I'd rather take coffee than compliments just now.

Louisa May Alcott, Little Women


My love for coffee runs deep. Unfortunately, we have a rather sordid relationship. I love the gentle caffeine buzz in the morning, it's warm comfort, it's flavor...all of it.

Unfortunately, the jittery crash that often follows is not so lovely. I know it makes me anxious. I know it makes my blood sugar feel out of whack come late afternoon. My integrative medicine doctor suggested years ago that we break up. How dare she.


I made it almost 2 years without regular coffee fixes. But over the last year or so I have started back up. It calls to me. Tea, not so much. But I realize that feeling calm, cool and collected is worth the sacrifice. So I have been easing myself off via decaf. Then I got to thinking: Perhaps there are other, non liquid, ways to experience the joys of my friend Joe.

Here's to you, my love. On a Thursday.

  1. Oh, two and four are my absolute favorites! Please let me know if you find something worthwhile to replace the joe. I, too, have fallen victim to its goodness ... I'm weak, I tell you ... weak!

  6. I went three years without any caffeine while I was pregnant and breastfeeding(twice) and I felt amazing, but....I started slowly drinking coffee again and now I am addicted! I love the taste and smell but not the way I feel...so I am thinking of trying to go off of it again. :(

  7. haha...I love the coffee inspired things. I don't think I'm addicted to coffee...I usually have a small cup in the morning. But I definitely love it!
