Let's Sip: Stefanie

Hello Sippers, Lately, I have been keeping busy with the self-improvement theme of this quarantine. Reading, working, and learning to better myself while stuck inside the boundaries of my house. The latest book on my lap being one that had been gifted to me on my birthday: How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie . One that I will instill the first lesson from the first chapter on you now. Lesson 1: Don't Criticize, Condemn, or Complain From this chapter I have changed the way I go about conflicts.  Such as, when I disagree with someone I don't criticize their decisions. Giving someone your criticism does absolutely nothing but to put the person receiving the backlash on the defensive. They feel the need to justify their actions. Most criminals, at least according to the book, don't see wrong in their wrongdoings but see their doings as a public service.

It’s hard. Everyone in the United States is practically trapped at home like a prisoner. People are incredibly sick and people are dying. It’s incredibly hard.   A day that was supposed to be filled with the joy of family has been reduced to one of the three days of the week: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.   For some people, they are trapped alone. I was lucky to be with my family. But for those of you who are alone, have lost someone, or are sick please know my heart is with you.   I don’t have much to say today, but I wish everyone the best.   Cheers. -Stef.  

I drink black coffee. Plain and simple black coffee. No sweetener, sugar, or Splenda of any kind. Not a drop of milk no matter the kind. Just straight up black coffee.   Ironically, this is also how I want people to talk to me: with the straight truth. I don’t mind the bitter. I prefer the truth. It’s hard to swallow at first, but when you adjust to the taste it makes it easier. This is how I plan on telling my personal stories; with every ounce of truth I can give. Starting with my story. I’ll start with the basics and over time give you more. My name is Stefanie. Yes, it is spelled with an F. My mother wanted to be different when naming me so she replaced the ph with an F.   I went to school for Television/Film. It is my second love and one of the many things I enjoy to do. So I may go back and forth between blogging/vlogging. Depends, which one I am in the mood for that day. There will be more to come soon…   Videos, Words, and all. Cheers. ...
