Cacao Now

Sometimes we set out with an agenda and we end up just having to dance. But at the end of the day, dancing is sometines (arguably always) the most important agenda in this life. End of story. (Clearly more important than creating IGTV and promotional videos, which initially was the agenda here... ) Tis what happens when I try to be serious in a kitchen surrounded by and talking about cacao (and yes, eating some too) (maybe a lot).... I recommend: 1. Dance more 2. Eat more cacao #chocolatedance #cacaobliss #cacaolove #cacaodance #kitchendance #eatyourcacaoanddance #rawchocolate #letlifeberaw See more

Being in charge of my own time and daily life, and being able to come and go as I please, have always been keystones in my choice of work and lifestyle. So much that for large stints of my life I ended up with jobs that I didn’t really thrive in, thinking that they were just for a little while (while I figured stuff out), based solely on the fact that they were non-committal and had a sense of freedom. As an example, I have been on formal payroll (the kind where you get pai...d holidays and those kinda things) for a totality of 24 months of my entire life So, following my passion (cacao, and being in service) and being an entrepreneur really is the only way. With all its ups and downs. And it certainly has a magnitude of ups, and also some less uppity aspects Being able to step outside and go down to the river every day truly reminds me of the perks and the reasons I chose this. I love this river The Stawamus River. It is my living room, my sacred place, my inspiration, and my happy place.

It is certainly important to feel compassion and love for others. LOVE really is the only thing that matters. Sometimes we forget, that actually, the most important person to love, is ourselves. Until we fully love ourselves, truly loving someone else, is indeed impossible. The loving of someone else can become an attempt to mask lack of self-love, if we do not first find that self-love.... And isn’t such a great way to embrace it that LOVING ourselves, is not only the key to and foundation of absolutely everything, but it is also a rebellious act, in our modern world and all the conditioning that inevitably comes with being a human these days. So! Practice SELF LOVE! Some ways to do this: Hug yourself, tell yourself you are beautiful and amazing, speak your truth, meditate, take care of yourself, eat nourishing foods, skip the junk food, drink lots of water (or herbal teas), write a love letter to yourself, stretch, go for walks or runs or skiing, spend time in nature, find comfort in aloneness, dance, listen to good music, listen to your body.
