VOLUME 8, NUMBER 12
Keith Tonkel A high school English teacher gave a young Keith Tonkel a list of 30 careers ranging from doctor and lawyer to bus driver and garbage collector and asked him to rate each career in order of his interest. He rated “minister” number 28 – lower than garbage collector and other undesirables. Today Tonkel is a well-known and beloved Methodist minister in the metropolitan area. He has served more than 40 years as pastor of Wells United Methodist Church.
Trisha Richardson “I don’t sit still well,” Trisha Richardson says of herself – and that’s readily apparent in her ability to balance family, work, community involvement, and fitness activities, seemingly with ease. A desire to make things better in her community – wherever she’s been – had already shaped Trisha’s life philosophy long before she moved to Madison 14 years ago. She continues that tradition in the metro area, because, as she said, “I don’t know any other way.”

When only a couple of years later he announced he indeed had
decided to become a minister, his parents were amazingly supportive. His dad, Dennie, a professional musician who played with the
likes of Al Hirt and Pete Fountain and was for years a member of the band on WWL’s “Dawn Busters” radio program in New Orleans, worried about the financial consequences of such a choice. He
responded, “My God, there’s no future in that.” His mother, Louise, more perceptive, announced, “I always suspected that.”
Keith grew up in New Orleans and Bay St. Louis with three siblings:
sister Denise, brothers Edward and Bob. “We were a good family – crazy but good.” Theirs was not a church-affiliated family, but, as
Keith says, “You can’t grow up in South Louisiana without becoming somewhat involved with the Catholic church.” He attended occasional services and even served for a time as an altar boy.
Ultimately he chose the United Methodist church because of its
“think and let think” policy. He was ordained as a local preacher in the Methodist church in 1954.
He set his eyes on Millsaps College, but he failed to apply for admission. “I just
drove up to the registrar’s office in my $25 car with $8.43 in my pocket and said I wanted to enroll. And the staff members were great. They did everything they
could to help me out.” After his graduation from Millsaps and Emory University School of Theology, in 1962 Tonkel was ordained an elder in the Methodist church.
Tonkel met his wife, Pat, now deceased, after his graduation from seminary in
1962. She was a clinical pathologist in Gulfport, where he was assigned to Guinn Memorial United Methodist Church. He had completed treatment for cancer at St. Dominic Hospital and University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Tonkel
attributes his success in the illness to “good doctors and God’s praying people.” He served as pastor of Guinn Memorial Church for seven years.
One year after their wedding Keith felt a strong motivation to serve an inner-city
church. When the district superintendent offered him a move to Wells Church in Jackson, it was with the caveat that no salary was attached to the position. The
church people would pay him what they could when they could, but it might not meet Methodist church requirements for clergy pay. Wells Church was precisely what Tonkel had in mind, and he jumped right in.
Betty Quinn, a longtime Wells member, was there and speaks her words with
conviction. “Our church was in dire straits in 1969. We had 23 members and
children and grandchildren decorate Keith’s study, and it has been said that with very little encouragement Keith will tell you all you want to know (and maybe
more) about his grandchildren. Several foster children, including Ricky, who lovingly cared for Pat during times Keith had to be out of town, are still active in Tonkel family life.
Anthony says, “There are not enough good words to say about my dad. I wish
everyone could grow up in that household. My father and I spent a lot of time
together. When I was growing up he used to take me with him to interview people for his WSLI radio program. The family loved to travel. We all enjoyed especially the West and hiked in the Grand Canyon, went to Albuquerque, the Badlands,
loved going to the western mountains. Dad was from the coast originally, and we all liked to travel to the coast to go crabbing, play in the surf and just run on the
beach. We liked to ride bicycles, attend movies and look at cars. My dad was not
much interested in sports and was likely to ask me, ‘Did the Saints get a home run yesterday?’ But he loved to exercise with us. When I was in high school a group of us from the church would get up early to jog and play basketball, then have
breakfast at Primos before heading to school. And he was and still is really com-
petitive at ping pong. He loves his opponents but when he is playing ping pong he loves winning more.” Keith disputes this (sort of).
At age 77, Tonkel is again in the midst of dealing with his old foe, cancer. He has
much dissention; we were on the verge of dissolution. A large group had left and
“officially” retired but continues to serve Wells on a year-to-year appointment,
elderly; we had only three children in our membership. The church was broke.
“Finally the Dawn,” “GodStuff” and “HeartStuff.” His latest, a children’s book,
established a new church. The remaining members, by and large, were loyal but We feared closure by the bishop.”
“We were so thankful to see this young man. He was enthusiastic, eager to get to
work, and so talented. He and Pat were a great couple,” Quinn recalls. “His very
first sermon was about Ezekiel and the resurrection of the dry bones – very appro-
although his health has restricted him somewhat. He has written several books, “Red Door, Green Door,” is in preparation for going to press. He looks forward to traveling more, especially in Europe. Anthony and Keith took a European river cruise in 2012 and have another big excursion planned this year.
Between treatments at Hederman Cancer Center at the Mississippi Baptist
priate for our situation.”
Medical Center, Tonkel remains with his congregation as attentive, as warm and
preaching attracted followers and brought him invitations to preach at numerous
reminds me ‘You are not this disease, so move on with your life and work.’ ”
Wells began to improve and strengthen immediately upon his arrival. Tonkel’s
other churches. He initiated a devotional radio program and taught a Sunday
caring as ever. He says with a big grin, “Daughter Shelley lovingly and strongly
School lesson on “The Methodist Hour.” But it was his gifts as a pastor that
cemented the love of his flock. He asked to be called by his first name, and, in turn, was on a first name basis with everyone. He commenced dinners at his
home for Wells’ members six at a time so he could get to know everyone on an
individual basis. He visited the sick and remembered birthdays with a personal
note. He declined remuneration for weddings and funerals, saying that was a part of his duties as their minister. He became a leader in civil rights and has made it clear over the years that all, black or white, gay or straight, hippies or socialites, are welcome at Wells.
According to Quinn, Tonkel has served three Wells churches in reality: the older
and more traditional Methodist church, the Wells of hippies and college kids from other churches who attended in blue jeans and sandals, and the current Wells
with a strong middle class, which receives all kinds of people, all ages, with programs for everyone. “And Keith is the glue that holds us together,” says Quinn.
“We are a wide variety of people; he relates to us all.” Today Wells’ membership stands at 800.
The entire Jackson community enjoys Wellsfest, an annual drug- and alcohol-
free yard party and music festival. The fest was suggested by Malcolm White as a
vehicle to raise money for the support of the church. Keith had performed White’s marriage ceremony. Now, 30 years and an intake of some one million dollars
later, its success as a money-raiser cannot be denied. Only the church turned the tables on that original idea. Keith explains, “The church people decided to give
the proceeds away, to use the money raised as outreach for our community.” In 2013 the purse went to the Good Samaritan Center.
During their 40-plus years Keith and Pat reared their three children, Anthony,
Tracy and Shelley, and numerous foster children in the arms of Wells Church.

