I have chronic illnesses due to wegeners disease (Necrotizing vasculitis). Life has been a rollercoaster for me, I try to stay strong and positive!! I was sick for 5 years before being diagnosed. During that time my organs suffered irreversible damage. Wegeners Disease has an extremely high mortality rate without treatment, with up to 80-90% passing away within 2 untreated. I was also pregnant with my beautiful daughter Abigail during this time. I was finally diagnosed when Abigail was about 6 months old in May of 2022. I am currently 32 years old. I’ve remained strong in my spirit. Stay strong.
Much love,
Jennifer E.

Potatoes, Eggs, and Coffee Beans
Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot.
He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing.
After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl.
He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her he asked. “Daughter, what do you see?”
“Potatoes, eggs, and coffee,” she hastily replied.
“Look closer,” he said, “and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.
“Father, what does this mean?” she asked.
He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity– the boiling water.
However, each one reacted differently.
The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak.
The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard.
However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.
“Which are you,” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean? “
Which one are you?
Moral of The Story
The story of potatoes, beans, eggs, and coffee states that there are several things that happen to us, and happen around us in life. But, what truly matters is how we respond to the situation when something happens to us.
The story encourages us to fill our lives with love, big dreams, inspiration, power, integrity, gratitude, etc. so that when you fall into the boiling adversities of life, you won’t get too weak or too hard. Instead, you become magical and spread some positive magic such that one problem gets solved, and another problem soon follows.
Conclusion
Everyone faces some or other problems, but every individual has a different choice on how to respond to the problem or situation. You should teach your child that whenever they face difficulties in life, instead of becoming weak or soft, stay strong and hard. They should always try to give new meaning to their life. Children should know they have power and can strongly control their thoughts, decisions, and actions.
