mindful success: how to use your mind to transform your life

Maria Magdalena De La Cruz Cook-Garcia (Maggie) was born in Mexico in an orphanage. Her parents cared for over 200 children and through the years, legally adopted 60 children, and had 8 biological children of their own. Her family was invited to a picnic in Charleston, West Virginia. At the picnic there was a basketball court and Maggie and her brothers started to play, and there happened to be the Basketball coach of the University of Charleston. She saw Maggie play and said ＂who is that girl＂? The coach looked for Maggie’s father, found him and told him ＂I want her to come play for me on a scholarship＂. Maggie graduated with an Interior Design Degree, and in 2004, she started Maggie’s Salsa when she entered a salsa contest in West Virginia and won by unanimous vote. In 2006 Maggie became Vice President of an Interior Design Firm in West Virginia, and in 2007 she resigned her position to take on Maggie’s Salsa full time when she got a distributing contract with The Whole Foods Market.
