What's it all about? (MY SUPER MOIST CARROT CAKE)

(MY SUPER MOIST CARROT CAKE)

    

What's it all about?  I mean everything.  What in the world are we here for.  What is the most important thing we can learn.  I asked myself that a long time ago.  Like I said before, I learned about life using the braille system so learning this was by trial and error too.
     I know, pretty deep stuff to be chatting about, but I'm here to make this real easy for you.  (Like I said before, "I like easy") I checked on this to see what others where saying about it and all I found was a "bunch off pig poo wrapped in a pile of horse droppings".  Any one can get all philosophical and tell you what it means, but I'm here to tell you that I know for a fact what it's about!  And It's EASY!

IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE

     That's it! Nothing more, Nothing less!  See I told you it was easy.  Anyone can have all the riches in the world but if you don't have someone to share it with, then you have nothing!  "OK" you say laughing really hard!  I heard that before!  Well now I'm not only going to tell you what it's all about, but I'm going to tell you how to get it for yourself......READY?     **GIVE IT!**    Yup that's it!  All through the day we interact with with many people and have ample opportunities to give Love in various ways...a smile, a quick Hello, holding the door.....you name it!  Big ways, small ways.  It doesn't matter!  What Love you give is what you will get.  Done end of story!

     I know, now you are saying how does this have anything to do with (My Super Moist Carrot Cake)?  I give alot of my LOVE through the food I make for those whom I LOVE. This cake was my brother Dans favorite!  He passed away recently and I wanted to feel the Love from him and my Love for him.  Hey!  It works for me!  I thought it might for you too.  I just know you will LOVE it !                     

 From me to you with LOVE!
