Can you believe it’s been 2 years since A Mocha For Your Tuesday was created?
When I first created the Mocha category for our blog, I was looking for a place to share things that set our hearts on fire. Instead of just putting everything into the “Personal” category of the blog, I wanted a place that reflected more intention.
Introducing: A Mocha For Your Tuesday
Here’s my original introduction to the Tuesday Mochas:
“What is more cozy than a steaming mocha on a Tuesday? First of all, coffee just makes everything better. I think some of my most brilliant ideas come from moments where I’m sipping on an expertly poured cup of coffee.
And Tuesday. Tuesday is such a beautiful day. Your week is well under-way, but the weekend isn’t on the horizon yet. For me, Tuesday is the day where I’ve caught up on everything I put off over the weekend. I’m fresh and ready to chase after the potential of the week!
Today we’re introducing our new blog adventure: our Mocha For Your Tuesday series. It’s the more informal side of our J&A Blog, where we really get to share our hearts. You’ll get an inside peek into our lives – what inspires us, the things that mean the most to us, and the heart behind what we do.”
And it had this classy image of our macchiato from Paris:
The First Tuesday Mocha
The very first official Tuesday Mocha I wrote had to do with marriage. It makes sense because that’s the heart of our business!
It was just a simple couple of paragraphs. Words that shared one of the most important lessons we’ve learned in our marriage. {You can read it here}
And without truly meaning to, A Mocha For Your Tuesday officially became something that shares marriage advice, encouragement, and helpful thoughts. It’s the most popular category on our blog, and we still get people reading through even the earliest posts.
65 and Counting….
Today there are over 65 Mochas to browse through. I still can’t believe that! On the occasions that a stranger comes up to me and asks if I’m Amber of Joel and Amber (that always kind of cracks me up!), we’ve had more comments about the Mochas than our wedding tips or sessions!
They’ve evolved a little bit through the years, and my writing and blogging style has hopefully improved, as well. :) But even in its imperfection, the lessons are there!
It’s A Journey, Just Like Marriage
One of my “someday” dreams is to turn some of my favorites into an eBook that can be an encouragement to even more people. You’ll be the first to know when that dream comes true!
So here’s to marriage! The joys, the challenges, and everything in between. Marriage teaches us as much about ourselves as it does about our spouse, and it’s humbling and beautiful all at the same time.
Be Fierce
We believe that marriage is worth fighting for. We hope that as we all grow in our own marriages, we’ll be able to encourage and help each other on this crazy journey!
P.S. If you would like to be a guest blogger and share a marriage lesson you’ve learned, send me an email at contact@joelandamberphotography.com!
