Chocolate Meditation
Did I ever tell you how much I love chocolate? It ranks as number one for favorite foods for me, so when I came across these instructions of how to do Chocolate Meditation not only did I have to try it, I had to blog about it.
- Get yourself a nice bar of chocolate (I prefer dark chocolate) and cut out three pieces.
- Take one of the pieces and just look at it. Study its color, its shading, its size.
- Now feel the chocolate — feel its texture. Imagine the process that it took to create the bar of chocolate — from melted to solid bar.
- Smell the chocolate; take in its fine aroma. You are absorbing its essence into your body. What does the smell remind you of?
- Now, place the chocolate into your mouth. Let it sit there and melt. Savor the chocolate — is it too sweet? Is it just perfect? Feel it dissolve in your mouth and into your being. The chocolate is now a part of you.
- After you are done, reflect on the experience. Had you truly enjoyed a chocolate before? Have you truly savored anything in that manner before?
Granted, I mostly like to just shove the chocolate in my mouth. These instructions slow you down and you actually get to enjoy the chocolate too. This just makes you step back and reflect. You can do this with other foods or aspects of your life. This should come in extremely handy in the next couple holiday stress filled weeks.
Off to go find chocolate!
BlogWorld – Day 1 Evening
I left BlogWorld and hopped onto the monorail to get back to my hotel. Having been to Vegas two times before, I was excited to ride the monorail. It wasn’t here my two prior visits. You still end up doing a ton of walking, but it definitely does help to get around. The monorail dropped me off at the Hilton. I then walked to my hotel.
Actually, my hotel wasn’t really a hotel at all. Instead, it is a Hilton timeshare. What is a timeshare? Basically, what I did was to rent condos for the 3 nights I was there (actually make that 1 condo for all three nights). Bill and I did not buy a condo. We just borrowed my inlaws. I do think you can buy these as condos for sale. I know this is super confusing. However, since we don’t belong to this, I have a very limited understanding of it. The room was gorgeous. I love staying in places that are better than my house. I had a king size bed for all of me. It was great. Since there was only me staying there, I only got the studio. However, if Bill would have come with, I definitely would have gotten the 1 bedroom. Otherwise, we would have been on top of each other and driving one another bananas.
Once I got settled, I met up with several other bloggers for dinner at a German place there. Anybody who was with — please let me know the name. Bill has been to Germany, and I would love to see if he went there or not. However, I do not know the name of the place. I took a couple of pictures. For some reason, a lot of pictures turned out really dark, so bear with me.
I forgot to take a picture of the beer. It was huge (like a liter of beer). Dinner took forever, but it was good and fun to meet up with everyone!

Need a Job?
When I was in the working world, one of the sites I used to look for work was Monster. This is one of the best comprehensive job listing sites out there. It just as easy to post jobs on there as it is to look for them. In the world that we live in, it is one of the easiest ways to let that world know that you are hiring. You are able to reach the entire United States, Canada, or almost any country of your choosing. As a potential employee, I love that I can upload my resume to them. Not only can I search for jobs but potential employers can be searching for me also. I have been contacted by employers through them, so it definitely works. You can show if you are looking for part time, full time, or seasonal work. You can show what salary you are looking for and what hours you want to work. This is such a time saver for everyone involved. I have been to job interviews where I have found out this information at the interview (and we could have saved everyone’s time if I had known beforehand). If you need a job or if you are looking to hire, definitely check out Monster.
