How should you spend that money during the holidays?

Image
Hello coffee lovers, How's everyone's hot drinks going? I am assuming whatever you are drinking most likely has peppermint or some sought of holiday cheer in your cup.Now as much as we love the holidays many companies love it just as much but not for the reason we do but for the money spent. I know we love to give to our family and friends and we must admit we wind up broke even before christmas day. I can admit I put a lot of my money where i do not have to but i am learning to be a bit better at my spending. Do you know according to www.thepricer.org On average, people are willing to spend around $500 on gifts for family members. Now I am not saying that's right about it but it's an advantageous price . I know for sure I spent over $500 and that's on my family and it's just the 4 of us. I am not talking about any of my siblings and so on. I have a confession, a couple years ago I spent over my amount of what I make to the whole family and I broke the ban...

Holidays Scammers coming out full force.Be careful,

Image
Hello coffee lovers, I hope you have some strength to drink because you will need something strong enough to deal with this conversation. One thing that has been going on with people especially during the holidays and online is scamming. Many elders were known for getting scammed for a lot of reasons and lately the scammers are getting smarter and even scamming all ages. They are getting smarter and changing up their website to look more and more professional. I myself have been scammed and almost scammed twice but now I know I must look more into what I want and not just jump because it's an exciting feeling. As fast as that feeling came it went and so did my money. This website that scammed me was called Ghost writers LLC and the other one who tried the same was Ghost writer Express. It's hard to tell who is scamming because many of the websites tend to have the ghost writer's name on it. I don ‘t want you guys to be scammed so I have some things you should look...

Cancer Awareness Month, we all need support

Image
Hello coffee lovers, I hope all is well.Most us know what month is but some do not. Maybe because they are busy or maybe they have other things going on in their lives. It is cancer awareness Month. This month is very hard for many. I know just coming up to this month it must hurt your heart fully. Some people you lose and some are still fighting and if you're lucky some made it through and survived it. Did you know Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States? Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death,and that is accounting for 24% of all cancer deaths. The First Documented Case of Cancer is the world's oldest documented case of cancer hails from ancient Egypt in 1500 BC. The details were recorded on papyrus, documenting eight cases of tumors occurring on the breast. It was treated by cauterization, which destroyed tissue with a hot instrument called "the fire drill." The Edwin Smith Papyrus was written (possibly a fragmentary copy ...

my book interview

Hello my coffee lovers, This was my first ever interview about my book. I think I did well? #FairyRileyRose  #newborn #interview #youtube #bloggers #coffeelovers #newauthor  https://youtu.be/2zq6fnYgcs0

The loss of an animal ,How do you grieve?

Image
Hello Coffee lovers, How was everyone’s weekend? I know there must have been great costumes,I must admit I created my whole Halloween night and I thought like a writer combined with my husband’s idea we rocked the night. But we are not here to talk about that, we are here to talk about losing a part of the family that is not human. Yes, I am talking about your pets. Many people who do not like animals may not agree that a pet is part of the family but, I really think they are. Some have been there since your babies were born watching over you child,protecting them,playing with them and waiting for you to come home. And all of sudden they are gone. The first time my son lost his pet it was a fish. He was so overwhelmed with emotion and I didn't understand why because it was just a fish. Then i thought about his first loss, I never had him experience anyone passing away and this was his first time. It hurts because you've lost someone you loved more than life itself. ...

How often does Attempting kidnapping children happen?

Image
Hello Coffee Lovers, I know I have been away for a second, I will apologize to my readers. I have been working on my book which is coming out hopefully soon. Now let's have a conversation. Get your chairs and coffee ready. It's about to get deep.. This conversation is a bit hard for me but, I think we should have a discussion. Lately I have been noticing on the news and different platforms that so many children are getting kidnapped or there have been attempts more than enough times . Which scares me as a parent and must scare all of you parents out there as well. I also feel so much for these parents who have been through that. I cannot mentally deal with that at all. There were two recent attempted kidnappings. One was in broad daylight with a mother who was holding her 3 children. They grabbed one and ran. leaving the other two and mother behind. I am assuming they thought the mom had three. She will not take a chance on me by taking one because she is busy with the oth...

Emotional abuse, why is it not taken as seriously?