........................................... “I don’t sit still well,” Trisha Richardson says of herself – and that’s readily apparent in her ability to balance family, work, community involvement, and fitness activities, seemingly with ease. A desire to make things better in her community – wherever she’s been – had already shaped Trisha’s life philosophy long before she moved to Madison 14 years ago. She continues that tradition in the metro area, because, as she said, “I don’t know any other way.” Growing up in Fayetteville, Ark., it was the combination of her parents’ values, and her own willingness to pitch in where she saw a need, that set her on a path to do what she can, when she can, to help out wherever she can. Trisha met her future husband Jeff during her freshman year at the University of Arkansas in her hometown of Fayetteville. She was an elementary education major; and Jeff, a native of North Little Rock, was studying electrical engineering.

The college sweethearts were married on December 22, 1990. “Jeff finished college the day before our wedding, and I finished a year later,” Trisha said.

“After graduation we moved to Russellville, Ark., where Jeff worked for Entergy Nuclear at Arkansas Nuclear One. I worked for Child Development Inc., as a Head Start director, then family literacy specialist with the home-based research project, EvenStart.” It was in this role that Trisha said she worked with some of the poorest families in rural Arkansas, many of whose young children needed help learning the most basic of skills, such as how to hold a pencil, how to hold a book, and even how to draw a straight line, to aid in developing fine motor skills. She said witnessing this firsthand opened her eyes to a different world of poverty and need that she hadn’t seen before. “After 5 1/2 years we had our first child, Molly, and then three years later, Macy,” she said. “I transitioned to being a stayat-home mom. In 2000 Jeff accepted a position at Entergy Nuclear’s headquarters here in Jackson, where he is now the director of major projects.” Through the years, Trisha’s growing list of involvement in community service projects has practically taken on a life of its own, as she has identified areas where she believed she could make a difference. Her activities have included the Madison Central Parent-Teacher Organization, (where she has worked on committees for several major fund-raisers); the Junior League of Jackson (spending most of her active years serving as the chair for many community health-related projects and as the community health chairman); Christians In Action (currently serving as the president); and the United Way’s Leadership for Women Council, which is developing ideas to combat reading issues in prekindergarten students in the Jackson metro area. She is also serving as chair of Jackson Prep’s fourth annual Heart of the Home fund-raiser in April. (see below) To that file, add Trisha’s passion for running and biking, her teenage daughters’ busy school activities, and the family’s commitment to their church, and it’s easy to see how her calendar stays crowded. Despite the lively pace, Trisha said the family has tried to maintain a healthconscious lifestyle. “Healthy living is a way of living at our house,” she said. “I have a family history
full of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, so we try to incorporate fun and moderation in our diet and exercise. We love to eat out but we do so with a healthy mindset.” Part of that mindset for her is spending “free” time logging miles as a serious runner. “I have done several full marathons and 16 half marathons,” and she has been in training for her next full marathon in Miami, she said. She reached a new fitness milestone last May in her Madison neighborhood of Reunion when she participated in her first triathlon. Trisha’s passion for staying active outdoors began to develop at a young age, thanks in large part to her determination to keep up with a sports-minded younger brother. “Growing up with a brother just two years younger meant I hung out with him a lot, and that included his friends and playing basketball in the driveway with all of them,” she said. “I learned how to hold my own on the basketball court against them, which led me to try out for my junior high basketball team. I had so much fun practicing every day with the team and doing something that pushed me physically. I think that’s where I developed a love a being active and running.” And when she felt that her creative side needed a challenge, she was able to turn her love for fashion into a job as an area manager for a local clothing retailer. “After years of