Coffee shop – “create” your best work

 Coffee shop – “create”  your best work

Five reasons why you should be – “creating at a coffee shop – when did coffee

become more then a  black – bitter thing we have grown to love? I’ve been

drinking coffee for most of my life –  different costumes  serve  coffee to there

children as early as 8 years old; sometime younger; depending on the culture –

other then the love of  “caffeine”  – coffee has many value a subject I look forward to addressing in the new future

Now that the season has gotten milder  in NYC

people are out and about – the streets are filled –

everyone wants to get as much enjoyment as

possible-  dreams are awaiting to be realized –

Creativity is something that must be grasped,

chased, wooed;  you get the point – In order to create

you mast be free better yet “feel ” free – something that has become more of a

dream then a reality – but what If I told you that “ dream ” can and is your really

– your dreams are waiting for you to free yourself from bondage – of fear 

When we experience a sense of freedom, our creative potential often

expands dramatically. This liberation can manifest in several ways:

Reduced Self-Censorship: When we feel free, we’re less likely to judge our

own ideas prematurely, allowing more innovative thoughts to surface

Emotional Release: Freedom from constraints can lead to emotional

openness, which often fuels creative expression

Expanded Perspectives: A sense of freedom allows us to explore different

viewpoints and possibilities without fear of judgment

Increased Risk-Taking: When we feel free, we’re more willing to experiment

with unconventional ideas and approaches

           
Key Note:

It’s important to note that complete freedom without any structure can

sometimes be overwhelming. The most productive creative states often occur

when we have a balance between freedom and gentle guidance or purpose.

 A sense of freedom in our thinking and working environment, we can help

unlock our natural creative abilities.

Coffee shops are one of the best places to get creative work done – this is

were you have the opportunity to ” Build” the world you already see your self living –

Coffee shops have become popular havens for artists, writers, and creators for several compelling reasons:

  • Ambient Atmosphere: The gentle hum of conversation and coffee machines creates a productive white noise that many find conducive to creativity
  • Change of Environment: Breaking away from familiar surroundings can help stimulate fresh perspectives and new ideas
  • Creative Community: Being surrounded by other people working on their projects creates an inspiring collective energy
  • Structured Freedom: Coffee shops offer a perfect balance of freedom and subtle structure – you’re free to create, but the environment provides gentle boundaries
  • Minimal Distractions: Unlike home or office spaces, coffee shops eliminate familiar interruptions while providing just enough background activity to keep the mind engaged

The combination of caffeine, comfortable seating, and a semi-social

atmosphere creates an ideal environment where creativity can flourish

naturally. Many artists find that the act of going to a coffee shop becomes a

ritual that signals to their brain it’s time to create.

The tradition of creating art in coffee houses dates back to the 17th century

European coffee houses, particularly in cities like Vienna, Paris, and London.

These establishments became gathering places for artists, writers, and

intellectuals during the Age of Enlightenment.

In the 1920s and 1930s, café culture experienced another creative

renaissance, particularly in Paris where artists like Picasso and Hemingway

frequently worked in cafés. The modern coffee shop work culture as we

know it today gained significant momentum in the 1990s with the rise of

laptop computers and WiFi, making coffee shops even more attractive to creatives.

So next time; try your hand at your local coffee shop and experience the wonders of creating.

 

THE END!

  Walk into your “new life” with power!

 


Walk into your “new life” with power!

Now that spring is around the Conner we are all frost to look in our closet to

see what works as fashion tells what is no longer the it thing to were and

women in there 40’s and 50’s are still try to finger out how to get a good night

sleep;  with waking up in a “puddle of sweet” I’ll leave that for another blog post:

so what is it about the spring that has everyone filling  like kicking everything

they owned or loved at one time or anther that’s no longer works in there

closet? One of the things I’ve noticed in the few times I’d head out to the

stores;  everything pretty much looks the same –  what one would call  “fast

 

fashion” like your h&m’s,  Zara and so forth-  now before you get all up and

arm’s;  by no means am popping on these branded – I still have alot of pieces

from these brands that I  love. – as fear as fashion I believed I’ve picked in the

80’s and 90’s and if you were born in the 70’s you know what I mean.  the

“chuck julary” to the baggy – jeans were movies like boomerang t.v, shows like

 

martin were setting the tone when it came to street – wear; oh don’t get me on

the music can we say ” Don’t go chasing water falls by

TLC! I still  see remnants of “punk rock” and” hip-hop” in

my wardrobe if I’m being perfectly honest.

Many women in their 40s and 50s experience feeling stuck with fashion for several key reasons:

  • Changing Body Shape: Natural physical changes during this life stage can make previously reliable styles feel less flattering, leading to uncertainty about what works now.
  • Fashion Industry Focus: Most fashion marketing and trends target younger demographics, making it challenging to find age-appropriate yet stylish inspiration.
  • Identity Transition: This age brings significant life changes, causing women to question their personal style and how to express themselves authentically.
  • Societal Expectations: Conflicting messages about “age-appropriate” dressing versus staying trendy can create confusion and hesitation.
  • Limited Options: Many clothing lines don’t cater well to this age group, offering either overly young or matronly options with little in between.

Theses phase can be an opportunity to redefine personal style and embrace fashion that combines comfort, sophistication, and self-expression.

How ever this phase can be an opportunity to redefine personal style and embrace fashion that combines comfort, sophistication, and self-expression.

Breaking Free from Fashion Stagnation

Just because your in the second act of life doesn’t  men your not part of the

man stage! Despite what all the society may say; your  chic ! I remember a time

I stared to filling done about ageing especially  when menopause hit  like a

tone of breaks! It was no joke;  it left me feeling tired and unworthy no longer

filling like myself;  it wasn’t until I faced my on reality did I start to met my self

were Iwas at aka my new reality . No I’m not in my 20’s 30’s hack not even in

my 40’s and you know what  that’s OKAY –  I’m in my beautiful 50’s!  and

thank God for it – and you should too no matter were you fall in the spectrum.

It’s just a number that society has manipulated to make a profit off you.

Fashion can still be fun; you can still shine with what you already have in your

closet. Think about it – most of the stuff there putting out in the stores; you

probably already have or had at one point or anther; you just need a little refresher that’s all ; so here are some helpful tip:

  • Experiment with Classics: Build a wardrobe of timeless pieces that can be styled in modern ways
  • Focus on Fit: Invest in quality tailoring to ensure clothes complement your current body shape
  • Mix High and Low: Combine investment pieces with trendy accessories to create fresh, age-appropriate looks
  • Trust Your Instincts: Choose clothes that make you feel confident, regardless of “age-appropriate” rules

“Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.” – Betty Friedan

The next time you start to daut yourself remind your self you are a bright and

shining star with the ability to light up the room; with your smile and you kin

seance of fashion and wisdom!

 

The End!
