My morning coffee earlier this week made me question coffee and mindfulness and here is why. I strolled into the kitchen to make my first cup of coffee for the day. I stood with my left hand on the top of the metal Keurig spinner slowly rotating it while I scanned the coffee flavours. I… Continue reading Coffee and mindfulness?

Coffee and business
It’s just a simple black coffee warming my coffee cup this morning. What are you drinking? If we were having coffee, I would start by sharing pictures of my finished China cabinet. Between the weather and the air quality—this week has been a week of thunderstorms—this project took me longer then expected. I’m happy with… Continue reading Coffee and business

What? Churros flavoured coffee?
Bean Around the World coffee—Spain—Churros flavoured coffee fills my mug today. I must start with a confession. I’ve never tried a Churro; the opportunity just hasn’t come up. My point is that I have no basis for comparison to my coffee. I will tell you that my java has a sugar smell even though I… Continue reading What? Churros flavoured coffee?

The presence of vanilla is noted
Donut Stop Boston cream coffee fills my cup this morning. Who doesn’t love donuts? Since it isn’t something that I eat very often, this coffee option is fun. The dominant smell is vanilla-ish and the sip is smooth and silky. The presence of vanilla is noted. If we were having coffee, I would share with… Continue reading The presence of vanilla is noted

Pillows of steam
The pillows of steam rising from my mug are a flavour mix of sweet and bitter. I would class this as a mild sip of coffee that doesn’t suggest chocolate truffle. It isn’t too bitter. It’s a simple roasted coffee. I’m drink Bean Around the World, Belgium chocolate truffle flavoured coffee. If we were having… Continue reading Pillows of steam

Creative Expression
Writing when the words come little by little, only touching your creative mind without reaching fruition, can be like grasping at fairy dust. Thoughts and words—elusive grains of sand caught in the wind. Some are minuscule and golden with that soft flour-like feel as they slip between your fingers, inviting magic but not achieving it.… Continue reading Creative Expression

Confetti Cupcake Tea
Have we talked about confetti cupcake tea? It’s from David’s Tea. In the mug it doesn’t appear to gave a notable colour, but it has an evident sheen of white film coating its surface. Yuck! That doesn’t sound good, right? It has a soft sweet smell with an almost apple odour. The taste is mild… Continue reading Confetti Cupcake Tea

Another learning curve in my writing life.
I’ve been trying to write a short story. My word count aim is between seven and ten thousand. The current word count is less than four thousand words and it has been hard-pressed to get those onto paper. I’m not sure why the words aren’t flowing with ease, but I haven’t been pushing either. I… Continue reading Another learning curve in my writing life.

Donut Flavored Coffee
This coffee smells like raspberry jam. The smell takes me to a summer breakfast table at my grandmother’s cottage with warm buttered toast, a container of fresh homemade jam, and a cup of hot coffee. I don’t even need to taste this coffee to know that I will drink it again. My coffee is Donut… Continue reading Donut Flavored Coffee

The Lost Book
“Rascally missing book!” I grumble, acknowledging that it’s my fault for bringing home a book from the enchantment library. A library with dim lighting cast by floating lights. The old book smell is intense, and the shelving is medieval in appearance. It’s an irresistible building. Regardless, it’s a wonder the book was on the shelf… Continue reading The Lost Book
