, your dream job, what would it be?" I sat in wonderment for probably about 10 seconds then blurted out "I would own a bakery!" And you know what she said next? She looked at me with the most serious look on her face, like that of an elder ready to tell you the secret to life, and she said so cool and calm " then do it Ashley, open a bakery." I looked at her and laughed, and said "Well Jen you don't just open a business on a whim because it is your dream" and as calmly as before, she said " yes you do.  If that is what you really want and it is your dream, why not go for it? What do you have to loose. We opened this shoe store because we wanted to have a shoe store." I sat quiet for a bit, which in itself is an accomplishment for me, but I really let it soak in what she just said to me. THAT my friends is how this all started. Now obviously there is more to come about how Miss Cupcake got rolling, And other people who played major rolls in the resurrection of this, but this simple start deserves its special credit. That special credit does need to be payed to my dear friend Jen. Without her inquisitive conversation that day, who knows what or where I would be. This just goes to show you, that things you say or do my not effect you personally, and you may not even know it was something meaningful, but to someone else, it could very well change the track of their life. Thankfully in my situation things changed for the positive.To Jen, I am more grateful than she will ever know. Her pure heart has been a huge advocate in my journey to this bakery and I want you all to know that. So Thank you Jen, you not only made me realize my dream, but you pushed me to do it. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.
