There’s an old saying that to the thinking man, life is a comedy, but to the feeling man, life is a tragedy. If you are a feeler, it’s almost impossible not to look at the world around you and sense the invisible weight people carry. You sit with your morning coffee, feeling the heat radiate […]
Well, back to the teas! Today, I wanted to dive into a topic that always feels like a cozy reset button: cleansing teas. Water is a universal solvent. Simple is universally understood to bring life and keep everything in our bodies moving smoothly. But when you combine pure, warm water with carefully chosen herbs and […]
I love coffee. Coffee is consistent. It’s pretty much the same no matter where you go. Of course, we can add all kinds of extras to take it up a notch, but in the end, it’s still coffee. Reliable coffee. You almost never think about coffee and sports. Who goes to the concession stand for […]
Gratitude is sometimes difficult to express when we find ourselves pushed to the limits of our kindness. We may feel like we’ve given our all, only to realize that what we’ve given is not what was needed. Feeling physically and emotionally exhausted, we recognize the need to take a coffee break. There are days when […]
There are nights when you hardly sleep a wink. You toss and turn. You stretch and roll, but for whatever reason you don’t seem to get comfortable. Too hot one minute and too cold the next. You are not awake, but you are not asleep either. You are in that place of ambivalence—not here or […]
That’s not a question we usually think about when we sit down at the table for our morning cup. We don’t consider the cascading chain of events, people, and time that it represents. If you are like me, you are bumbling through the morning until you get your first sip. Then you wake up a […]
Coffee and cream are such a complementary combination. You take the bright white cream, stirred into the deep, dark earth tones of coffee, to make a smooth and mellow, balanced cup. I’ve used butter in the stead of cream from time to time. It requires a more thorough blending and creates a foamy froth, but […]
I enjoy cinnamon. It is as interesting to taste as it is to smell. The scent of cinnamon brings warmth, but it is a very different warmth than what you would get from a hot spice like cayenne. Cinnamon doesn’t seem to announce itself with a fiery heat. Instead, it creates a warmth that feels […]
Coffee is one of those things that you can appreciate in many ways. Some people find the bitter bite of a black cup of coffee energizing. Others don’t like the taste of coffee at all, but they are easily carried away with a whiff of roasted beans. Some like their coffee hot, while others find […]
When I was little I would love to use a straw to blow bubbles in my milk. I’d take a deep breath and blow until the bubbles were spilling over the edges of my cup. I’d play with these tasty bubbles until I’d receive a gentle rebuke—“Stop playing with your food.” Even as an adult […]