Image
Hello coffee lovers, Today you might need an espresso shot or maybe a strong latte. I want to get deep into a conversation that many people go through but don't want to really discuss it. When many people hear the word abuse they think it's only physical hurting but they don't take into consideration that you can mentally abuse someone as well. I was watching a show called " Maid" on Netflix that is based on this exact thing. The woman was being verbally and emotionally abused but the court didn;t see it like that and mind you she had a child she was trying to get away from it all but the courts didn't see it as abuse and that is a huge problem with the courts these days. When a person gets abused doesn't only mean physical abuse they need help as well. YOu can really break someone emotionally, which may lead to abuse if it gets too far. Lets see the difference between them two. Psychological Abuse:Psychological abuse is typically characterized by dis...

Co-parenting does it work?

Image
>Hello coffee lovers, Years ago it was told men had the decisions on what goes on in the household, and women were to kind of obey what the rules they just were. As time went by women started to talk for themselves or and their children. Nowadays it's both parents that must agree or not agree when it comes to the children. Co-parenting is for both parents to be consistent and in agreement with rules regarding behavior and discipline, bedtimes, screen time, playtime, personal hygiene, and household chores. But the reality is, if your parenting styles differ and before you separate because of it, then you’re unlikely to magically be in agreement now. But I want to talk about it before it gets that far. Let's think about some rules that may help you see things a bit better and feel you are heard as well. The rules should be the same in both households: When the parents disagree on the rules it also confuses the children which leaves the rule open and able to break beca...

Schools on Full Lock down

Image
Hello coffee Lovers, The other week I got a phone call that my son's school was on lockdown because of a threat online from another student. Yet it did not last long. It was a bit scary to hear. I get out of a certain area to reduce violence and find out I have to worry even in the nicest city. Lately I have been seeing so much violence and it's mostly kids. What happened to the time where you had a fight and there was a winner and a loser. Which sounds harsh but most of the time they came home alive. I do now that in some places they are used to things of this nature. I lived in NYC most of my life and never had to deal with this. I am glad that the school took whatever threat it was seriously and paid attention to the details enough to keep our children safe. For those who do not know,This scenario involves a serious threat that requires immediate action. The types of events that require lockdowns include situations such as the following: School lockdown procedures req...

Do you have abandon issues?

Image
Hello coffee Lovers, I hope you have something strong to drink today,first of all because it's only the middle of the week and next we are gonna realize some things today.I recently heard some news that made me well emotional. Not a sad thing but it made me think I may have abandoned issues. I think I know it but realized it way late in my game. So I just want you guys to ask yourself a couple of questions to realize if you have it or not. Here are some question to ask yourself: 1)Do you Have a Hard Time Letting People In? LIke friends or family,telling them how you feel when you are going through stuff? 2)You are Detache, because it is easier than getting hurt? 3)Are you Clingy, when you do let someone in? 4)Difficulty Feeling Love, rather be numb, because it's easier than feeling? 5)You are Controlling,because it's something you can see coming? 6) You are Sensitive, when it comes to people having issues with you and get emotional? 7)Weak boundaries,because y...

What is your addiction that you are battling with?

Image
Hello coffee lovers, Today’s conversation is about to get a little deep,so I suggest you might want to get your best kind of latte or something a bit stronger. As you know we all have struggles that we keep to ourselves or at least try to. I am here to talk about one of my struggles and maybe you can talk about yours if you feel comfortable enough to do so. If it helps you don’t have to leave your name. I am a woman who had many struggles throughout my life. But I have one that keeps on occurring and it's hard for me to overcome. It's the need to please everyone else before myself. Now you may think that's a small problem but it can become bad. Depending on the situation you are saying yes or helping people out that can land you in places that you never thought you would be. I am the friend they call no matter how bad it is they call me. It can be a good thing but it can also be bad. This time around in my new chapter of life I am trying to stop it just a bit and t...

Have Your Parents Influenced What Goals You Have?

Image
Good morning coffee lovers, So I must admit I cheated today, I didn't have coffee, I had a refresher. Sometimes I do need a pause yet I will have one later but this morning I chose something different. Which is fine. My children have the same thing all the time but I tempt them to try new things to see if they like it. I like to nudge them sometimes sto do different things but I still let them be themselves. This is why I want to talk about the influence we have and our children. When I was young I always knew what I wanted to be. My parents had other plans for me just to get any job that gave enough money to survive. I was told that my dream was just that: a dream,that writer did not make money and I had to do something that made money. I must admit I was sad for a pretty long time but I also looked at life realistically and well did what I was told and I worked real hard with each job I had. As I grew up I realized nothing I did satisfied me and in the back of my mind...

Children returning to school, are you ready?

