What is your perception?

Perception is the only reality. If you feel like you are going nowhere then my friend, you are correct. You get what you think about whether you want it or not. What does your daydream look like right now?

Whole Wheat Blueberry Bran Muffins

Blueberry Final

There is nothing more soothing than the smell of fresh baked bread.  Growing up, I remember that warm, made with love smell, coming out of the oven.  When you would take a deep breath and say “I love when mom makes muffins!”
