*This interview was my first guest interview ever.   I was ever so sad to learn of Tony's passing in August of 2020 after a tragic accident.  May he rest in peace.   

_____________________________________________________

Bend your ear to hear a bit from Tony Davis--entrepreneur, handcrafter, proud US marine veteran, and the owner of Kentucky Knows Bourbon Barrel Coffee and Handcrafted Gifts Shop in Frankfort, Ky.  

In this episode, he shares a bit of advice on being an entrepreneur and the importance of gratitude. 

You can sign up to receive a newsletter from Tony at https://www.kentuckyknows.com/  On his website you can view several videos about the history of his business, purchase coffee as well as a myriad of handmade barrel crafts. What was Tony's first craft?  He writes:  "Food represents family, home cooked meals, and community. That's when I came up with my first craft; the cutting board. And that's where it all started."  Don't you love that?!  Tony's website is absolutely fascinating!  I found myself lost in time, lost in thought, and really educated in the meantime. Please drop by to see Tony in downtown Frankfort.  Order a cup of coffee and tell him Victoria sent you!  

Support our local Kentucky artisans and small business owners.  They're an integral part of what makes Kentucky a great place to live and visit!

One of the secrets to lasting happiness and joy is harvesting the ability you have to CHOOSE.  You can choose what to think about which in turn will affect your emotions and your actions.  Listen to the story of Linda and how when she turned 89, she decided to bake her own birthday cake--just a small example of how she lived her tragic-ridden life with peace, joy, and determination to show the world her love for her Creator. 

Also, here's a little gift for you to say THANK YOU!!!!  After you rate this podcast, write a review, and share the link on social media, skip on over to my website.  There you will find that scrumptious black walnut cake recipe that Linda made.  It would mean the world to me to share this with you!   The black walnut cake has become the symbol for perseverance and God's faithfulness in my family.  And you MUST use black walnuts - don't compromise! :)  

You might even consider making this cake as a gift of encouragement to someone you know who has lost a loved one or who is struggling with breast cancer.  The day that my grandmother died, two of my dear friends came knocking on my door with this cake in hand.  Needless to say, I was overcome with gratitude and love.
