Ok, ya’ll. It’s time to tap in (tap, tap, tap in) to these Carob Pupcakes.
And, a little something extra to go along with them. One of my fellow Huffton University Alum, Coco, got together with me yesterday for dinner. Coco lives out of state, so we haven’t seen each other in a long time.
During dinner, she told me that she finally decided that she was ready to start her own travel company, Le CocoTour. The goal of Le CocoTour is to coordinate travel excursions for pups who love a little adventure.
Le CocoTour has been a daydream of Coco’s for years. However, like most pups do, she put her “crazy idea” on hold to focus on everyone else’s dreams and aspirations. But, here she is ready to bring her “crazy idea” to life.
As a fellow “crazy idea” chaser, Coco asked me for advice as she embarked on this new journey of hers. I expressed to her “Love yourself through it.” There will be so many twists, turns, and learning curves as you work towards your dream. So, it’s important that you barking love yourself every step of the way.
After our bark-versation, I decided to do something a little different with my pupcakes for the rest of the month. I’d add a note of encouragement, or shall I say bark-firmation, to each and every pupcake box from Pupcake Sugar. This way pups can practice a little self-love with every pupcake.
So, these Carob Pupcakes are dedicated to loving yourself through every part of your “crazy idea” journey. Because, you got this.
