Choose thoughts that make you happy now. Whether these are joyful memories, thoughts of appreciation about the present, or thoughts anticipating wonderful things to come, any thought that makes you happy puts you in touch with the love that is ever-present in the moment.
When traditions and memories inspire a sense of happiness within you now, enjoy them!
If traditions or memories no longer give you joy or don’t resonate with you now, choose to focus on something different, new, or better.
Your holidays are a celebration of light birthed in darkness. By choosing the thoughts that make you happy now, you birth the light into your life… one day, one thought at a time.
Invite guests to come in and warm-up with a decadent hot chocolate. Whether you’re hosting an after-dinner event or a catch-up with friends, hot chocolate bars are always a great idea!
Here’s how to set up the perfect hot chocolate bar:
1. Gather your ingredients: The star of the show is, of course, hot chocolate. Make it from scratch using cocoa powder, sugar, milk, and a dash of salt. If you’re tight on time, store-bought packets work just fine. Just be sure to have plenty to go around!
2. Variations of hot chocolate: Offering a variety of flavors adds a fun twist. Consider white chocolate, dark chocolate, or mint chocolate. If you want to go the extra mile, consider adding specialty flavored syrups or a mocha option.
3. The add-ins: This is where your guests can get creative. Mini marshmallows, whipped cream, chocolate shavings, crushed candy canes, flavored creamers, and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg can all add unique twists to a classic hot chocolate.
4. The adult options: For an evening gathering, you may want to include adult add-ins like Baileys, Kahlua, or peppermint schnapps.
5. The mugs: While paper cups work just fine, a variety of mugs can add character and style to your hot chocolate bar. You can stick with a theme, mix and match, or ask guests to bring their favorite mug.
6. Keep it hot: Invest in a couple of insulated carafes to keep your hot chocolate warm throughout the party.
7. The decorations: Consider a winter wonderland theme with snowflakes and pinecones or go classic with a cocoa and cream color scheme. Either way, make your hot chocolate bar as visually appealing as it is delicious.
8. Don’t forget the sides: What’s hot chocolate without cookies or brownies on the side? Whip up some sweet treats or ask guests to bring a dish to share.
Lastly, remember the most important ingredient – good company! The fun is in the camaraderie, so invite a great mix of people and enjoy your warm, sweet event. Cheers to a delicious and cozy hot chocolate bar party!

I am excited to share a new topic here at Intuitive Magazine, Real Estate! I am thrilled to have joined Coldwell Banker Premier Properties- Palm Coast 🩵 I am now a licensed Realtor.
The excitement of helping people find their dream homes and watching them build a new chapter of their lives fills me with positivity. Real estate is not just about buying or selling homes, it’s about finding a home where memories will be created, where families will grow and where dreams will be fulfilled.
I believe that finding a home is not just about finding a physical structure, it’s about finding a sanctuary that aligns with your soul and your beliefs. It’s about creating a space that speaks to your spirit and allows you to connect with the world around you.
So, while this magazine is about positivity and spirituality, it’s only natural that we add real estate to the mix. After all, finding a home that is perfect for you and your family is a spiritual journey in itself.
