i don’t frequently do a photo dump, but i’m getting back into the rhythm of regular posts! soooo while i’m working on some very nice chocolate-centered things for you, here’s a little recent fun ❤️ a little work, but mostly special happenings and recent travel and time with family.
grateful for SO many things.
🫶🏽 YOU — for the special ways that you keep growing this sweet chocolate community and being all in for the vision of CRAFT CHOCOLATE FOR ALL.
❤️ FAMILY — chosen in so many different ways, born into, grown, discovered, repaired, and all the connectors that help us become more ourselves. and for mama debbie who let me just sob all over her when i saw and snuggled her for the first time in far too long.
👩🏽💻 WORK — growth over the past few months, and believing in my own vision, thanks to and a cohort of special peers & mentors.
🏡 A VISIT HOME — deep appreciation for where and from whom we come. the ways things change and grow and still stay rooted. and a note of deep joy to francisco at for greeting us exactly as we would have walking by six years ago! ( mayyyybe an honorary mayor position needs to be created for this community hero, just sayin’ 💫)
💖 SELF-AWARENESS — more than before. knowing when to stop/what my body and health needs are/ continuously working toward a better tomorrow. or, in camellia chocolates values speak, THE ROAD AHEAD.
alright, emotional essay over // now stay tuned for soooo many special happenings this spring, summer, & beyond!
(and PS but VERY important: san diego babies, you are NOT FORGOTTEN. we didn’t reach out to anyone as this was a trip packed solely with special family things — I PROMISE on our next trip there will be loads of time together xoxox ❤️❤️❤️ )