being in the junior league, I went to sustainer status, and was worried about having too much time on my hands,” she said. “So I went to work for a friend, Jacqui Holmes, at Frock Fashions in Madison. “What began as a two-mornings-aweek hobby has turned into a full-time area manager job for our three stores. Two of these shops were recently opened in Flowood and Oxford. It’s so much fun helping people enhance their wardrobes with the latest trends but still keeping it classy. It’s a great creative outlet for me.” And now that her daughters are teenagers, Trisha still stays involved in their schools’ activities, this year as outreach chair for Madison Central’s PTO board, and as Heart of the Home chair for Jackson Prep. Seventeen-year-old Molly is now a sen-
.................. ior at Madison Central High School and mentors younger students, works four days each week, and keeps a challenging class load of several AP classes. Macy is 14 and a freshman at Jackson Prep, where she is involved in the Fusion Show Choir, the Spirit Team, and the Drama Club. Trisha said being transplants in Mississippi seems to have worked out well for the whole crew. “We absolutely love Mississippi,” she said. “We were here about six months when we could’ve moved back to Arkansas but we said no. We love the community of Madison and Jackson. The arts have been wonderful. Our children got to participate in the strings program at Madison Station (elementary school), and learned so much about all the arts while they were there. “We love that we can go to the symphony or a play at New Stage. We love being so close to the beach. We have the wonderful Southern life but with some fun big city appeal.” But no matter how hectic things may get between Jeff’s busy job, Trisha’s community commitments and their daughters’ school activities, she said she and her husband always try to keep first things first. “The major focus in our family is our love of God and trying to be more like Christ every day,” she said. “We have been a part of the Meadowbrook Church of Christ in Jackson since we moved here, and have a deep love for our church. It has been a place open to learning, studying and growth in our spiritual journey. It also has been a place of spiritual nourishment for our children in the youth programs. “The people at Meadowbrook have helped us raise our children by offering examples, advice from their experiences on raising their children, and loving us like family, which is such a blessing since all of our family is in Arkansas. “I enjoy teaching the fifth and sixthgraders and love to meet them every Sunday morning and hear about their week and discuss our lesson with these sweet minds.” Trisha said it was her parents’ strong faith convictions that helped shape her desire to reach out into her community to help those in need. “The values that my parents passed down gave me my love of Jesus and my
Molly, Trisha, Jeff and Macy Richardson
faith. From early on I could see the love they have for Jesus and his community of followers. They instilled in me that the greatest command was to love Jesus and my neighbor. They did this consistently, without waiver. I understand and appreciate that more now, as I pray to teach my girls the same lessons.” But that wasn’t all that was emphasized at home, she said. There were expectations of her and her brother and sister to always do their best, no matter the task. “My parents instilled a good work ethic,” she said. “I remember my dad having my sister, brother and me dig weeds out of the yard or rake leaves. Then we would help in our family garden or clean the kitchen after dinner. “I never liked doing that stuff, but I see now how valuable that was as a child. Both he and my mom would make us do these jobs until they were done correctly. They taught me to work as hard as I could on whatever I was doing - and to do the job well. It was never about just getting something done, it was about getting it done plus doing the best job I could. Doing things halfway was never a good alternative.” “If I instill those things in my daughters I will be happy. Those have been very important to me as I have walked through life. My grandmother’s favorite Bible verse
was Micah 6:8: ‘See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly walk with God,’ and that sums up where I fall on my philosophy of life.” Trisha also appreciates a statement attributed to Mahatma Ghandi that speaks to her community involvement. “I love a quote by Ghandi that says, ‘Be the change you want to see in the world.’ It reminds me of what I want to do but it is also the way my parents taught me. You don’t sit back and complain about things

