Observe Possibilities.

Entangle Possibilities.

Create Possibilities.

Throw spaghetti against the wall and see what sticks.

Several years ago, I was approached by Carolyn Wyman, author of "The Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book" to write a book about Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies. I am co-founder of Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies with my husband, but no one starts a company alone. I told her that Otis Spunkmeyer was about many things besides cookies, and I wrote stories to prove it. Carolyn agreed, indicating my most fascinating stories had nothing to do with cookies. She suggested I compile my "you can't make this up" stories of improbable possibilities.

My entrepreneurial stories are of Robert C. Brown and Company, investment advisors, and Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies and Burritos. Triple 888 Manufacturing, the sheet metal company that created the oven to bake Otis Spunkmeyer cookies. Sentimental Journeys, the DC3 airline that promoted Otis Spunkmeyer. New Shoes, Old Souls Dance Company, Yoga Garden Dancers, Heterodoxy Magazine, and George Magazine. Yes, I did meet with John F. Kennedy Jr., to incubate George. I also took Joe DiMaggio to Las Vegas and Van Morrison sang "Moondance" to me. Albert Einstein is one of my heroes. I have daughters. These narratives are a memorialization of my improbable possibilities. My spaghetti-walling spirit propagated waves.

The most powerful quantum computers can't negotiate infinite waves of possibilities. Artificial intelligence generates probable possibilities. Human intelligence imagines improbable possibilities. Artificial intelligence exists on codes and algorithms. Human intelligence is nurtured by thinking with thoughtfulness. It actualizes imagination, and spaghetti-walls improbable possibilities.

This is not a treatise on mindfulness. It is not an AI bashing, or a self-help book. Primarily, I am spaghetti-walling this book to entertain you. I've been determined to make waves.
