Good morning and
welcome to Morning Cereal.
Okay, good morning
and welcome to Tuesday.
And as you know, we're having a little
bit of a different
morning cereal these next two
weeks because we're shooting on location,
so we have a little bit
of a truncated episode
for you today.
But we're still going to bring you the
fun facts and some nostalgia.
So let's just jump right on into it.
Today is National Ginger Snap Day.
So if you're craving those spicy, sweet,
nostalgic cookies, break
out that grandma-approved
cookie jar, right?
It's also National Choke Day.
So here's the joke for you.
My youngest son gave me this one.
What do you call a deer with no eyes?
I have no idea.
That's a good, right?
Right?
All right.
Our favorite red swimsuit-wearing
lifeguard, Pamela Anderson,
said, "Follow your dreams.
You can't go wrong.
There is no one path to happiness."
Now this quote is a great reminder that
fulfillment doesn't
come from a single formula.
It comes from being bold
enough to follow your own.
Well, today's news, facts,
and birthdays are for July 1st.
Welcome to July, everyone.
And we're going to start back in 1863,
when on this date, day
one of the Gettysburg battle
in the Civil War began.
Then in 1867, happy birthday to our
neighbor to the north.
Canada officially becomes a country.
Then we're going to jump up to 1973.
That's when the US, we pulled our forces
out of Vietnam, ending that war era.
Then in 1979 on this date, Walt Disney
World, they opened up EPCOT Center.
Well happy birthday to you.
Today is your birthday.
You share a birthday with Baywatch icon
and 90s TV royalty, Pamela Anderson.
She's 57.
Then a famous doctor and a famous actress
on her own, Liv Tyler.
She's only 47 today.
Well the number one song on this date
back in 1988 was Dirty
Diana by Michael Jackson.
Now Dirty Diana became Michael Jackson's
fifth consecutive
number one single from his
bad album.
And that tied him with his own record set
by Thriller and
surpassing any previous artist
for the most number ones
from one album at a time.
Well in the song, Michael sings about
Dirty Diana, but the
song was not about Princess
Diana.
But ironically Princess Diana once told
him it was her favorite song.
He almost removed it from a set list out
of respect for her
until she actually asked him
not to do it.
Well let's jump into our book review.
Remember we're just kind of giving you
some heads up on some
book reviews while we're
out on location this week.
So check out the Four
Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.
It's four simple principles to detach
from self-limiting beliefs
and live with more freedom
and authenticity.
So whether you're cracking into that
cookie jar or laughing at
my cheesy jokes or someone
else's, remember that you can do it one
step in front of the other.
