- Money comes to me and helps me live well.
- I am thankful for what I have right now.
- My future is bright and full of hope.
- I let go of worry and choose to feel thankful.
- Good things come to me easily and often.

“The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of the human race than the discovery of a star.”
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (Lawyer & Former Deputy of the French National Assembly; April 1st, 1755 to February 2nd, 1826)
“Few of us have enjoyed the thrill of mounting a one-woman show of our art. But all of us can put on an apron. Tonight, instead of thinking of dinner as just another obligation, think of it as an opportunity for jump-starting your creativity. Cooking is one of the best ways for your authentic self to remind your conscious self that you are an artist. Like the union of canvas and pigment, cooking alchemy, a work of Wholeness-in-progress.”
“… you can never re-create the past. But you can shape your own future. And you can make a cake.”
Jacqueline Deval (Author; ~1960)
“Since I am able to follow a recipe pretty well, I can make cake!”
