Yup, a lot of successful people say that others don’t see the many failures on the their way to the top. Have a great day! 🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻

I always love to hear about the overnight success that took 20 years.

Oh yes dear Pam, you have no idea of the taste of some of those chocolates to reach those ones I call a success. And I struggled in the testing to get there 🤣

And you must always continue to test, just in case, to be sure.

Oh, most certainly Pam. As Ginger said, I’ll send you both over a few boxes to test for me. (Um, can I go to jail for ‘dealing’ in chocolate and corrupting you both?) 🤣

Mark, I’m here to help. Send me several dozen packages of your chocolate and I will taste test them for you! I’ll even test them for poison and bombs! That’s what friends are for, right? 🤗
💩 Whoops! That’s not chocolate, is it?!

And thanks for putting your life on the line in the name of ‘safe’ chocolate, there can never be a lack of testing for that 😂

Mark, you would do the same for me…or not! We chocoholics can’t be too careful. We have to protect our source of life. So I’ll take the bullet and keep us all safe. We need to watch what Pam’s eating because she’s already a whackadoodle! Don’cha just love her?!
BTW, right now I’m enjoying Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Kisses. Eat your heart out. 😝

Without those failures there would be no successes! Best learning tool ever! And if we’re honest, some of those failures are a hell of a lot of fun…some not so much!

I have some VERY good memories of my failures! And no I don’t think it would be appropriate to share.

Hahaha! The spice of life! The failures we wouldn’t share are the best ones, and they provide some of our fondest memories.
