Strong Women

I have been drinking coffee for as long as I can remember.  I grew up in New Orleans and the joke around our family table is we had coffee in our bottles, I often wonder if this is really a joke.   When I was young my mom had a group of neighborhood friends who met often, possibly daily, to have coffee, talk and play cards.  Many of these women are still the core group of my mother's friends.  Strong women who have been through rough travels on the road of life.  They have stood by each other through raising kids, moving from state to state, divorce, illness and more.  Relationships made over a cup of coffee and honest conversation.  

I believe our generation is missing so much because we are too busy to sit down, slow down and enjoy a daily or weekly cup of coffee with a friend.  We are made stronger through relying on each other and building each other up more than by trying to walk this road alone.  Coffee truly can strengthen women; one cup at a time, one conversation at a time. 

Enjoy your coffee today.