Heart of the Home Trisha Richardson of Madison is serving as chair of Jackson Prep’s fourth annual Heart of the Home fund-raiser, set for April 10 and 11. Funds raised will go toward the teacher endowment fund as well as technologies and enhancements at the school. As part of the event, an evening gala is being hosted by Kathleen and Bill Geary in Jackson on the evening of April 10. It will feature foods, desserts and flowers. The annual home tour will be conducted from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., April 11 at the home of Myriam and Bob Harris of Jackson.

around you. You do something to make things better. I believe that’s where I get my desire to be involved in the community.” Balancing the pace of their lives is something Trisha has seemed to manage almost seamlessly, as things have fallen into place at each phase of their lives. In short, it’s become a way of life. “I can’t remember not being this busy,” she said with a laugh. “I’m not sure how we make it work. I think Jeff’s travel with his job, his busy work schedule managing major projects for Entergy, and my busyness have always been a part of our married life, so we just don’t know any difference. “Jeff is much better than I am about making sure we have date nights, and we eat out a lot. Our friends laugh because they say I have a great kitchen, but I am the least likely one of our group to use it. Jeff never complains about eating out or wanting a home-cooked meal, so we are perfect together.” When it comes to the everyday give-and-take of work and family, Trisha cuts Jeff some slack, easing the pressure when things could get hectic. “Part of our way of life is I want him to be the best he can be, so if that means him being busy, then the girls and I hold down the home front so he can do his job and not worry about what’s going on at home,” she said. “I believe in dealing with what you have and making it the best. It works for our family.”

