My mother and I went to visit her.
While we were there, we stopped at a restaurant called "The Market Place", I ordered what may possibly be the BEST salad I have ever eaten!
It had chicken breast, fresh strawberries, roasted pecans, water chestnuts, & spinach.The dressing was a blueberry dressing.
It was wonderful!
I loved this salad so much that I made my poor mother smuggle an ice chest full of salad home on the plane each time she would visit my sister.
I have tried and tried to replicate this salad.
I managed to make some pretty darn tasty salads, but they were not quite right.
UNTIL NOW!
As a matter of fact...
I think mine is better!

In this fashion my pal Wesley Virgin's story begins in this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he found hidden, "mind control" tactics that the government and others used to get whatever they want.
These are the EXACT same secrets lots of celebrities (notably those who "became famous out of nowhere") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and famous.
You probably know how you utilize only 10% of your brain.
Really, that's because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Perhaps that conversation has even taken place INSIDE your very own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind around 7 years ago, while driving an unlicensed, beat-up bucket of a car without a driver's license and with $3.20 on his debit card.
"I'm so fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally succeed?"
You've been a part of those those types of questions, isn't it so?
Your own success story is waiting to be written. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
