Coffee Conversations

Welcome back, Friday! I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we missed you.
I already had my morning coffee because I woke up at 5am. For absolutely no reason besides the fact that I was asleep before 10pm. So, I guess that makes sense. In a dream world, this would be my schedule every day – I love getting up before the sun, but only when it’s on my own terms. I always feel so accomplished by 9am and tend to have a better day when I can get to my to-do list early in the morning. Plus, it means I can usually wrap up the workday around 3 in the afternoon, which is also pretty nice. Especially on a Friday. Especially especially when I have an adult slumber party to look forward to tonight. Also, I get to use my new weekender bag for the first time! 
I shared on Instagram yesterday that I recently got into listening to audiobooks. I listened to Lauren Graham’s (Parenthood, Gilmore Girls) “Talking as Fast as I Can” in about 2.5 days. If you’ve watched either of those shows and love her as much as I do, you should listen. Also, audiobooks are awesome. 
Have you seen our Curated Boxes at Elisabeth Ashlie yet? These are so fun to put together! I’m currently working on a couple more for different occasions, too. 
I’ve recently made it a life goal to have a fireplace in my bathroom. Doesn’t this look too dreamy? I’m pretty sure I would never get out of the bath.
I just got this planter delivered for my money tree in my office and I love it! 
Have a great weekend!

    WOW!!!
    This is the most wonderful thing i have ever experience and i need to share this great testimony.
    About how i get my ex back after a breakup.
    I never believed it, because i never heard nor learn anything about it before.
    Hey guys my wife and I have been married for 15 years. For over five years I have been dealing with jealousy issues because of flirting and her having emotional type affairs with other men. I felt like my masculinity was in question and if I said the way she was acting bothered me, it seemed to make matters worse or I was accused of being controling. During this period I did state I wanted a divorce if the behavior was not going to end: texting men a night, leaving for the weekend without letting me know where she was going or not responding to messages. We do have a son and basically it's been him and I for the last year on the weekends. She disconnected completely from being a good wife and mother. In April she said she wanted a separation and I said no we need to get into marriage counseling. We did try that, but she was not very responsive and didn't give any effort. Afterward she was adamant about separation and divorce. I continued to say no and that we needed to save our family. She presented a separation agreement and I had to hire a lawyer. Because of the above behavior my lawyer suggested a private investigator. The investigator discovered my wife was having an affair with a close friend of the family who also is married with children. We know the extended families. I feel like I should tell this man's wife about what happened. This adultery has devastated me emotionally, I feel betrayed and I'm physically drained. I know my wife is passionate in terms of her sexuality, and I can't get the thought of them out of my head. It makes me question my own manhood, and I feel very inferior or that he must be a better lover or what ever. The problem is my wife pursued him. She would go to him and she lured him into this adultery. I felt this was coming for some time and could not stop it. She was not only lying to me but also to our son about what she was doing and where she was going. My family is important, my son loves her and as crazy as it sounds so do I. Can you respond with a course of action on how to proceed? I was still have a very huge place in my heart for her. so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Ahmed can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my wife came to me and apologized for the wrongs she did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I, my son and my wife are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Ahmed. as it is a place to resolve marriage/relationship issues, do you want to be sure if your spouse is being faithful to you or Do you want your Ex to come back to you Contact.: E-mail: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com or call/Whats-app: +2348160153829 save your crumbling home and change of grades its 100% safe.
