Raspberry Jalapeno Brownies

Fear is conquered by the brave and understood by the wise. It is never faced by a coward and will halt the unwilling in their path. Fear has caused leaders to stray and countries to fall. Our society buys and sells based on fear and in fear our leaders are elected.


Through life we will face fears of different kinds and we have choices in how to handle them. One is understanding. When you choose to understand the fear often you find the fear has no base, no common sense. You can begin understand it as a risk. A risk you can prepare for, you can see and overcome.

In the face of fear, seek understanding. In the face of jalapeno, seek raspberry.
