strong coffee



After a delicious breakfast at Winslow's Home this morning, I noticed a crumb on my coffee cup. The piece of chocolate cake marked the spot of some place in Brazil. I though for a split second it was a sign; time to book a ticket to Brazil! Wherever it was, surely I'd find happiness or even a pot of gold there, right? Haha, okay, I'm not that flaky, but I am trying to be more aware of what the world has to say. The other day my Yogi tea message said the best thing I can do is listen. So I was only trying to listen to what my coffee cup had to contribute.

When I got home, I looked it up on a map. The "crumb-y" place? Fortaleza, Brazil. Fortaleza means strength in Spanish. I didn't book a ticket, but I did smile. One can always use a little extra strength.
