Dear Jen,
Several weeks ago, as you were perusing the candy aisle at Target to find little truffles for a little gift for a little friend (well…he’s actually not that little…), you saw the little tag - 2 for $5 - on these chocolate bars. And maybe, just maybe, you thought about Future Jen and how on a Monday, having had a rough morning and having forgotten her lunch bag with little snacks for comfort and energy, she would wish wish wish for something rich and delicious. Shaking her head, sure she’d only find index cards and dried out dry erase markers, she’d have low expectations as she pawed through her drawers. But there they would be! Two beautiful, delicious, decadent, dark chocolate bars! Two squares would offer some relief and reprieve, some solace and sustenance for the soul. And how now-comforted Jen, would wrap it all back up, and tuck it away for future Future Jen for when she’s needing a little bit of love. Jen, you rock. Love, Former Future Jen
