Inspired by Chocolate

Inspiration is everywhere if you're open to it. Not long ago after several long ten to twelve hour days, I was dragging. I was working hard and had gotten a lot done,but I had more to do. The problem was my mojo was running low. So, I did what so many of us do when we need that temporary jolt of energy. I headed for the chocolate!

This time it was a special box of chocolates that I'd been given a month ago as a gift. I reached into the cupboard for that familiar gold crested box of the divine choc-o-late. You know what I'm talking about: Godiva.

And oh, I had been so good with this box of Godiva, only taking one or two pieces at a time to make it last as long as possible. I don't do this with Hershey kisses; I pop those morsels in my mouth without a second thought! But, Godiva, well that's an upgraded chocolate experience. Take. Your. Time.

Then, as I was removing the box top with the stately Godiva crest embossed across it, I realized something in all my chocolate eating years that had never occurred to me. It didn't say Godiva. No, not at all. It said Go-Diva!

Right then and there I realized that all this time Godiva was inspiring me to be a bodacious, diva woman and rewarding me with amazing chocolate. I smiled, exhaled and felt inspired. In that moment, life made sense!

So notice the little things during your day - the person who slows down to let you over in traffic, the co-worker who compliments you, and the name of your chocolate. Kindness, recognition, and motivation are there to spur you on. Inspiration is everywhere if you're open to it.
