    About this ebook

    Soul searching is a process that happens to most of us without one even giving it a label befitting of this very necessary lifetime phenomena. It is essential to human growth and involves self- exploration, trial and error providing an opportunity to find one's groove in life. Chocolate lovers love sweet things which can be symbolic for almost anything including a sweet lie or some sweet lovin'. I hope you, the reader, get to see yourself in some of the same places and spaces in time whether it be love, lust, or levitation and elation through divine inspiration. Love, laugh and live a little. Do a little soul searching.

      To my families:

      The Porters, Plunketts, Ashmores, and Allens, I only wish to add flavor to the pot and make you smile when you think of me.

      Soul Searchin’ for Chocolate Lovers. For many years, humans have always mingled in the most auspicious ways. On one hand we have to interact with one another to be able to find how each subject thinks. On the other hand, we mask our inner most thoughts and feelings to thwart the possibility of misunderstanding. How many times has someone told you ‘You are so crazy?’ Well, I know for certain that if I had that proverbial nickel, I’d be rich. However, I do most of my research for shock value anyway. I love to speak of bedroom mannerisms as jokes and the seriousness of relationships as the punch lines. Once entangled in conversation so enthralling, men and ladies tend to let their hair down and join into the fray with some wild stories of their own. I can only say that I wish I, by now, could have heard some things that make me blush. Yet, to this day, I have not. My spirit is an openness that brings fear to those who are not as free as I am. I love to love those who know how to love me back. FEAR? I have none when dealing with my passions. We all have to do the soul searching to find what is lodged in our soul. I was born to be misunderstood and exalted for it as a trendsetter. My pack of wild dogs runs at night, howling at the moon, and returning to be satisfied after the hunt. We thrive on emotions that run too deep to ripple. If adrenaline is the
