I made my coffee this morning with a Crave Coffee pod. I’m drinking Blueberry Vanilla flavour. The pairing compliments the fragrance because blueberry has a fruity yet spicy vanilla scent, to begin with. In the coffee, it’s the same but with a hint of the bitter java bean. It has a very bitter taste as… Continue reading Crave Coffee

If we take a relaxed approach, we can define the term “business” as efforts undertaken to produce and sell products. So, the business owner is the person(s) who owns and operates the… Continue reading Creative products for public consumption

Canadian Coffee
I’m sipping Bean Around the World brand coffee this morning. It’s a flavour they’ve labelled as Canadian—Maple Syrup. A crystalized sugar smell is present in the fragrance, soft and pleasant. The taste has a bitter, buttery thing going on. It’s a nice cup of coffee. If we were having coffee, I would say “hello December.”… Continue reading Canadian Coffee

As Wednesday (today) was rolling closer, I still hadn’t written a business post. I was a bit at a loss for what to write. So, I set the thought aside and moved on with my day to wait for my inspiration to find me. I decided I could always write about a tool I use—because… Continue reading Series Unity

How many virtual coffee dates have we had this year?
Today I’m sipping Bean Around the World Stroop Waffle coffee. It has a pleasant sugary scent. It tastes smooth with a bitter aftertaste. There’s not much more to say than that. It’s hot, but I’m going to drink it fast. Can I offer you a virtual mug? If we were having coffee, I would share… Continue reading How many virtual coffee dates have we had this year?

A by-product of intimate time spent with fictional characters.
“The hard part about writing a novel is finishing it.” – Ernest Hemingway I was feeling conflicted about the book I’m currently writing. I had to stop and ask myself why. Do I want to continue with a manuscript that doesn’t hold my heart? If I don’t love it, how can I expect my readers… Continue reading A by-product of intimate time spent with fictional characters.

Crave Coffee—Butter Toffee
I love how this coffee title sounds, “Crave Coffee—Butter Toffee.” It makes a fun chant while you wait for that next steaming cup to brew. The brand is Crave, and the flavour is butter toffee. I’m not sure if I shared this Java virtually before. Although it sounds sweet, it isn’t. It has a pleasant… Continue reading Crave Coffee—Butter Toffee

The purpose of a stylistic edit is to address language that is awkward or unclear. A… Continue reading Stylistic or Content Edit

Do you like the flavour of coconut?
Can I offer you a Coconut Rum Flavoured Coffee? For those who have tasted the Malibu Coconut Rum, this coffee doesn’t taste or smell that way. The scent of coconut is prominent, but the sip is bitter and oily. It isn’t my top coffee choice, but it is one that I enjoy occasionally. If we… Continue reading Do you like the flavour of coconut?

The Ripple Effect
The last few months have been full of eye-opening moments. “Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” – Scott Adams Somewhere throughout my traditional career, I lost passion for my job. This loss wasn’t because of the job itself but because of what I’m calling a systemic disease—that negative vibe that creeps into… Continue reading The Ripple Effect