HEAD OF SCHOOL
T
he Jackson Prep Parent and Teachers Association (PAT) will present Heart of the Home 2014. This annual community event is open to the public, and scheduled for April 10-11. It will feature two homes, with a focus on the heart of every home - the kitchen. The two-day event kicks off with a gala celebration on the evening of Thursday, April 10 at the home of Bill and Kathleen Geary and will feature live entertainment by Swing de France. The Heart of the Home Tour will be held Friday, April 11, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., at the Kirkwood home of Bob and Myriam Harris and include special events such as the Market Gallery and Gourmet Café. Half of the proceeds from Heart of the Home go directly to provide additional funds for the Jackson Prep faculty through the teacher endowment fund. The remainder of the proceeds will be used for academic programs and school activities. Tour tickets are only $10 and can be purchased online. Visit the Web site at heartofthehomeinfo.com for more information and sponsorship opportunities.
During the mid-’90s, Jackson Prep initiated Heart of the Home, an event held on Mother’s Day weekend that focused on tours of kitchens in several homes in the Jackson area. Sponsored by the Parent and Teachers Association (PAT), it was the only fund-raiser held during the school year. After several successful years of kitchen tours, the PAT decided to embark on other options for its annual fundraising project. During the 2010-11 school year, the PAT decided to revive the Heart of the Home project. Now held in April, the home tour was re-introduced with additional attractions designed to appeal to the community - food prepared by top chefs, an online auction, and a gala celebration for businesses and individual sponsors. Head of School Susan Lindsay Half of the proceeds from Heart of the Home go directly to provide additional compensation for Prep’s talented and committed faculty through the teacher endowment fund. Other proceeds are used for academic programs, technology, physical plant improvements, and numerous co-curricular activities at the school. Members of the PAT work tirelessly on Heart of the Home each year, and they are indeed a vital link to the success of the school. We are also grateful for the sponsors, homeowners, and volunteers who make this event possible. Susan R. Lindsay Head of School

EVENTS SPONSOR GALA
The fund-raiser will begin with a celebratory gala on the evening of Thursday, April 10 at the Eastover home of Bill and Kathleen Geary. The house was built in 1961 by the original owners, Tom and Betty Scott. The Gearys did a major renovation project that was completed in 2012. Tim Taylor was the architect who created the remodel, which included opening up the house to flow for the entertaining the Gearys love to do. The remodel also included adding a pool and pool house. Kathleen loves so many things about the house but especially that it now works well as a family home and will transition with them as they move toward an empty nest. The thing that drew her to the house initially was the location. She has always loved the neighborhood and all her neighbors who are dear friends. The evening will include live entertainment by Swing de Paris as well as an opportunity to preview several of the top online auction items. Fabulous hors d’oeuvres and dessert selections round out the night.
PARENT AND TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
I am so grateful for the privilege of serving as president of the Jackson Prep Parent and Teachers Association (PAT) this year. As a former student and parent of three children who have attended Prep, it has been a wonderful opportunity. The goal of the PAT is to come alongside the school and support their efforts in the Cynthia Carter, education and training of our students. Every Prep parent is automatically a member Jackson Prep PAT president of the PAT. There are over 100 positions on PAT committees – so every parent has the opportunity to be involved! We have moms and dads coordinating grade level activities, planning for graduation night, providing teacher lunches and snacks, helping with the school store, recruiting prospective students, providing music and breakfast for many aspects of student enrichment, and helping with our Global Leadership. We have two fund-raisers – our junior class garage sale to fund prom and other senior activities, and our main fund-raiser “Heart of the Home.” All these supportive parents enrich our school environment tremendously, and most importantly forge relationships between parents, and between the parents and staff. These wonderful and dedicated people are what make Jackson Prep special. Cynthia Carter, President Jackson Prep PAT

Architect Sam Coker was able to put all their ideas to paper and builder John Holt made the house a reality. They wanted a livable home with large open areas for entertaining. Myriam enjoys working in the formal gardens that surround the house. The couple had personal input into the decor with help from several local designers. Within the home, the Market Gallery will offer items for purchase, including beautiful, hand-made pottery by local artist Courtney Peters. There will be ongoing heart-healthy cooking demonstrations by Chef Luis Bruno using fresh products and seasonal produce. Flower and herb arrangements will also be showcased.

