I am so very fortunate to be invited on a private tour of Thomas Haas’s North Shore site. It was a wonderful experience that included chocolate tasting and live demonstration of chocolate mousse making, but the best part of the whole evening was meeting Thomas Haas himself.
From just reading his biography and seeing the creations he puts out, I have always known that he is a man of high expectations and treats his craft seriously. And, meeting him in person and hearing him talk in person about what he does totally solidifies that. His eyes, his voice, his body language, everything about him screams passion and dedication for what he loves. I know making great chocolate is his life-long dream but seeing that passion and love pour through every pore of him makes it that much more inspiring and exciting.
7-min Interval Exercise Routine
One of my goals for 2013 is be active daily, in some form or another.
I’ve always did exercise 2-3 times a week in the past few years, but sometimes I would fall off the wagon for a couple weeks just because I get busy with other priorities and forget to work out!
So this year, I finally decided that to make exercise part of my life, it has to become a habit, a daily habit, and that’s the only way I will be active without having to consciously think about it.
And really, I’m being easy on myself. How I define “be active” is just to get off the couch and do something. It can be as easy as doing a 10-15min Youtube workout, or a yoga DVD or going out for a jog (training for my half-marathon!) or taking the boyfriend’s puppy out for a long walk.
