I've been a cannabis advocate for over half my life.  I truly believe in its' healing powers and regard it as one of the most potent plant medicines on the planet...

Happy Summer!  Speaking of Summer, an amazing woman named Summer Sanders, who owns Local Juicery in Sedona just posted an article about me on her awesome website Strong and Radiant, helping women thrive...

I’ve been reflecting lately on all the little (and very huge) things that I’ve learned along my path of going from being that gypsy girl who lived in her van to being CEO of this company that is crossing over into a 7 figure business this year...

Yesterday, freshly back from our Sedona trip, my husband and I each awoke with quite the “to-do list.” After our morning tea and chocolate I said to him, “I’m getting in the bath...”

Linda and I were in our home kitchen in Portland, filling orders for chocolate jars, laughing while totally high on cacao. A thought flashed through my head…what if I end up having a real kitchen and providing jobs for many amazing friends?...

Don’t worry, when I say Resolutions as Rainbows I don’t mean that your goals are only visible if the perfect weather patterns are present.  It is what I call my system of coaxing myself to stay on track by rewarding my inner child...

My husband and I were having our usual breakfast of tea & chocolate one sunny Saturday morning on our couch.  As it usually does, the conversation turned to business…chocolate business of course...

While I could go on for days about the zillion reasons I LOVE chocolate and think it’s the best food on the planet, here are just a few for now.  It’s my passion to prove that my favorite food can and should be enjoyed with Guilt Free Pleasure!...

I guess I never really thought of branding as something spiritual, but the way I feel when I look at my product now…as if I’m totally seen in my true essence…Wow...

My hippy style jars of chocolate were delicious, but did nothing to prepare me for becoming an actual chocolatier. You may be thinking “come on, its not rocket science.” But it is physics, as you’ll read below...

It’s not anything I would ever in a million years have had the balls to do. That said, I don’t regret it in the least. It was a bit life changing and makes a great story, which I will get to telling in a few moments...

As an entrepreneur, there comes a time to package your creation. It doesn’t matter if you have a product or you yourself are the offering. You are going to need a logo, a website, marketing materials, wrappers, case boxes…the list goes on and on. A brand must be born...

Have you ever heard the term business as a spiritual practice? I used to ponder what that might mean and then, boy howdy, did I find out. Actually I’m still learning, with no end in sight. I’m about to paint you a picture of behind the scenes of Lulu’s Chocolate becoming what it is today...
