Constantly fascinated by the world around me. I've got the dreamer's disease... and I believe that a truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

I spend most of my time reading, writing, cooking & planning my life on Post-It notes. Music, wine, food, art & travel are my favorite fuel; spending time well wasted.
I began writing this blog because I think that every day we have something to be celebrated, shared, something that sparks creativity, inspiration & ideation.
Although I'm quite optimistic, I'm more judgmental than I'd like to admit. Here's to overturning assumptions.

More than 30 vendors will have delectable tastings of their best chocolate offerings. With vendor competitions, an amateur contest, children's activities, raffle baskets, holiday shopping opportunities and chef demonstrations, the entire day will satisfy your sweet tooth!

A fabulous Premiere Party will be hosted on Thursday, October 20 at Midwest Culinary Institute with one of my favorite local chefs, Sean Kagy and sponsored by one of my favorite wine shops, A Bottle of Two. With a silent auction, chocolate-inspired food stations and a champagne reception, it will be a the perfect soiree to whet the appetite before the big event!

My previous boss asked me to join the efforts of the Isaac M. Wise Sisterhood, to which she belongs, and contribute PR and social media expertise. I'm having a great time seeing everything come together and helping to secure local celebrity judges and spread the word about this incredible event. All proceeds benefit local children's charities supported by the Sisterhood. I hope all my friends and family can attend!
