All We Need is PEACE, FIRE, and (of course) LOVE!!!
☮️ PEACE 🕊️
Custom 6pc Collection ~ 20% Donation to Walk for Peace
Yesterday, a group of monks passed their halfway mark on a 2,300-mile walk. With this small offering, we hope to amplify their message.
“When difficulty arrives, our minds rush forward—overthinking, catastrophizing, creating stories about how terrible things are. We make situations heavier by adding layers of worry and fear on top of what is already challenging. But if we pause, if we become mindful of our breath in that moment, if we notice our thoughts without getting swept away—something shifts.”
Inspired by the venerable monks, Mamma Wonka and I went on our own walk for peace in the snow yesterday in contemplation, unity, and gratitude. We practiced loving-kindness to those we encountered, held silence (and laughter!) with the snowflakes, and discussed how we can bring about peace in the world around us - beginning with our own minds and community. You are our community, dearest ChocoLovers!
🔥 FIRE 🐎
Join 2 Billion people preparing to celebrate the Lunar New Year! Immersing oneself in this (and every!) festivity can be a powerful catalyst for change. Representing vitality, freedom, and indomitable will, the Fire Horse is a symbol of motion and awakening. It arrives in stride. Drawing inspiration from this force, let us recommit to courage, not as impulse, but as mastery, and to learning how to guide the fire that drives us forward. When you honor the Horse’s spirit within, your greater self is stirred into motion.
🗓 LOVE 💘
Sages, poets, and philosophers tell us what we already know but easily forget: today is our most precious possession. Their clear message is to be fully present and to fill each day with life and love. This illuminating truth is easily lost in our busy lives, so we created a Valentine Advent Countdown as our loving reminder to you of sweet beauty to be found and celebrated each and every today.
