So! I had my first ever taste of Espresso this week.

A few days away, busy exploring with life but found myself having my same usual Brew each day. So feeling adventurous, I dared myself to try something new. And the refreshing rich concentrated essence of coffee was the much welcomed adult experiment.

Espresso definitely packs a punch in flavor despite its small size! Quite a delightful surprise for a first-timer. A flavour, bold and intense, yet refreshing.
Then! I had the second one. But this time, with my favourite of a hot chocolate mix. The classic combination and perfect balance of rich espresso and an indulgent chocolate. A delightful treat of a Mocha! the joyful hint of sweetness with a rich coffee.
In those moments, I discovered my new found favourite drink, an Expresso! A perfect feeling of treating myself to something. So very small, uneventful for many, however so very special. A momentary experience added to my memoir.

Well! in the hustle and bustle of our modern lives, with a phone in one hand and a diary or child in the other, it is all too easy to get swept away in the whirlwind of routine activities. Sooo routine we even loose track of our most previous moments of life. We are always on the move, hours in meeting rooms/spaces, deadlines, to-do lists, and navigating the endless stream of reminders and notifications that flood our screens.

But amidst this frenzy, there is always the one moment when everyone leaves us alone. That moment we are able to just sit and take in a deep breath. It might be the moment to just pop to the loo to refresh ourselves, or a moment just enough to make ourselves a drink and have a quick bite to eat before the next phase of activities begins.
In that moment, in the coming week, Let us try something new. Maybe a different drink. Something we usually wouldn’t be drawn to. A simple act to break up our routine for each day in the coming week. And in just those moments, let us agree to slow down, and notice the new flavours or the absence of it even!

In that moment, Let us pay attention and homage to Us!

Cheers!