Master of Ceremonies Wilson Stribling announced each debutante as she entered the ballroom through a garden setting with floral arrangements created with Red Intuition, Freedom, Charlotte and Black Magic roses, Annie Black orchids, Blackout lilies, Safari Sunset, curly willow, and a variety of seasonal greenery. The debutante was met by her presenter who escorted her around the ballroom, presenting her to the large gathering of family and friends. Each debutante carried a bouquet with a mixture of Red Intuition, Freedom, Charlotte and Black Magic roses. AT THE CONCLUSION of the ceremony the debutantes and their presenters returned to the ballroom and the debutantes acknowledged their families by curtsying to them. Music for the presentation ceremony was provided by Jimmy Jarrett. Following the formal presentation, the Debutante Club of Mississippi hosted a reception for the debutantes and their guests. Later in the evening, the debutantes and their families returned to the grand ballroom for dinner and dancing. The first dance was reserved for the debutante and her presenter and the second dance for the debutante and her escort, con-
tinuing a long established tradition of the debutante presentations. Guests were invited to join the debutantes for the third dance, with all enjoying dancing until midnight to the music of Class Reunion. The party season for the 2013 debutantes began in mid-December with a brunch at the Mississippi Museum of Art at which debutantes and guests filled stockings with toys and other treats to take to patients at the Blair E. Batson Children’s Hospital. A series of luncheons, dinners, dances and other theme parties, including a dinner dance at the Capri Theater, a Moni Angel Painting Party at the Mississippi Crafts Center, and a Deb and Dad Luncheon at Cedar Grove Mansion in Vicksburg, continued through the holidays. The Debutante Club of Mississippi Inc., was organized by Mrs. James Dorsey Ball whose wish was to continue the custom of annual debutante presentations begun by the original University Club in 1933. Those early presentations were held in the drawing room of the University Club, located on the second floor of the Lamar Life Building on Capitol Street. When the University Club closed in 1938, Mrs. Ball became the sponsor as well as the advisor of the newly formed Debutante Club of Mississippi, serving the club generously for many years. The Debutante Club of Mississippi is composed of women who made their debuts under the auspices of the University Club and The Debutante Club of Mississippi.

s it possible to enter a room of strangers and know which one could be your soul mate just by scanning the crowd? We all know looks can be deceiving the gal with the pretty eyes or the tall dark handsome guy that grabs your attention in a room full of strangers may not be at all the type of person you could spend the rest of your life with once you actually meet them. It’s no different than opening a box of chocolates and surmising what is encapsulated within the confines of the hard chocolate shell without biting into one. Forrest Gump’s mamma was onto something when she told him that life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get. I’ve discovered that some boxes have more variety than others. Some boxes have pretty packages and very little substance. And sometimes what you see is what you get – if the box says 12 chocolate turtles there’s no chance you’re going to bite into a coconut cluster. Life has many surprises like the Russell Stover’s box. We carefully poke our fingers in the bottom of the chocolates to see if they’re filled with the dreaded

