BERRY BLUE LAYER CHEESECAKE
Setting the Scene:
By now, most readers will have surmised that I love cheesecake. I’ve included
several mentions in my book, including one in an exercise. Did I mention the exercises,
the pop quizzes, the quotations, the humour and wit, the puns, the energy and the cave-
style cartoons? Yes, it’s a self-help book. No, it doesn’t look like one or read like one.
This book is plain and simple fun … as well as helping every one of us increase our
happiness. Here’s an excerpt from Chapter 9 – Happy Thanksgiving.
Excerpt from Climb your Stairway to Heaven: the 9 habits of maximum happiness
(ISBN 0-595-17826-X):
Exercise:……………………………………………
Can you determine the value of all you have? Let’s make a list. Start with your
left eye. Would you sell it for—$10? $20? $100? $1,000? $1,000,000? Not at all? Now
considering that your left eyeball has been sold, for how much would you sell your right
eye? Keep doing this for every part of your body. I suspect you’ll discover your true
value is hundreds of times infinity. You are priceless.
Before reading any further, how about going through the same exercise with all
the other things you have? Shelter, clothing, freedom of speech, freedom of movement,
freedom of thought, fresh air, water, food, a library card, talent (can you dance, sing, sew,
play pool, bowl, read, garden, tell jokes, bake a rich and great-tasting cheesecake,
swim?)—everything you have. This will help you later in the chapter. You don’t have to
list every single pen or cracker or toothpick or shoe you own, but take about 15 minutes
to jot down what comes to mind: freedoms, opportunities, friends, skills, knowledge,
possessions—anything you have.
Chantal, my wife, asked me to make her a scrumptious blueberry cheesecake.
You, too, can bake this rich and great-tasting cheesecake.
