3 million tons of cocoa

Annually that’s how much cocoa is consumed.

It originated in South America and the latin name, Theobroma, literally means ‘food of the gods’.

It came to Europe as a drink, chocolatl, and did not become used in confection until the 18th century. Chocolate houses became popular drinking places in the 1700’s in England.

Today, across many countries is the celebration of Easter, related to the resurrection of Christ.

Perhaps, it could more aptly be renamed Cocoa, the celebration of chocolate.

Unique

Each tree is unique.

No two snowflakes are the same.

Our fingerprints are uniquely ours.

Every one of the 7 billion plus humans on this planet are unique too.

We are amazing each and every one of us.

We have our own special talents, ability, and a unique soul.

Do not ever compare yourself to others, never feel that you are not worthy and always remember there is only one you.

Care, love, cherish and be kind to you, it’s all you have that is unique.