Image
Good morning coffee lovers, The mornings are asking for more coffee, school is back in session and summer fun is ending. You are drinking coffee at 7 am instead of 10am. My children have yet to start but they are starting soon as well as many others. I know we all are worried about what is in store for us with COVID back with a vengeance. We all worry about whether our children will be safe. Therefore I am having this conversation this week to try to keep myself and other parents aware of what to expect and how we can keep our children as safe as possible. I know for a fact some parents are vaccinating or considering vaccinating their teens. New York City has already started mandating adults. I for one am very hesitant to give my son the vaccine but he doesn’t mind talking about it. He is 17 years old so I try to include him as much as possible in choices we make that will affect him. As much as I hate the fact that he’s growing up, he is almost an adult. I read that some ...

Women's Equality Day

Image
Hello coffee lovers, Today is a great day to be a woman, so I think this day I will take an extra whip on my frappuccino. Today is what The world knows it as Women's Equality Day. Let me give you a bit of a history about being a woman and how it came to be this day. Women in the past were not able to achieve what they do today. They were told to stay quiet and stay in the kitchen. Boy did we show them. We began telling them how we do want to be heard and we do have a mind of our own. After letting them know what we were we finally adopted in 1920 the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits the states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex. Through the years we manage to vote,work,even become vice president. I can say we came a long way and we are never going to stop,we are going to keep rising and rising to the best of our abilities. We deserve Equal rights! Names t...

Body Positivity

Image
Good morning coffee lovers, I have been drinking cappuccinos these days because my regular caramel macchiatos are not like they used to be. Do you deal with this? Obsessed with a drink and as time went by the drink is not the same? Your body just doesn't want it anymore. sigh, but speaking about bodies let's talk about Body positivity. Today I want to talk about our bodies. We all take time to somehow find something wrong with ourselves. Even if we are 100% completely beautiful. We all see these flaws that others do not see in us. I saw this interview with the daily show, one of my favorite people to see and listen to because of his realness (Trevor Noah) he was interviewing Lizzo (American singer ,rapper ,songwriter and believe it or not flutist.) Her name has been going around like a coffee lover with one cup of coffee available to them. She talked about how she is not trying to be an icon but because she loves her body the way it is. As she should. We should all ...

Why are you really having a kid?

Image
Hello coffee lovers. I hope all is going well. Is It me or this weather has been very intense lately. It has been drinking extra coffee than i usually do. Today I think we should really pay attention with this conversation and this one will really make you think twice about certain decisions you'll make in your life. In life we were taught back in the day(past) that if you were to be a good wife, your job was to make your husband happy by cooking, cleaning and having babies for satisfaction. As I think about it now it seems to me they wanted us to have the children to entertain us, so they can work and go to bars and enjoy themselves. I would not be the best wife at that time because I love to work. I have kids but only two. I stopped there and I spoke my mind. These days there are so many babies being born and it is becoming over populated but that's not why i am talking about this today. I am talking about women who have babies for reasons that really should be questio...

Do you know someone with Autism spectrum disorder(ASD)

Image
Good Morning coffee Lovers, Today I heard some news from a stranger that really made me angry and sad. So today I have to have a double shot of espresso to keep me going. There was a person that would tell you about what had to do with his son . He was at University of Utah family housing where he was discriminated against for being austic he was denied being unable to use family housing. I am not sure the actual details but dipsite of the situation one should . He was thrown out the streets and his dad has been trying to help him get a place. Many people don’t know but according to https://worldpopulationreview.com/ there are over 10,000 that have Autism. Now most people should know what Autism is but I will explain to you if you do not. Autism spectrum disorder is a condition related to brain development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication. Signs of Autism spectrum disorder(ASD...

Parenting and to find that medium with your children

Image
Hello coffee lovers, Now this time we need something strong guys so lets get a double shot of whatever coffee type you are getting today. Conversations that for some parents may make you think twice. I know that kids these days try to understand faster than us grown folks did at our time. Their minds are more developed somehow or maybe they have more questions than we used to have. And have easier access, especially online. What we need to do is find a middle Ground on looking not only through our lens but our children as well. Let them know they can come to us. Many children have been committing sucide and hurting themselves because they cannot go to us(Parents) because they are scared of how parents will react. Which is unstandable because we are taught to be tough with our children so they will survive in this world. I know it's hard to understand our children these days and what they are feeling.We do not want our children to grow up nor want to imagine they have any ...

Are you ready to have those Moments and keep those memories?

