Traveling with Coffee

 Traveling with Coffee


So with the end of my first story about Melanie, I have started traveling through this great state called Georgia. I have been all over it, but this summer I am traveling by coffee. Let me explain. Due to a work injury I cannot do my normal work, so I am in an office for the time being, which means I have off every weekend. I thought what a great way to travel, I will go visit coffee houses in Georgia. I like coffee, but I love the third space. A space where people come together as a community and feel safe. People talk to people at other tables, they talk to people who they normally would consider outside their comfort zone. This Saturday 6-9-18 I started my summer of coffee travel with a trip to a coffee house I had been to before and am in love with: Senoia Coffee & Cafe. It is situated in Senoia Georgia and is a charming coffee place, but it also has a banging good menu. Everything is made to order so you relax, talk to people, and gently wait for your food. Yesterday was the first time I had been there on a Saturday and if was hopping! The staff was swamped, the place was packed, the noise level was up, but you know what? The staff was wonderful, the seating was ample, and the noise was people actually talking to one another and not on their phones! This charming coffee house/cafe is amazing. They have achieved a great balance of professionalism and relaxation.



I ordered what I always do, the Caesar chicken wrap and let me tell you it never disappoints. They have amazing teas for relaxation, clear mind, and other maladies you may suffer from. Their staff is intelligent about their food and drinks and can talk to you for a minute and make a recommendation you will LOVE! They have a case full of sweets too! My honey does not like cheesecake, but they had banana pudding cheesecake and he fell in love. It was moist and a great balance of the two foods. We bought their pastry basket for $8 and brought back 4 more goodies. The price cannot be beat! Their pastries are fresh and moist and melt into your mouth. They have muffins, croissants, cinnamon rolls to die for good, and many other sweets. It seems their magic is not just amongst the lunch food, but also their sweets as well. They are master magicians in the kitchen.

If you catch yourself passing through Senoia Georgia I highly recommend this lovely place. They bathroom is clean, you can pick up papers about activities in the area, they have T-shirts for sale. Their coffee is to die for good and their food is of pure magic.

Here is some information on the owners if you are interested in chatting them up!

Mother's Day and the Sh*t show it will become. I AM READY!

                                             Mother's Day is coming in hot and my mother died.  This will be the first Mother's Day without her. My sister has plans that day, and I do not, but our hearts will be on Mom no matter what we do. There is no running away from grief.  Grief will fill our minds, and our hearts, and keep us focused on her passing away. Our minds will wander to her and wonder where she is in this vast universe. We will think of the last time we saw her, hugged, her, and talked with her. Grief will bring us back to her last breath. We will try to move on, move past, but you know what I have found out, that is BS. We all have our own grief walk to take. We all have our own correct path to move forward. I have thought about joining a grief support group and then thought perhaps not. I am not so sure I could listen to others...

Wandering Soul

I find myself recently thinking of traveling again. I love the newness of a place. I get bored with the old. I like learning new about new cultures and making new friends. I have one more year of college and then I am open to moving anywhere. I would love a job with writing of course as I am an English major, but I do not limit myself to that. I open my heart and soul to wandering. I think if we stay around the same people too much we disappoint them. They are bound to get tired of us, or us them, at some point. Ive recently realize if we attach to someone, some place, or something we will eventually get hurt. Everything that has a beginning has an end. All relationships start and end. All our time in a place starts and ends. Nothing lasts forever. Buddhists say if you do not get attached to anything or anyone you will not be hurt. Easier said then done. Pfft! I always thought my lack of attachment to people or places was a bad thing. If we go with the Buddhist's way then I am ...

Love, Friendship, and the Sh*t we take because of it.

I have long known I am an empathetic person. I have always felt other peoples emotions deeply. Sometimes I wish I could turn it off, but recently I realized how much of a gift it is. I can hurt with them, I can share in the highs, I can be there fully for those who need me. I think it is a gift really. I might not always understand what the person has gone through, but I listen and feel the hurt down to my soul. It shakes me to my core and allows me to empathize with the person. This empathy is dangerous to me and my own happiness. While I feel other peoples emotions so deeply,I notice I feel mine even more. With every good or bad thing that happens I realize how much it resonates with my soul. It takes a tole on my body sometimes and that is not good. The definition of an empathic is this: of, relating to, or characterized by empathy , the psychological identification with the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of others: a sensitive, empathetic school couns...
