I was a
really fat baby. Getting to know my
mother as I grew up, I'm pretty sure it's because she force fed me. (I saw her do this with my ten years younger

pounds when I was 25.

universe in motion to
get what we desire. Through the Law
of Perpetual Transmutation our thoughts can funnel energy,
already in motion, to manifest physically. Simply put,
thoughts
are things.
