Today, I’m not just celebrating your birthday. I’m celebrating you. 💜
Carina, my business partner, my friend, and the person who has been sharing this beautiful, sometimes crazy journey with me.
People sometimes think we’re sisters, and although we aren’t, I think there’s something quite special about that. We may be different in so many ways, but somehow, those differences are exactly what make us complete each other.
It has been such a privilege to have you by my side, not only as my partner in The Chefs Company and MINI-CHEFS, but, above all, as my friend.
These past years have been about growing together, learning together, being each other’s shoulder to lean on when things get hard, and always being there to celebrate and cheer each other on when things go right. Through the good days and the difficult ones, we’ve always had each other.
I’m incredibly proud of everything we’ve built together, of everything The Chefs Company and MINI CHEFS have become, and of the journey that is still ahead of us.
And I honestly couldn’t have chosen a better person to share it all with. Thank you for choosing me as your partner, too. ❤️
And how lovely it is to come to work to rest, as we always say! 😂
Happy birthday, my dear friend, my incredible Chef Karina! I know you’ve left, and will continue to leave, a little piece of yourself in the hearts of everyone who has walked into our classes. And that is one of the most beautiful things about you.
Sending you the biggest hug and all my love.
With love, pride, and friendship,
your partner in crime. 💜
