How does one follow up on a pre-pandemic blog post?
Well, I've certainly made a lot of chocolate disappear in the past year. It's my comfort food. Always has been. Always will be. I began making my own to ensure the chocolate I consume (in large quantities!) aligns with my healthy food and healthy environment values. Chocolate has given me purpose, too. It's with much gratitude that I thank all of my dedicated Chocolate Club members and the many chocolate lovers who've sought out my raw cacao at the Tamworth and Wolfeboro farmers markets and those who've found it by chance or through local advertisement. Your encouraging feedback makes the effort all worth it. It lets me know my efforts are appreciated. Some of you have expressed how positively life-changing my consciously crafted chocolate is for you. Regardless of how we've connected and however briefly, all of you have made life in these strange times seem "normal" and purposeful. This past year has been a tough one. I can't lie. Who could anticipate the significant shift 2020 would bring to our lives? I'll never take "business as usual" or day to day living for granted again. My isolationist tendencies will be tossed out the post-pandemic window as soon as it safely opens. I am going to hug people often and for extended periods of time. You are forewarned. May all of you find purpose and some positive form of comfort in this new reality. In the meantime, and forever after, take sweet solace in knowing that the active components of cacao are scientifically shown to improve mood and uplift spirits.* Be well, shine on, stay hopeful. Eat consciously created chocolate. xoxo Beth *https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3575938/
