Inspiration for the mind and beer.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.” This quote was taken from the Philosophy section of the website for Feed Your Soul Cookies (www.feedyoursoulcookies.com). Now, their cookies may not be leaving footprints in your hearts, but they will be leaving you with inspiration and of course footprints in your stomach, hungering for more. Read more…
