(Hats off to my Dad for that one!)<\/p>\n<p>Second, I had to concentrate and think on what I wanted the outcome to be.&#0160; In order to make this meal truly special I had to visualize the joy that it would bring and the love that it would show.&#0160; I cooked this just for you, because I love you, and I want you to see that love in what I am offering you.&#0160; Nothing could be closer to being spell work without being spell work!<\/p>\n<p>Third, I had to take care with what I was doing; I had to check my ratios of tomatoes to garlic to peppers to onions. I had to make sure I stirred at the right time, checking to make sure nothing was burning, and get my timing right.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the meal was as perfect as I could make it!&#0160; Notice I said as perfect as I could make it?&#0160; Not necessarily perfect, maybe something wasn&#39;t exactly right, maybe I might have made a mistake.&#0160; However, I knew that I had done my personal best &#8211; the end result was going to be loved because I knew that those good folks would know that something had been made especially for them and that THEY had been at the forefront of my thoughts the whole time I was preparing the meal.<\/p>\n<p>So approach your spell work the same way!&#0160; Care about what you are doing, follow the instructions to the best of your ability, and visualize the loving end result!&#0160;Don&#39;t just go through the motions of your spell work because&#0160;you have to, or the instructions said so, or Mambo said so!&#0160; Do it because you want to!&#0160;You will feel happy and satisfied and you will know that no matter what the outcome, you did your very best!&#0160; That is success in a very special way!<\/p>\n<p>Love,light, and peace,<br \/>Mambo Samantha Corfield <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spellmaker.com\">www.spellmaker.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/voodooboutique.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00e54edc5c6888330134863ef552970c-pi\" style=\"DISPLAY: inline\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Foodheart\" border=\"0\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e54edc5c6888330134863ef552970c image-full \" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/voodooboutique.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00e54edc5c6888330134863ef552970c-800wi\" style=\"WIDTH: 26.64%; HEIGHT: 147px\" title=\"Foodheart\" \/><\/a>  <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone!
