For this recipe, an 8-inch pan should be used. This will create blocks of the proper size, which is key to get the hot chocolate to taste right. Line your pan with parchment paper, to keep the chocolate from sticking. Once it's transferred into the pan, smooth it out as much as you can. Then, pop it into the refrigerator to cool overnight. While the chocolate is still warm, you can add any fun toppings you like. Sprinkle some crushed peppermint, some caramel, or even some mini marshmallows! Just remember, whatever you top the chocolate with will be going in your hot chocolate. After your chocolate has solidified in the refrigerator, it's time to create your blocks. Carefully, turn the pan upside down to place the chocolate on a clean surface. The parchment paper will be handy here! Then, use a sharp knife to cut your chocolate into blocks. Make six lines going down the block, and six going across the block. Cut on those lines to get the proper sized chocolate blocks. To cut your chocolate most easily, run the blade of your knife under hot water. This will make your cuts smoother and easier. After your chocolate is cut into blocks, carefully push wooden lollipop or candy apple sticks into the blocks. Make sure the sticks you choose are sturdy enough to hold the chocolate, and long enough so that it can be used to stir hot milk. You can also press spoons into the chocolate, so that you have a stirring spoon once the chocolate melts!

Summary: Pour the chocolate into a pan. Cut your chocolate into blocks. Add the wooden sticks.

This will give your bulbs a bit of time to get established before they are tested by the extreme temperatures of winter or summer. If you plant in the spring, it is possible that your lilies will produce blooms almost right away. If you've purchased frozen bulbs from a nursery, set them out for a few hours before planting. This will allow them to thaw out, making temperature shock less likely. Lily seeds can be grown indoors at any time of the year, as long as you use a lighting system. But, they will require that you keep the temperature between 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 21 degrees Celsius) during the growing period. Get a trowel to break up the soil at least 12-15 inches (30.5 to 38 cm) in the planting area. Another method is to dig into the soil with your hands, while breaking up any large chunks. Then, sift your hands through the area to make sure that it is broken apart enough. If you are working in a garden space, pull out any weeds or other plants so that each bulb has at least 2 inches (5 cm) or protected surface area. If the hole is too shallow, then the bulb may gradually become exposed on the surface and rot. The extra inches of soil protect the bulbs from lower temperatures, too. Each hole should be spaced at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart, although more room is even better. If you have a large number of bulbs to place, before you begin digging, take out a piece of paper and create a rough sketch of where you want to place each one. Lilies often look great when you group them into bundles of three to five. Pull out any rocks or hard clumps from the walls or bottoms of the holes. These obstacles can block the lilies from fully growing. Generally speaking, the soil surrounding the hole should be loosely packed, as this will make it easier for the bulbs to take root. Hold the bulb steady and lower it slowly into the soil. The pointy end of the bulb should be facing upwards. Once the bulb is down, fill the areas surrounding it with extra loose soil. Add dirt until the hole and bulb are fully covered and even with the ground. Choose a high-potassium fertilizer and apply it directly after planting. Liquid fertilizers are quite easy to use and come premixed or with instructions on how you can attach the container directly to your garden hose. Make sure to apply the fertilizer equally and repeat this process every two weeks until six weeks post-flowering. Be aware that other people choose to add no fertilizer at all and have good results, too. It really depends on the quality of your soil. Once you've fertilized, protect the bulbs even more by adding a few inches of mulch on top of the soil. This mulch will fight against freezing and, if it is cedar, scare away some bugs, too.

Summary: Plant bulbs in late fall or early spring. Loosen the soil. If you have heavy clay or sandy soil, amend the soil by mixing in compost. Dig a 6-inch (15 cm) deep hole for each bulb. Remove any debris from the holes. Put a single bulb into each hole. Fertilize. Cover the lily bed with a layer of mulch.

. Many people experience a close-call with death themselves or experience a loss that spurs them to enjoy life and live it fully. Whether this is your experience or not, it's never too late to give life your all and live fully. Do the things you want to do, even if they're scary. Live life on your terms and take control. Think of something you've always wanted to do, but feels scary to you. Challenge yourself to do it! Maybe you'll love it and pick up a new hobby, like paragliding or dance classes. Take big steps like traveling or starting a new career. Or you can take little steps, like talking to a stranger or trying a new restaurant. Much of spirituality centers around what happens after you die and gaining a sense of comfort in what happens after this life. Most spiritual traditions talk about what happens after death and not to fear it. If you're interested in spirituality, explore what feels right to you. You may wish to join a religious organization, attend meditation classes, or explore your options until you find one that fulfills you. Many people have a fear of death, so it can be interesting to hear how they cope with it. Talk to people around you about their beliefs about death and how they cope with any anxiety. Ask them about their beliefs and how they help or hinder their attitude toward death. You can say, "I wonder about death and what will happen. Do you think about that, too? How do you deal with it?" You might fear death because you don't understand it or fear not knowing. Much like the future, what happens in and through death in unknown. If you believe in a higher power, notice how your beliefs affect your attitude toward death. Ask yourself if you're living in a way that's aligned with your beliefs. If you don't know your beliefs about death, spend some time reflecting. What do you believe? How does that make you feel? Thinking about death often makes people feel uncomfortable and even depressed. Yet, the more you think about death (even just five minutes each day for one week), the more comfortable you become and the less fearful you feel. Be willing to enter into a space that is unfamiliar and scary knowing that you'll be okay and perhaps even grow from these thoughts and feelings. While thinking about death can initially make you feel depressed, over time it can help you lift your depression.
Summary: Enjoy life fully Explore your spirituality. Ask other people. Consider your beliefs about death and afterlife. Accept your mortality.