Image
Hello coffee lovers, Today, call or text your parents today and ask them for a day out for coffee. To those who lost any of their parents please forgive me. And have one for them instead of a coffee drink they did enjoy while in this world. I say this because many of us have busy lives and let's be honest, making time for our parents is hard. I see my dad maybe once or twice a year. Most of the time it's for a sad reason which I prefer it not be. Either way I would take lots of time off or spend time with the weekend. I try to spend as much time as I can with him. At the same time I try to bring my sisters together to join us. It gives us memories and monete we can take with us because once they leave this world that's all we have left. My mom passed away when i was so young that my memories were limited. Were they perfect parents of course not. I don’t know if anyone is “perfect”. But they were my parents or are my parents. I take them for all they are or are n...

Are you too nice?

Image
Hello coffee lovers, Today I want everyone to get a coffee that is not as sweet as you normally get it. Take the sweetness out of the equation. Why do you ask? Because sometimes getting sweet gets us nowhere sometimes. What I mean by that is, that the sweeter you are, the more things go wrong for you. Let's sit and chat about where being nice gets you. Are you ready? When it comes to it being nice most of the time gets you into situations that you really never wanted in the beginning. Whether it be to work at home or even with friends and family. I've been nice most of my life and I am still pretty nice. But as time goes by and I notice more and more when I get older I just stop and look at myself. Sometimes I look like a fool. I can be honest with myself and say that. How do you know if you're too nice? Lets see if you get 3 or more of these on yes you are too nice: 1)Do you go to things that you really don't feel comfortable in? 2) Do you say "Yes' ...

How do you rekindle a long time relationship?

Image
Hello coffee Lovers, Today we are going to try a medium roast coffee to compromise with my hubby and not drink anything too hard.  Those are little things you can do to rekindle your relationship.It may seem little but knowing that you are listening helps. I know many people have  been with their mates for a long time.  Many people start at an early age and get comfortable with their relationship and stay together for years. We all get comfortable in a long term relationship where things are not exciting as they used to be.  You find yourself laughing at jokes you heard a billion times out of habit. You see yourself being ok to be in the same room but on phones all day talking to others instead of each other. I know it's hard being that you know everything the other one is gonna do or say or act but if you want to keep the hope or your love alive.  For example, me and my hubby work alot and it's hard because we have different schedules. Like days I work he has...

Are you trying to find your purpose in life?

Image
Hello coffee Lovers,   Days are getting Hotter and hotter and days are looking bright. Cold coffee lover we are saluting  you all for drinking the cold coffee I myself cannot drink cold coffee. Today we are discussing those who seem lost or are trying to find themselves. This Is a everyday conversation that people have and still have trouble with and get stuck in the fork in the road.  We all want a purpose in life. A handful of people we know may know what road they want to take but there are alot of other people  still trying to figure it out. Some go down the wrong road hoping going down any road will guide them somewhere but it does not.Instead it makes it worse. It took me a long time to try and find me ,well let me be honest I knew who i was and lost my way as time went by.   I led a life that wanted me to be what they wanted me to be and I followed that rule for a pretty long time. But one day I woke up and   realized this is not m e and I can't try ...

Do you know someone who has Bi polar Disorder?

Image
Hello coffee lovers, Today this conversation is a bit deep. It is time to get any  hot or cold drink that makes you feel like you are ready to hear what I have to say.  Many people are in relationships and they are with those who are diagnosed  with Bi polar Disorders. Now being with someone in a normal relationship is hard enough imagine one who has a disorder.  When dealing with someone with Bi polar disorder, there are some clues that may seem a bit normal like any other mood but it can go from 1 to 10 in no time.  For those who do not know : There are two neurotransmitters in your brain that may play a role in bipolar disorder. And each has a different function. Which are : Dopamine: Science has shown that dopamine is associated with thoughts and emotions. It also helps control movement in your body. A decrease in this neurotransmitter may slow your movement and even your motivation. While an increase has the opposite effect, resulting in increas...

Are you Sure you ready for Pride month??

Image
Hello coffee lovers! Today I feel like something different, still caffeine but more exciting. I don’t know if you know but Starbukcs has new drinks according to pride month. Which is amazing that they show so much love.   So let's drink a bit different and we should  smile and celebrate while we conversate.  It's Pride month and I see the rainbow everywhere. I am discussing this because at this time and day we are more open with sexuallity.  I want to let the world see how far we have come. Look what we have for example an openly U.S. politician named Barney Frank. We of course have Ellen. We also have newcomers coming out of the sun with greatness like characters from “Pose”  like J Rodriguez who fought with her sexuality at an early age.Look at her now just becoming herself and where she is more accepted then she was in the past.   We all know someone  yet it be in the closet or way out and we could think about what feelings they may ha...
