I want to have bake sales and plate sales for both cookbooks to raise money for my dreams 1st owning a gym to motivate woman to comfortably work out in a safe space with children where men can come for specialized activities Tuesday thru Sunday like Flag football, Kickball, Dodgeball, Self-Defense classes, Motivational Art Paint parties, and Dance lessons.
Just short of my 2nd dream of owning a non-profit community center that would offer Cooking Classes and other life skill classes like basic auto Maintenace.
My final and 3rd dream is to offer couples a safe space to explore self-love and owning their own boundaries to discover self-worth before acknowledging that others have boundaries as well.
I believe writing these cookbooks will make me happy thinking of my father and give me a chance to raise my own money to start-up my dreams on my own. It's hard to ask for help when you believe you Show one, Love one, Teach one, to Really truly Raise one to believe they can do it on their own!
Call me stubborn like my mom, or naive to believe it can be done, but maybe I'm the example that anyone with a dream can get it accomplished, no matter how the world full of people who aren't meant to understand you, aren't meant to build you up. That's why Self is most important.
Not everyone will understand or need to understand your purpose, it is with strength from believing in God and Self that drives me to the build it on your own mentality.
1st "Steal this cookbook, but first buy this cake"
2nd " Steal this cookbook, but first buy this plate"
Both cookbooks written to serve an army for Potlucks and large gatherings and you'd have to divide the recipes' manually (that's why if you steal it, you better know the math between what's free and what takes work to understand how I rationalized the title #hoffman)

I want each cookbook to flow from chronological order starting with Spring and ending in Spring with Valentine's Chapter on Self-Love
