Just a note... a reminder

As the holiday shopping season blows in at full force, I wanted to post a bit about taking a breath and enjoying this season with its beautiful and suprisingly warm weather. We are so busy, hustling from store to store that it is so easy to miss the meaning of this season with its new birth and the start of a new season and a brand new year.

Find lovely products that let you treat yourself in a few spare minutes. What I am really enjoying right now is Vosges Haut Chocolates. I find them locally at the Curious Grape in Shirlington, but they have a beautiful site, www.vosgeschocolate.com with lovely blurbs about each chocolate. It's like taking a trip with each exotic bite. I adore the slightly sweet and salty taste of the Gogi Chocolate bar and the spicy heat of the Red Fire Bar. Try several and pick your favorite.
