Hi, coffee lovers!

Wow, the greatest piece of advice I got so far over coffee? I got that from my (late) mom. That's sure. I remember it was a fresh afternoon I'm my grandmother's house, whom we used to visit every Saturday. I was only six or seven, and she said something really feminist and, perhaps a little selfish, but it's worked for me--the adult me; the younger me was as stupid as you like to imagine, hehe--. She said I must never let any man or people in general make me do something that I don't feel right. She said that we women are most intuitive creatures, so we know stuff before we can organize into an explanation that would suit the small mind of someone who is a jerk. She said people who try to push me into something that is wrong don't love me or respect me, and so I don't owe them love or respect either. Period. My mother was my personal Mary Wollstonecraft.

I don't have photos of us having coffee, but I do keep talking with my sisters and the women I know about the things my mother used to say to us her girls.

Coffee for you! ❤️

Your mother gave you great advice if many people understood that, there wouldn't be so many failed relationships nor so many mistakes made to please others.

Happy new year. May the new year come loaded with lots of happiness, love, health and prosperity!
