It used to be that Valentines Day was the only day I could find an excuse to indulge myself in delicious chocolate, but that has all changed. This week, we have created another reason to savor your favorite treat, this one not masked by another holiday. Chocolate Day is September 23 and we all should be indulging! My good friend Irina rarely has time for sweets, but every year on this day she can’t help but have some milk chocolate with macadamia nuts inside. We all have our favorites, share your secrets and introduce your friends to something you love.

The very following day (September 24) is Kiss Day. I may not always be all about the romanticism, but I can definitely send some sweet chocolate kisses to endearing friends. I like to commemorate the day by spreading the word to let everyone know they should take a moment to send kisses to their loved ones. Send a nice note that will make your partner swoon with admiration.

Rosh Hashanah begins on September 24 and I have a feeling this year’s celebration will be a bit different then before. Kate is dating a new guy whose family is Jewish and has invited her to celebrate with them in their tradition. From what I know, there will be plenty of shouting, music and festivities. There is also the tradition of apples dipped in honey to signify and evoke a ‘sweet new year.’ This is a two-day event to be embraced all over the world.

I will be sending out cards to the people I know to be participating in the jubilee this week and I encourage all my friends to do the same! Whether you are celebrating the New Year yourself, with friends or know someone who is, celebrate the beautiful life you lead and cherish others.
