Thank you so much, Riza! Your Well inpired me a lot, not mentioning our session together. I was so procrastinating on my Substack creation and our session validated the fact that it was my best next move, whatever the outcome. Thank you for that. Your work is really, really important and enlightening for people like me. Lots of love.

I love your creativity in setting up this “cafe”, and all the little appropriate details, like the “weekly special” and the “playlist”! Such wonderful ideas! I look forward to becoming a paid subscriber soon! In the meantime, best wishes with Life, the Universe, and Everything! 🥰❤️💖

Thank you, Rebecca. I’m so happy you like the set up of my little Café! When I started my Substack, I didn’t want to only talk about my life, but to create a virtual place for a community to birth around what I had to share, which is very much still a work in progress, and the idea of a cosy gipsy café with colorful cushions everywhere popped into my mind. And I’ve always loved the idea of being a bartender!

Rebecca Cooley, people who can see gold in others-like you- are the real good.

I don't refute, however, the fact that Amanda is GOLD, too.

She is so nice a lady. At least if I am to judge by her countenance.

Looks never lie.

I’m new here but of course would love to say more about this cafe which I believe resembles Jazz de buffang house by Cèzanne.

I amn't that so interested in fiction- I personally like non-fiction- but you generally look to be an amazing person, Geraldine- that is why I am commenting without having read anything from the article.

Just my way of saying THANKS TO ONE BEAUTIFUL SOUL ON THIS PAGE- YOU!!!!
