Each shopping day hubby and I have a coffee and people watch for half an hour or so. It’s become a favorite ritual. Each time we visit our favorite cafe, I purchase a fortune chocolate to have with my coffee. The following are some of the fortunes I’ve received. Of course, they’ve all come true
1. The smallest things in life will be your greatest adventures.
2. A special someone will bring excitement into your life.
3. Make your own happiness your first priority.
4. Someone will return a favor.
5. Take time before you make a promise.
6. Someone will dazzle you with words.
Probably some of the authors of the books I’ve read lately. Can you say writer’s envy…in the nicest possible way!
7. A good day for communicating.
8. You will find something that you thought was lost.
9. A surprise opportunity is coming your way.
10. Complacency can stop your progress.
11. A conversation will reveal a secret.
12. You will be made an offer you can’t refuse.
13. You will find a new outlet for your creative talent.
This is my most recent fortune and hubby and I both immediately thought of the new direction my writing is taking. I’m attempting to write for a Harlequin line. Here’s hoping this one comes true!
Which fortune would you most like to find in a fortune chocolate and why?

I’ve never had a fortune chocolate before. They sound good, though!
Good luck with the Harlequin line!

I love the last one! Makes it sound like a mafia thing…
It sounds like a wonderful ritual you have with your husband. I need to start doing something like that again with mine.

Fortune chocolates? New to me; I’ll have to go find some!
As for what I’d like to find (and have it come true), well, that’s easy. Best-seller status for Trevor’s Song. Or just a publication deal with a big house.
Good luck with the Harlequin line!!!

Good luck on your writing for Harlequin!
The most interesting fortune I ever got was right before I got married my friends went to our favorite chinese restaurant and brought me back fortune cookie. It was something to the effect of “You will take a great journey.” Well two days after I got married I moved to Denmark.

LOL. I should start writing down my fortune cookie offerings.
Great idea Shelley.

I am with you on the 13th one. Sold my first book to Ellora’s Cave and had a second request for a full from Harlequin. Here’s hoping it’s the best for both of us!!!

Fabulous list. For my fortune? To see Dee Days find a new home. Why? Because it’s good and it is close to my heart.
Happy T13!

I should start buying fortune chocolates.
Good luck with your new writing direction

I’ve never seen fortune chocolates, either. (I’m so deprived!)
I’d like to get one that says I’m going to win the lottery. Yes, I’m crass and materialistic.

There was a fortune in that chocolate? Um… I’m digesting it’s advice.
August 2nd, 2007 at 3:39 pm · Link
What a great list!
I’d like to see one that says “Your every dream will come true.” Man, have I got some dreams.

I absolutely love fortune cookies. I found a box of chocolate ones at BJ’s, a wholesale store in GA, and they are so awesome!

Yum–a chocolate fortune cookie sounds like fun. I think I’d like to find ‘All your dreams will come true’…

Definitely can’t go wrong with chocolate and coffee. It’s a NZ company that makes these fortune chocolates. Very nice they are too!
Babe – you wanna be careful. You can get indigestion that way
