The Chocolate Diaries

Secrets for a Sweeter Journey
on the Rocky Road of Life

"People who have been handed some really distasteful things

yet have managed to fold them into the batter of their lives

in such a way that the end results are not just appetizing, they are amazing!

These are people we love to be around,

because their lives aren't characterized by bitterness

despite the hardships they have experienced.
Instead, they have extracted both the good and bad...

and blended it all to create lives that are rich and satisfying."

This book is appropriately titled ☺. Chocolate Diaries is a collection of thoughts, feelings, stories and practical advice shared over...chocolate.  I have not heard of or read anything by author Karen Linamen before.  She has a light and personal writing style.  Sometimes you just need to hear from someone who has "been" through it...or IS still.  Practical advice, or possibly we could call it "therapy" is scattered throughout, such as getting rid of the clutter...looking for the beauty where you are...do something loving for someone else...laugh...PRAY...LAUGH...and when all else fails, dip your spoon in the peanut butter jar and melt some left-over chocolate chips.