pink or orange stuff like your crazy Aunt Sue and her third husband only to be surprised by a gooey cherry cordial like your sweet grandmother. This portion of our life is all about chance or destiny if you will. The composition of our family unit, our parents and siblings are luck of the draw - you get what you get and you certainly can’t put them back in the box once you’ve seen what’s inside them. Then, there’s the Hersey’s Pot of Gold box filled with very few surprises. This is the career-focused chocolate box, filled with crunchy toffees similar to a tough boss and nutty combinations akin to our co-workers. We have more control and less fear when we open the pot of gold box. For the most part, we take what we get and have more happy surprises than disappointments. The box most like our spouses and friends is the Godiva chocolate box where we get to choose which truffles and candies to put in our box of chocolates. In my opinion, this is the best box of them all – but it does require an emotional and financial commitment. The Godiva box is meant to be savored and I’ve found that people (like me) don’t want to share this box of chocolates with anyone. So, why do we like some candy and not others? According to psychologist Sigmund Schwartz, your favorite candy reveals important insights into your personality: CARAMELS - You’re a natural born charmer who’s as smooth as this melt in your mouth candy in social situations. You also have the gift of gab and effortlessly get yourself out of most jams. Although you’re often forgetful and don’t always follow through on your promises, people still crave your company.

and tend to make long-term plans. Your passion for order and detail assures that you’ll achieve whatever goals you set. Like the smooth texture of the chocolate you crave, you appreciate consistency. You’re loyal to those you love and the rock solid center of your family. CREAM-FILLED CHOCOLATES - You are the patient, serene person who others turn to for advice and loving support. And just like the vanilla center of your treat, you exude an aura of security that children especially appreciate. Sweet natured and sincere, even strangers are apt to trust you completely on first meeting. MALTED MILK BALLS - You’re endlessly curious, forever delving into matters looking for hidden meaning. And just like the crunch of your favorite candy, you pursue stimulation to keep your life exciting. You’re happy to explore uncharted territories in search of the ultimate life experience that will affect all your senses. While a preference in confection may loosely describe your character, the type of chocolate you crave says something about your personality, according to Jessica Layne. The filling you choose for your Valentine chocolates is even more revealing.
FOODWISE
OUTER SHELL: MILK CHOCOLATE - You’re a kid at heart. There’s an innocence about you that others adore. You are very nostalgic but have tendency to live too much in the past. DARK CHOCOLATE - You’re a problem solver. Always looking ahead, you are a true visionary. You have a love and appreciation for worldly things but can be materialistic at times. WHITE CHOCOLATE - You’re a peace keeper. You seek truth and fairness in the world and with others. Keeping all options open, you rarely close any doors, occasionally making you a bit of a fence straddler.
FILLING: ALMONDS - quick on your feet, friendly, and an achiever. BRAZIL NUTS - diplomatic, cultured, and sociable, a perfectionist. HAZELNUT - earthy, spiritual, and harmonious. PEANUTS - down to earth, athletic, and family orientated. PECANS - youthful, traditional, and thoughtful. WALNUTS - rugged, a story-teller, and a true friend. APRICOTS - gentle, patient, and wise. COCONUT - creative, passionate, a dreamer. CHERRY - energetic, passionate, and exciting. ORANGE - dependable, spiritual, the caregiver. RASPBERRY - old fashioned, loyal, and a collector of things. STRAWBERRY - an idealist, compassionate, and romantic.
BUTTERSCOTCH - dependable, obedient, and full of integrity. CARAMEL - dependable, steady, and observant. FUDGE - sensual, unique, and a visionary. MARSHMALLOW - social, talkative, and optimistic. PEPPERMINT - active, optimistic, and open-minded. My chocolate profile is chocolate bars [dark chocolate] + caramel + almonds. Which combination best suits your taste? Does it match your personality? This Valentine’s Day I’m going to get a box of chocolates and rent Forrest Gump. If Bubba could go on and on about shrimp combinations, can you imagine what could be found in a box of chocolates? Chocolate truffles, chocolate whips, chocolate roman nougats, chocolate almond clusters, chocolate cashew clusters, cashew peanut clusters, chocolate hazelnut clusters, chocolate coconut clusters, chocolate pecan walnut clusters, chocolate butter cream caramels, chocolate coconut creams, chocolate vanilla creams, chocolate maple nut creams, chocolate butter creams, chocolate vanilla butter creams, chocolate molasses chews, chocolate toffee, chocolate almond nougat chews; the list is infinite as just about anything can be covered in chocolate and put in a box. And that’s all I have to say about that.
