Do you feel life is disappearing?

Image
Hello coffee lovers, It's spring time finally!!  We are all thinking about things we want to do and things we have  to do. We are trying new spring drinks and enjoying the weather outside. Maybe thinking about new chapters in your life or old ones. I must admit I have been thinking about my past alot. I am thinking about how the past seemed so far away or just happened so quickly.   For example, anyone after 40, start to think about what  should change or what we could have done better. We are also recognizing, when we look in the mirror that things are not the same.Our hair is thinning. Noticing how tired we look. Then it's the weight change or just our face falling from gravity. It's a lot to think about and a way to become more stressed.  But  then I think about what we thought about becoming 18 or even 21 years of age. In our head we have this false idea of what age does or should look like. We focus so much on these numbers that show a chan...

Women were restricted in so many things in the 17th century ,are we going back in time??

Image
Hello Coffee lovers, I hope the coffee is staying warm where you are. The weather has shocked us all in the last couple months but as much as the news. I want to discuss what I have been seeing and hearing and we need to discuss this. We are now in a point where women's rights are in the state of both progress and pushback depending how you look at it. In my opinion it is being pushed back into the beginning when we had no choice at all. The last couple of centuries we, as women, have had more opportunities than women have ever had in the past. We have voted and have strong positions and are able to be a mother and work at the same time. We have strived to have rights throughout the years.We succeeded and it's crazy that the people who want us back in that box we fought so hard to get out of. People want us to be subordinate to men like in certain place i wish not to discuss but shutting up and be quiet also having someone to tell me what i can and cannot do with my bo...

Emotional or Physical damage, How can you help?

Image
Hello coffee Lovers, I hope the snow and the freezing weather have not taken away your spirits. I hope it just made you want warmer drinks especially coffee based. Our spirits can be down so many times and we are just trying to find a way to bring them back to even just a normal feeling. Today I want to talk about trying to fix things,or people you may not know how to but yet feel the need to. Sometimes in our lives we meet people or we know someone in our family that is going through something emotionally or physically. We do our best to try and fix it knowing we really don’t know how. Even sometimes I feel myself wanting to help.It feels like I can feel their pain but sometimes I can't fix it. But unless it's our job we don’t know. I want to say I read minds. I can tell you what they need but I don't. Somehow i can feel them though it's a feeling that they just want to be seen or they need help but like us do not know how to fix themselves. I don’t expect any ...

The Netflix special "Jamie Foxx,what had happen was"

Image
Hello coffee lovers, Today what i am talking about is amazing that we can have any kind of coffee that makes you feel like it was meant for you to have. Asi drank my favorite caramel latte, hot of course. I watched something on Netflix which made me have so many feelings. I watched a stand-up that was not such a stand-up, more of a story of one man's journey into what it was like coming back from death almost. With the support of his family and his lord above. The name of this story was called “JamieFoxx.What had happened was..” While there were jokes, they had a great story of struggle in staying alive not only physically but mentally. When almost losing one's life you tend to become mad or in denial it can happen to you but it doesn't matter who you are, what color we are, we all go through something and we are so lucky if we can wake up the next day. We survive for a reason and we have to find out what that reason is and fight for that reason. We can all have peop...

Holiday memories

Image
Hello Coffee Lovers, As I walk around holiday shopping and drinking my Caramel brulée Latte from starbucks.I look at gifts and items that bring me back to my younger years. Things I have received and a tradition that me and my sister created may be more like us around. Let's take time out this time around to drink coffee or lattes that bring us memories and make us think about one or a couple times being so happy that you can’t help but smile Many people celebrate many different things and i won’t list them all but i will say when you have the chance to get together with family even if it may not be many of you it still fills us with joy. I and anyone else loves gifts but laughter and joy tops all such things. As a young girl i did not receive gifts as children should at a young age but There was this one gift that every time the holidays come in think about it. This one gift made me feel not only special but seen. I opened my gift and it was an ice skating barbie wit...

