It takes a lot of something to have a meet up/ event in a city where nobody knows you.  What was suppose to just be a vacation some how ended up being that and what some of my family members considered “work”.  The beauty of Coffee Talk is the opposite.  It’s a  need, a love that I have that cost me nothing.  Good intentions x an invite and the rest is out of my hands.

I woke  up already excited and over the moon happy.  Here I am well rested, stuffed and  in these tiny historic streets.  What can possibly go wrong?!

First Coffee Talk where there was no coffee. We talked, laughed and learned about each other.  Not once did any of the attendees pull out their phone.  Not for a selfie, capture the talk… nothing…..like wow. I usually try to get at least a capture for social media, but It was an uneasy feeling to even  attempt when no one else was. Maybe it’s a southern thing or the energy was just too good.  Either way it left an impression. Lesson: be fully invested in the moment with all of you.  Thank you Guys.
