Editors Notes History of chocolate in Jamaica
There are several varieties of cocoa. Most common to Jamaica is the variety known as Criollo. Criollo cocoa is the rarest and most expensive of the three types of cocoa and is native to Central and South Americas, and the Caribbean Islands. Cocoa was introduced to Jamaica by the Spaniards, following the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs, who began growing cocoa beans on plantations using African slaves. In addition to pleasing palates since ancient times, chocolate has played an integral role in culture, society, religion, medicine, and economic development across the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Why do so many cultures love it in various forms? We just do and Jamaicans are no exceptions. All over the island, we see the coco plant. Let’s take a trip down to memory lane on what it means to you. 4|Page

Nothing heals the body and soul like moving with the rhythm of life. Myles is a heavy-duty workaholic. Years of drive and dedication have helped him become a partner in an engineering firm and buy pretty much anything he wants. But it has come at a price.
The unrelenting stress on his body has manifested in a herniated disc that has turned a successful thirty-seven year-old man into an old man seemingly overnight--and caused his girlfriend to leave him. It's clear to all who know Myles that there's one thing he's missing, and it is that one thing that can help ease his pain in every facet of his life: balance. To help him find it, his friend Roy convinces him to visit Jamaica and use his home there for a vacation. Suddenly immersed in the vibe and rhythm of the island nation where "No problem" should be the national phrase, the cares, worries, and pains of Myles' life in Toronto slowly but surely melt away. Surrounded by the unshakeable kindness and generosity of Miss Pearl and the soulful Rastafarian Moses, Myles experiences a shift in life focus when his vacation for the purpose of healing becomes so much more: a journey of spiritual enlightenment, culture shock, and the humbling confusion of love. A profoundly moving and deeply spiritual experience, Whatever Sticks Most takes you on a journey that will forever change the way you look at work, life, and love.
