Insanity & Tea

With a sudden gulp of air, I realise that I had momentarily forgotten to draw breath. Once reminded my breath now flows in short, quick puffs. The heat is building, the intensity of it is evident on my slick skin. My feet rebounding off the floor jars me slightly, but my attention has gone so… Continue reading Insanity & Tea

If we were enjoying a Pumpkin Spiced Latte…

The rich bold smell of coffee colours the air while the sounds of laughter and animated conversation swirl through the air currents. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

Over coffee…

Today over coffee we discuss what it would look like to view our life like a movie real. As soon as our steaming mugs hit the table top I burst out with my question of the day. Have you ever had one of those moments when you just know you are surrounded by ridiculousness, and… Continue reading Over coffee…

If we were having coffee…

We would begin quietly, just enjoying the warm sunshine on our skin, the white sand hot between our toes, the sounds of waves breaking on the beach, children laughing, and voices mixed in various conversations around us. There would be a small beach table between us, and our chairs would face out toward the ocean.… Continue reading If we were having coffee…
