For The Love of Chocolate

I love chocolate and am a big advocate of eating chocolate. Unfortunately chocolate has gotten the bad rap of being a "sinful pleasure" and something to be avoided. First of all, let's debunk the "sinful" bit. Show me in the Bible where it states "thou shalt not have chocolate." None of the Ten Commandments lists  chocolate as a sin, so there. I suggest looking up the history of chocolate as it's been around since 2000 BC and has had quite an interesting journey.

What does chocolate have to do with Kung Fu other than my eating more than anyone in the Kwoon and my recording that in our diet blog? Some of my goals involve launching my business both online and local. Originally I thought that my business was about glass until recently I discovered it's also about foods, especially whole foods that are both dairy and gluten free. Boil that down and it comes to the fact that I'm all about the chocolate. FYI: read the book "Naked Chocolate" for enlightenment about the benefits of chocolate.

But I do more than eat chocolate, I think about it, plan what to do with it, have a vast storage of it (trust me on this one). Basically it's a passion of mine so how do I express that passion? That leads me to  this weekend where I will be in Denver for the Quantum Leap live event weekend, a kick-off to the 40 day intensive portion of the course. During the intensive portion my focus is on building my business in both glass and goodies harmonizing it with Kung Fu and the other aspects that are important to me. There will be a lot for me to discover, grow, plan, take action, rinse and repeat.

Right now I'd love to develop a line of luxury chocolates that are not only exotic to the taste, but also healthy for the body by containing only whole foods and being void of dairy, gluten, and refined sugar. I have some ideas but I am thinking that I might need to scare up a panel of willing volunteer testers to see if this whole idea is good only according to my tastebuds  or is it for real. Something to mull over especially over some delicious dark chocolate.
