Valentine's Day, Chocolate and Haiti

I bet you are all trying to forget that Sunday is Valentine’s Day and here I am reminding you. My bad.

You will need to buy something for your sweetie or you will be in trouble. Dark Chocolate are always an excellent choice. Here’s a unique confection and a way to help out the people of Haiti at the same time.

According to their website, Intentional Chocolate™ will donate 100% of its profits to charities supporting Haiti until Valentine's Day.

On their “About Us” page, they explain that their chocolates are infused with good intensions by advanced mediators (some who have trained with the Dalai Lama) to help promote health and well-being.

Could you give anything better to a loved one?

The Simple Things Challenge

Chris from Enchanted Oak is doing The Simple Things Challenge, an easy way to keep your blessings flowing to Haiti.



From her blog: “Today and Sunday, I’d like to celebrate the simple pleasures of life with you. For each person who participates with a list, a poem, or a prose piece about the joy of simple things, my family will donate $2.00 to Heartline Ministries for their medical clinic and other programs in Haiti. The Heartline Ministries blog by John McHoul will tell you more about what they are doing.
Post your piece this weekend and include a link to my blog. Then pop in here to say you’ve posted your “Simple Things.” Post by midnight, Pacific time, Sunday, and don’t forget to link with me and notify me that you’ve posted. You can borrow the “Simple Things” photo. If you don’t have a blog, a comment on my blog will count too if you tell me so.
Let’s keep those blessings flowing.”
