Ditch grocery store coffee. Support small roasters instead with Trade.
❝I don’t know about you, but like most Americans, the first thing I reach for every morning is my favorite mug and the coffee in my pantry. For years, I grabbed whatever coffee was on sale at the grocery store, never considering its origin. As long as it got me going, that was enough.
But then I found Trade, and it completely transformed my morning routine. Trade connects you with some of the finest small-batch coffee roasters across the country—the kind of local businesses you’d want to visit if they were nearby.
These aren’t giant chains with mass-produced blends; these are passionate artisans crafting coffee that’s fresh, unique, and bursting with flavor.
I took Trade’s quick quiz, and they matched me with coffees I never would’ve found on a grocery store shelf. Now, I can’t imagine going back. Every bag is roasted fresh and shipped straight to me. The difference in taste was astounding—I didn’t even have to change my brewing method. And the aroma? Let’s just say even my neighbor asked what I was drinking. Supporting small businesses has never been easier—or more rewarding.❞

One-Minute Book Review
Aging Solo: A Single Woman’s Guide To Creating A Confident Future – by Ellen Dawson
Many of us will face the challenge of “aging solo”, if indeed we’re not already. The premise of this book is that while it may indeed be a challenge, it can be an exciting challenge rather than a scary one.
Thus, Dawson bids us empower ourselves to tackle it head on, proactively.
To that end, she offers her “EMPOWER” framework:
Embrace the challenge of living solo
Manage money mindfully while welcoming desires
Prioritize vitality and live a vibrant life
Own your identity; build resilience and confidence
Weave bonds: build and maintain relationships (solo doesn't mean lacking connections!
Energize yourself and discover new passions
Renew yourself and create a joyful environment
Now, as listed, those may seem a little vague, but rest assured she goes into great detail in the book, with a whole chapter for each.
For example, prioritizing vitality and energizing oneself can seem like a double-up, but the former chapter is about healthy living in the context of the solo life, while the latter chapter is more about avocation lifelong learning, overcoming fear of the unknown, and making sure to actually live this one precious life, not just go through the motions.
The style is energetic and motivational, and yet backed up with 19 pages of scientific references.
Bottom line: this book is, in essence, a roadmap for aging solo and creating the future we deserve, on our own terms. An enjoyable, practical, and uplifting read!
