Pursuing my ChocolateLife has given me opportunities to travel around the world, meet amazing people, have incredible and make amazing friends. In this episode of PodSaveChocolate, I will be sharing some of my ChocolateLife journey. The featured photo above shows one such experience, which took place in Paris (Neuilly, specifically) in 2010 during a two-day *Discover Chocolate in Paris* tour I organized during the Salon du Chocolat. I will share more about what went on that day during the episode as well as chocolates, people, places, and other experiences that I am thankful for. I will also be tasting some of the chocolates I purchased (and was gifted) during my recent trip to London for International Cocoa Diplomacy’s International Cocoa and Chocolate Forum.

I hold myself to this same task, and so I am including this section, starting with this episode, for what I am committing to. > Of course, I am not a perfect human being. I recognize there are commitments I have made to individuals that I have failed to fulfill, in part and in full. > > So, one major #PSC commitment is to fullfull those obligations. ### **Homework for Participants** What are YOU thankful for?
