# Some Gossip on gossip and what coffee has to do with it.
Godsipp (God and sib (akin), godmother or godfather) was in the 12th century a word used for both men and women in fables and amongst society. The church recognized the word as well. It was used to name companions present at childbirth, just like the midwife. Sometimes, it was used to mention close friends. It represented the strong ties between women, which surpassed their relationship with their husbands. Was it witchery that strong and independent women preferred their gossip over their husbands? Well, that is something that hasn't changed since the middle ages.

And someday there will be a great awakening when we know that this is all a great dream.*
*And when I say you are dreaming, I am dreaming, too.*

A Christmas tree sits lit by candles next to a window. On the windowsill sits a still warm cup of cocoa, framed by the view of an enormous star that illuminates the snowy field. Christmas is a card of hope. A time of renewal, comfort and homeliness lies ahead. It is now time to leave the hard times behind. The star shines alone through the window, filling the landscape with positivity and opportunity.
