Isn't coffee art just beautiful? I love it! Wait...I LOVE COFFEE! I maybe an addict :) Really this blog isn't all about coffee. Its truly what coffee brings to the table. It brings true friendships and relationships together. Most likely, you don't just sit down with anyone over coffee. I know that I don't. Five years ago I may have just because I wanted everyone acceptance. Now, its rare and far between. But when I do have the chance to sit down with a friend, its beautiful. I see it as an intimate time with a friend, spouse, mom, mentor. You share your struggles with zero judgment. You are safe for that moment. How freeing is this? I may have two people I can truly share the deep struggles with and that's okay. We don't need a ton of people to share that stuff with.
It's also a place to share your dreams with. Most people keep their dreams to oneself because they are scared of being judged and crushed that their dream can't happen. But the people who are true and genuine friends will encourage that dream to flourish! How encouraging is that? They will connect you with the right people to allow the dream to keep moving forward. They believe in YOU as a person.
These true friends will cry with you, mourn with you, grieve with you, and carry you through that moment. You can be completely real. I don't like showing my real emotions, always been a struggle. You want life to look GREAT on the outside. And guys life SUCKS...IT SUCKS!! Did I say that loud enough? But you aren't meant to go through it alone. As I said I have very few people I would sit down with. But the couple women know who they are. And they will support you. Its just taking that guard down and saying it all. I'm still not great at sharing when things aren't well. But its a journey. Don't just open up to anyone. Be cautious. But there are people out there to support you.
Coffee brings LAUGHTER. Who loves to laugh? I do! I'm a clown once you get to know me. Completely silly. What better way to start or end your day over coffee and many laughs? Its beautiful. And I hear that laughter can be the BEST medicine. I love stories and people that make you laugh so hard, your stomach hurts! Oh surround yourself with these people.
It can bring HOPE to the dark places. WE all need hope. So I leave you with HOPE today. Go grab a cup of coffee with that person you can be real with. and find HOPE again.
Just keep on keeping on!
