Secret: I am NOT into television programming. I watch NO daytime television & very little prime-time television. I’m a Movie person! I love movies whether they are current or some of our best classics like Casablanca, Gone with the Wind and of course my all time favorite love story: An Affair to Remember. So it is no surprise that I am anxiously waiting for the Academy Awards to take place this weekend. But to me, it’s not just about the movies, it’s all about the winner’s acceptance speech.
I remember being a Wee Maria and watching the Academy Awards waiting to hear THE acceptance speech that would move me, bring me to tears, or make me laugh. I used to dream about what I might say in my Academy Award acceptance speech (never say never, right?). Who would I thank? Would I remember everyone? Would I be funny or crying hysterically?
So how do you create the perfect Thank you speech or Toast?
Every toast or thank you speech should be heartfelt. It doesn’t have to be long, but meaningful. When you speak from true emotions you will be able to spread your joy & thanks to others. So instead of being sarcastic or overly dramatic, just open your heart to give a gracious toast or meaningful Thank you. If I won a big award, I would probably thank my husband for being such a big supporter of mine & encouraging me when I thought someone would tell me “No”. Sometimes we can be our own holding block, so make sure you allow yourself to excel, add hard work & dedication and you will be a winner in no time.
Merci Chocolates graciously sent me a Joy of Thank You Red Carpet Kit which included a box of their rich European chocolate. The variety box included flavors such as Cream Truffle, Hazelnut-Almond, Praline-Creme, and Dark Cream. How was I to refuse chocolate? I’m not sure who enjoyed it more, me or my husband who has a horrible sweet tooth! Between the milk & dark chocolate variety in every box, my family all felt like winners. Since 1965 merci is available in over 70 countries. This gives you an idea how many enjoy indulging in a box of their own or giving merci chocolates as a gift.

So who would you thank in your Award Acceptance Speech if you won a big award this weekend?

To my mom and my Aunt for spending the last year and a half helping through various hospitalizations and putting so many things on hold just to be there for me. There really isn’t any way to fully repay them for their love and support, but I’m sure chocolate would make them smile!
