Morning Coffee with Fanny

My week has been crazy busy and I could not swallow the thought of not posting. Today, I share with you some of my Favourite’s quotes from various sources:  “A well read woman is a dangerous creature”. Unknown  “She reads books as one would breath air, to fill up and live”. Annie Dillard “When I think of all the books still left for me to read, I am certain of further happiness”. Jules Renard  “Whatever our souls are made of his and mine her the same”. Emily Bronté What are some of your favourite quotes? HERE IS TO MORE COFFEE TALKS.

Have you ever read a book series so good you ended up missing meals and doing yoga just to comprehend what you just read? Well, that was me the first two times I read the ‘After’ book series by Anna Todd. I am currently reading them for the third time. I first watched the movie and LITERALLY fell in love. Reading the novels changed my life. In the novels, the author brings to life a relationship based on two young people dealing with all sorts of demons of their own and exploring love. The relationship was toxic and we saw some drug use here and there. She literally touched base on what some of us go through. Making it so much more relatable. Despite the ups and downs of life, the author was able to show that change is inevitable. When I say these novels changed me, I mean they made me look at life and relationships from a different perspective. I think we should all want so much for ourselves in life before we want it for other people.   I want to live a life that doesn’t solemnly...

If anyone 7 to 8 years ago had told me I would ever do something out of my comfort zone I would have laughed in their face. I had always been that shy girl next door. Heck, the shy girl in every situation. So today’s post is about how life happened and how I finally, kinda, stepped out of my shell by doing the project “Through The Readers Eye” #ttre and what I accomplished.   Through the readers eye is an amazing picture telling series. Where many wonderful pictures of me were taking reading books around Nicosia, Northern Cyprus. Follow me on Instagram @cestfannyl or click the link  https://www.instagram.com/cestfannyl/ 1. Despite doubting myself I managed to gather the courage and still got in front of the camera. I am my biggest critic though looking at how beautiful the pictures turned out, is a reminder me even when I am unsure of myself, I should go for it.   2. If shyness was a person, then I was it, in the flesh. Most of amazing pictures I took were and had...

  Thinking back to 2014, memories of living free and being completely happy come back to mind. It was a year of many open doors and opportunities. Four years later I could barely enjoy doing anything as school had managed to take the life out of me. Nevertheless, being home has allowed me time to reflect and honestly find happiness within. Part of this journey meant that I had to start putting effort and more time into the things I loved. I.e writing.  Many a times we forget how blessed we are. If you and I have a talent why not use it for the greater good and share it with others? It could have a positive impact on them. I found the will to motivate myself to start writing again. Writing because I enjoy it and I thought my thoughts were worthy to be read by another. So week after week, I put in progress. Not only in writing but also coming up with new ideas of how I can reach a bigger audience. And hoping that my will to write never dies.  Progress may be slow but good t...

Forever 21 Happy , happy birthday to me! One of my Favourite numbers is 6 and I thought for today’s post I would share with you the 6 life lessons I have learned.  Be happy. Scientist say it promotes a healthy lifestyle. Be positive. This allows me to see things from a different perspective. Have patience. I have learned to let things unfold naturally. Letting nature take its course.  Be grateful. I remind myself of each and every blessing I am surrounded by.  Believe. I believe that everything is working in my favour.  Live. I feel like I am an old soul but I remind myself to live a young and unapologetic life filled with fun and love. Today we take coffee shots.  HERE IS TO MORE COFFEE TALKS.

Goal setting for me, has deflected from being  a mere thought and simply praying about it to noting it down. This year I thought I should not only focus on the major things I want to achieve in life but the small/ short term goals. I am talking about goals I can achieve daily. It is not only about setting goals but putting into action which has been a big challenge to me. One of my short term goal was to write consistently, believe you me, it took me a long while to get started but I told myself I need to before my birthday, hence, we are here. Besides writing, i have also set a goal to read 2 novels/books each month. I have challenged myself to post daily for 6 constructive days. From here I will focus on posting short stories on my other blog.                                                        HERE IS TO MORE COFFEE TALKS.

Ever read a book that left you feeling unexplainable feelings? At a young age I would read and actually draw from time to time. I thought I would venture into drawing like my brother, at this period I do not recall where sister was. Barely know where she came from.  Perhaps, shoprite as parents usually lied.  Slowly, I developed a strong liking for stories. And soon I was falling in love with my high school library.  Unknowingly, that I could construct interesting sentences, I would often get compliments first for my handwriting and then my writing from teachers and friends.              I guess University helped unleash that, that I could not see. From there, it’s all been a go. Writing allows one to be free. In addition, it is an opportunity to tell all sorts of stories. Allowing myself to fall in love a million times over and sometimes to make you away that you are not alone. It is a lot. We have to take it step by step. You ha...
