Welcome to Total Life Chocolate
The phrase "total life chocolate" came during a conversation, in 2006, with a co-worker and friend who expounded on a remark I made about sibling rivalry. We were talking about the way that some folks bring sibling rivalry into the office environment in terms of the feeling that his/her brother(s)/sister(s) somehow got more—a bigger slice of cake, a better birthday gift, more of mom and dad's attention—that sort of thing.
We talked about the concept of Karma and how things evened-out over the course of a lifetime, so we wondered aloud why folks hung on so dearly to the idea that they weren't getting their fair share, and worked too hard at demanding it from others.
As the years passed, I wanted to do something with that phrase, because to me, it seemed as if there was a piece missing from our initial interpretation. Sure, the phrase described want, but the phrase also held deeper meaning.
Total Life Chocolate became a year-long, online project on A Creative Way Out of Work, , in which I dedicated myself to writing weekly essays as a way of working on my own self-development. I wrote about the common challenges, a want for healing, and about all the good things in my life that I ought to be thankful for.
The essays posted on this site and those that live at A Creative Way Out of Work encourage you to look beyond whatever daily irritants keep you feeling down, or locked in misery, and provide exercises to help you move past whatever is keeping you from moving forward.