Breaking the Silence: My Journey as a Survivor of Abuse**

Image
Hello coffee lovers, I have been drinking coffee for a very long time, Since maybe the age of 10. Knowing that I can drink coffee and still think about my past, we know that the past has a way of alway being in the back of your mind. Like I remember drinking coffee at 6am in the morning with my stepmom and playing Mario Bros. Some memories go away or you forget but some memories of the past you cannot forget. Let's Talk about victims in young ages who can’t forget their past even if they wanted to. Abuse is a word that carries a huge amount of weight, yet it's one of the many people who struggle to fully understand until they've experienced it firsthand. For too long , I kept my story hidden, wrapped in a blanket of shame,fear and uncertainty but today ,I'm breaking my silence. This is my journey from victim to a survivor ,and I hope that by sharing my story,others who have faced similar struggles will find the strength to speak out and seek help. Abuse can take m...

Family, Can you remove them from your life?

Image
Hello coffee Lovers, Today is an espresso Martini kind of day. It has coffee, don't look at me that way.This conversation is about something and talking about family you may need more than just a regular coffee. Hence (espresso Martini). Let's talk about feelings that make us uncomfortable but also need to be heard or in other words read. There are families who are whole and yet there are arguments they still stay as a family. What happens to those who really don’t have a chance to argue a moment to ask why don’t we talk? Those are the hard parts of family. Those kinds of feelings that keep a family member not whole. As though you will always wonder why. I love family and I am all for family but in reality family is a hard relationship to keep. If you think about it,there is a lack of flexibility when one family member asks for a change in the relationship dynamics,including the lack of respect for new boundaries, holding on to perceived slights from the past, disagreement...

Trauma: Why do we avoid it?

Image
Hello my coffee lovers, I am here drinking a caramel latte watching a show called “Unprisoned’ and yet it's sweet. I felt a bit bitter at the bottom. That's how life is. As much as we want life to be sweet, our past trauma rears it ugly bitter head. I will admit I am a big person who chooses to see the sweetness and who tries to avoid past feelings. There are times that I may feel these feelings that I can't avoid. I feel myself ready to have tears run down my eyes but I stop them before it stops. Is this the right thing to do,of course not but that's just my way. My past has gotten me to where I am today but I question if it was different would I be who I am today? I like who I am dipsite of holding in my feelings. I have gotten pretty far and I know or I FEEL as though I am content and happy. I am sure as though I am feeling good about the length I have gotten. I still feel as though people may think I am better than many or my partner got me to where I am. I w...

I Am (The Celine Dion documentary)

Hello my coffee lovers, I am drinking my medium roast coffee with french vanilla cream.It tastes so good. I hope you have a coffee that you love so much it makes you smile like it so especially during this conversation we are having today. I was on my smart tv going through my shows and on Prime I noticed there was a documentary c. For those who do not know me, I am a fan of her work. I remember my first time I tried to sing her song The titanic song “My Heart Will Go On” When I was younger I was in front of over 20 people, maybe more and I was so nervous I couldn't even sing correctly .Of course I got booed off stage but as I got older I just kept trying to make my voice higher. Am i an excerpt of course not but karaoke sounds better now when i sing it. When I was younger I remember buying my first music cds. When it was popular in the 1980's . Of course I bought her album. Watching her documentary brings back so many memories that hearing those songs makes tears com...

Have you seen Bridgeton ?

Image
Hello Coffee Lovers, Today I am excited to talk about what I hope many people have wanted to talk about,”Bridgeton” On netflix. Get your ice lattes and your fraps and well sorry I still work on hot coffees. Let's talk about bridgton and what you think about the new season. It's our time to gossip. For those who don't know this show I want you to think back to the 1800’s.(the Regency era)The costumes are incredible and the language is beyond anything I have yet written. Every time I watch it I just want to binge watch. The show is about wanting to be seen but not in a bad way but way the world would respect you or fear you depending how you look at it. The humor and the romantic parts of the show is every girl's/woman's part of it. We can’t forget the amount of gossip,what would be a show without drama. This season I spoke to a few people who were saden to know they were not as interested but I think because many have gone straight to the new season they must ...
