He came at this situation all wrong. He wanted to walk away with no consequences for his actions. I was on the fence about it I let him or did not let him. We had a kid on the way, we planned a life together, and we just bought a condominium. He decided he did not want to be tied down to the baby, the condominium, or me. He wanted to wander the earth free. He wanted to head into the mist and disappear. I said "For crying out loud this is our life, you are not a wanderer with no attachment, no history, and definitely not alone. You have 7 brother and sisters and 20 cousins and a BABY!!! coming soon." He shook his head. He lowered his eyes. He took a long drag of a cigarette and he got up, walked to the door, and vanished. I was left sobbing, pregnant, and with a huge condominium payment. I knew not how I would survive, but he was gone. I was still here, this baby would be soon, and we needed a way to make our new world work. I would tell the baby only good things about his/hers father. I would tell of our great love and I would make this world so completely wonderful for my child. In addition, I would always question every person they dated with the intensity of the CIA! My life had changed in an instant and my views on this world left me questioning all my morals and values. Life would never be the same again. I should have never agreed to come to this coffee shop and meet the man I planned forever with, because forever, in his mind, did not exist and I was too stupid in love to see the warning signs. 
Life just got a lot worse, but my view of it all, well that is something I hope changes in time. I would have to live life without trusting, loving, sharing with someone in this world. In this moment, only a few after he walked away, I knew somehow my baby and I would be okay! 

A little Monday tale for you. I hope to get back in the Sunday Stories mood where I can do a short story each Sunday or Monday for you.

Believe in Love!

Sunday Stories, Crazy Love Coffee Shop

So Crazy Love Coffee in Roswell Georgia has been on my list for years to visit. This weekend I got to go. I bought my son and myself an iced coffee and giant blueberry muffins. This coffee was smooth. The service fast and friendly.  There was a considerable line; I was not in a line long. The staff hustled to get everyone's orders done. They asked what you wanted and listened. They recommended products based on what their customers were describing. They had books for sale, cards, bags, toys, all sorts of note cards, and cute stationary. This place did not disappoint.  I must have been the 20th person in this long line, but 15 min later, coffee in hand, I was on my way out the door to give my kiddo his coffee. I had an iced coffee and the flavor of the coffee was smooth and sweet and tingled the tastebuds. The atmosphere was relaxed. The light was on point in this big area. See those bags in the photo, I had to fight the urge to get one.  Crazy Love coffee is family oriented, perfec

Sunday Stories: Time Spent Well.

Us At Cathedral Coffee This is the coffee shop   Yesterday was a day well spent. We drove thirty miles to a local church, with a coffee house in it. The coffee tasted so smooth and wonderful dancing on my tongue. I was told about the breakfast biscuits that were almost sold out. We, my husband and I each ordered one. We got the last two biscuits, and they did not disappoint and were only $4 each, so for  $12, we got a great breakfast and coffee. We spent an hour sitting, sipping, eating and chatting. It was a great slow start to what was quickly going to become a busy day. Thank you  Cathedral Coffee  for fueling our day.  Secondly, we hit a local convention. Spend $7 to get in and $7 on things we bought. It was full of artists we love, with jewelry and hand-drawn art. We spent maybe an hour at this convention, which was local, and we walked through it a few times. Since we are not going to Dragoncon this year, this little convention was perfect. Another hour was well spent.  After thi

Third Place on a Sunday

  If you have been following me for a while, you know I am in love with the third-place concept. Don't know what it is? Let me fill you in. You need a home place, a workplace, and a third place within the community where you can go and chat, read, have a beverage, and feel safe. For me that is always a coffee house. A few years ago I went around to some of Georgia's coffee houses and I wrote about them. Always seems to happen in the Summer. Seems the perfect time to travel and see the coffee houses of Georgia.  This summer we start with Labrador Coffee House in Kennesaw Ga. This cute house is turned into a two-story coffee house. The smell of intoxicating coffee welcomes you inside, but have a poochie? No problem, there are bowls of water all over the porch for puppy doggies. They are welcome on the porch, but not in the cafe. Gotta keep that fur out of our food you know. :)  The Labrador is dog friendly. The doggies are welcome everywhere else. The tiny fire hydrant to sniff a
