Today I turn 40.
And this year, my little dream, Cucina Sophia, turns 10.
Two important milestones, happening in the same year.
And somehow, it feels impossible not to stop for a moment and look back at everything that has brought me here.
It feels a little strange to celebrate such an important birthday without my family by my side. I was supposed to still be on holiday, but work brought me home a little earlier. And yet, maybe this is exactly what makes today so special.
Because this business has been such a huge part of my life.
It has grown with me, challenged me, changed me, and given me so much more than I could have ever imagined when I started.
I am proud.
Proud of the woman I’ve become, proud of the journey, and incredibly grateful for every person who has been part of it.
And because this year, there was simply no way not to celebrate…
I made myself a special cake. 🎂
A little gift to myself, for 40 years of life and 10 years of a dream that became real.
Happy birthday to me. And happy 10th birthday, Cucina Sophia.🎂✨
