I have ventured out to increase my reach by posting about CWJ on different neighborhood FB Groups around my area.
The response has been positive with some folks reaching out, resulting in me having my first virtual coffee with a person completely outside my close network — I have had met with folks I didn’t know but they have been a direct association to Lari’s circle of friends.
The takeaway from Coffee with John #68: we never know what types of treasures we will find once we venture out.
My coffee mate, Elizabeth From Carolina, aside from kindly sharing her story, told me about an Ancient Spanish coin she found on the shores of North Carolina in a remote beach she and her family have been visiting for years. The story of her find is in it self a treasure that she can pass to family, along with the coin itself.
Connecting with a stranger and sharing a conversation for me was the treasure I found in my venturing to broaden my reach. Wander about and find hidden treasures.


That was beautiful. I enjoyed as well!
