This made me cry. I am struggling a lot right now with overwhelm while navigating grief and looking for a new job, and you're right, it's so easy for me to forget all the good around me!

“The unexpected care of strangers “ and “memory of someone who still gives you strength even after they’re gone”. Wow. This is exactly what sustains me. Thank you for the words.

I love your magical ectoplasmic tentacles of coffee fragrance, searching for the nearest nose to entice into taking Just One Sip. I think you've captured coffee perfectly.

I think your aroma looks like a Love Monster. And nothing wrong about being bolstered by loving, interpretative dancing arms.

Before I ever read the words, I knew it was the scent of the coffee and also love. But I have to admit I love the alien tentacles too.

These posts feel like love letters to the world and I am so here for it. Your posts are amazing reminders that there is so much more good in the world. Big hugs. Thank you, Jenny.

Its actually the tree of love 💕💕 but only people who believe in it strongly see it and its twisted because love grows not really straight because of different ways to love brotherhood friendship family love parents love for their children love for your pets you see love has many branches like your 🌴 so your sketch is totally right 👍❤️❤️

I cannot reduce this to one compliment… please make room for all of them. I’m feeling overwhelmed today and your drawings and emails make me feel less shitty. This drawing speaks to how powerful the aroma of coffee is. Good coffee.

The coffee aroma bathes the nostrils with dark roast yumminess and the tentacles gently caress the brain cells to snap to it!
