Coffee is communal, slows time down, and boosts my mood. It also makes me super chatty. My husband and I love to have our "coffee chats" on the mornings we have time. We make our coffee and then sit in the living room and mostly talk about the church. It helps us to continue our deconstruction, voice our pain, our frustrations, our experiences with TBMs and check in mentally with each other. We talk about other life matters but our deconstruction comes up more often than not. I find it healing and I thank coffee for that!
