Doing a mind movie shows where you want to be and what you want to have or accomplish in your life. Tell yourself something often enough and you will begin to believe it.

The Good Old Days

I recently received a phone call for a cake order for a party for a lady who is turning 100 years old tomorrow. I felt honored to do her cakes. There was also a front-page article in our local newspaper about a county resident who turned 108 on July 6! There was also a big celebration for him.
