A quick cuppa at this pretty cafe, the smell of coffee filling the air, and the unwritten story of sweet moments to come in the day.

May I join you and share a cup of coffee ?
sofia.varela
Yes of course, dear Helene! You would be so welcome ^_^
helenesflame
Thank you. I presume it will be a coworking day ?

2nd Question: how do you taste your coffee ? Straight, with sugar, milk ( latte, may be?)
sofia.varela
Oh i love this question! My favourite is with honey and with oatmilk. What about you? :-)
sofia.varela
Yes! Every weekday :-) The hours are varied but I will start to organise the location the day before, so that if poeple are early birds, they can go there earlier than me hehe
helenesflame
Your coffee with honey ? As I do, often. And also with cardamome I like so much this flavor. But I saw you like also latte... Welle, honey and milk are melting so nicely ^^
helenesflame
Aren't you an earlier bird ? Or is it you like people and things " ready" for you when you need them?
sofia.varela
Oh Cardamonne is a wonderful flavour ☕️🌱 yess oatmilk is so creamy and with honey it’s just perfect ^_^
sofia.varela
Hee hee yes I am an early bird.. I love the mornings. My mornings become packed ☺️. But yes I confess to an obsession with organisation 👜📝😆. Because then I can relax into these funny structures I create 🤓
helenesflame
Cardamome or cardamonne ? That is the question, dear Sofia. But I was not talking about oat milk ( I never tasted milk of oat ; only oatmeal) I am preferring milk from cows or better from goats or sheeps
helenesflame
We certainly have to share receipts from breakfast - our talk is making me hungry..
helenesflame
Don't you ?
helenesflame
Hum hum... at what time is waking up Sofia's Bird ? I will try to wake before you and so, share your packed attitude with mine ? How can you "confess" that, for yourself, organisation is an pbsession ? Aren't you more simply cautious in the planning and making of all the needs you want to have a nice nest to relax ?
helenesflame
And obsession isn't more only your great sens of watchfull about the quality of this nest for satisfying your self and your guest(s)?
sofia.varela
I love the concept of my Bird ^*~ She tends to open her first eye at around 6am. Dawn feels so full of promise. What about for you, Helen? What about your litte inner bird.. .does she like the mornings too?

aw you are kind with your reframing dear Helene. Yes, its the obsession fuelled by the desire for people to understand and have clarity and know what they can expect from me and the funny things I do. Life can be so confusing. Order can bring peace. Well, some order... not toooo much hee hee
helenesflame
What about me ? Depends of the days... but I agree with you, "Dawns feels full of so much promises. And I know that my inner bird can wake before you, dreaming, as it is waiting you, with your own promises of a breakfast taste .
helenesflame
I think I understand this kind of obsession about the mutual understanding of your guest(s) and yourself. May be you have to help them to know better what they can expect from you ? And your nice nest you like to built for a better resting will help (and certainly well furnished) will help a lot
helenesflame
I agree what you are saying about peace, but is it not a bit contrary to order ? Even if you add, gently and smartly, "not too much". You are writing so beautifully. It is really a pleasure to read you.
sofia.varela
I look forward to meeting you in world dear Helene. And may our inner birds bring us in perfect time for a dawn coffee ^_^
sofia.varela
I recommend, if you have the chance to try oatmilk. It is quite creamy and after a while the taste grows on you. But only if you feel curious about it :-))
sofia.varela
Ahhh if you wake before me, I will be sad as I did not yet manage to organise the location for tomorrow. My day ended up so busy. But I will do it very soon. Get ahead with the organising so it’s already there. I feel sorry if people would like to do it I am the bottleneck. This way, people can go when they feel. And oh what a lovely surprise it will be if you are there already.
sofia.varela
Yes I think you are right about the importance of being clear with people and of looking after details like the decorating of a place. It’s part of the care and love and I think it’s part of being a good host. I will do my best :)
sofia.varela
It made me smile about peace being contrary to order. Yes I think order which is over bearing or controlling is not good for a calm state. I think just enough structure is something to aim for. Just enough so that things feel calm. So that there is a sense of space and simplicity.

Thank you Helene for such a stimulating conversation today. I wish you blessed rest
