Good morning and
welcome to Morning Cereal.
Okay, good morning and welcome to Monday.
Well, I hope you all enjoyed the 4th of
July and the long weekend.
And as a quick reminder, we are shooting
on location this week.
So morning cereal will be a bit truncated
this week, but that
said, let's go ahead and
just jump on into it.
Today is World Chocolate Day.
So many chocolates to love.
I mean, are you a milk chocolate?
Are you a dark chocolate person or a
white chocolate person?
I think for me, probably milk
chocolate or dark chocolate.
I like them both.
Well, let's not forget it's also Global
Forgiveness Day, which gives you
permission to let that,
well, whatever it is,
forgive it and just let it go.
Elsa would be proud of you.
Well, to pair with your chocolate,
Luciano Pavarotti, he
serves up a little bit of a
tasty tidbit for us.
Luciano Pavarotti said,
"People think I'm disciplined."
Well, it's not discipline, it's devotion.
There's a great difference."
And it's a beautiful reminder that when
you truly love what you
do, it feels like purpose,
right?
Devotion, it's not duty, it's what keeps
us moving forward with heart.
All right, well, today's news, facts and
birthdays are for July 7th.
And we're going to start back in 1928
when it's the greatest thing since what?
Sliced bread, right?
That was the first time sliced bread was
sold by the Chillicoot
Baking Company in Missouri.
They used a machine that was invented by
a guy named Otto and
it was described as the
greatest forward step in the baking
industry since bread was wrapped.
There you have it.
Well, this is an infamous day from 1947.
This is when the alleged and very
disputed Roswell UFO incident happened.
Then in 1990, the first three tinners
concert featuring Placido
Domingo, Jose Caredes and
Luciano Pavarotti in Rome.
Well, that recording became the world's
best selling classical record.
And then finally, happy birthday to you.
Today is your birthday.
You share a birthday with the Beatles
drummer Ringo Starr.
And the number one song on this date back
in 1992 was "End of the Road" by Boys to
Men.
And "End of the Road" shattered records
by spending 13
consecutive weeks at the number
one on the Billboard Hot 100, breaking a
record that had stood since 1956.
Well, here we are.
Remember, I'm just giving you guys some
heads up on some other
book reviews while we're
out right now.
Here's a good one for you.
Try the subtle art of not giving a...
Well, that word right
there by Mark Manson.
So the book's going to teach about how to
focus on what truly
matters and to just let
go of the rest.
Well, start your week with a little
sweetness here and remember
to focus on what truly matters
to you.
