#6 Coffee with John

November 5

Rush Expresso

Had my first threesome this morning – not in that way. Get your mind out of the gutter. Please!

In the sense that I have been meeting people one-on-one for Coffee with John. This morning was the exception and it was good, baby. Again, take your mind out of the gutter. You are just incorrigible.

Anyway…

The takeaway: find the inner strength to overcome life challenges. It might take time or help and guidance from others but how you get there is not the point. The possibility is there for the take.

Another takeaway: ask yourself what are you doing to help yourself and your community in your daily life?IMG_20181105_085542

#5 Coffee with John

Got so wrapped up in today’s Coffee with John conversation that I forgot to take the obligatory picture during.

The takeaway: enjoy the moment; also, people in your life are hidden treasures. Take the time to cultivate relationships with people that surround you.

#4 Coffee with John Meeting, Virtual Edition

Had my first virtual Coffee with John early this morning. Honestly, I was apprehensive about doing it virtually for a variety of reasons but I am glad I did.

Truly left a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart.

The takeaway: take a plunge and do something, not necessarily out of your comfort zone, but something you are just not all that sold into at first. You never know what you might discover.

The other takeaway: reach out to old friends; it might do your soul good.

Truly enjoying Coffee with John Sessions. Wonderful meet-up this morning. Just connecting and getting to know people better is an enriching experience.

That’s the takeaway today – connect with people and get to know them better. You might learn something new and be exposed to a whole different world.

POSTSCRIPT: I soon found out that not everyone drinks coffee. They opted for tea. Still, the conversation was priceless.

POSTSCRIPT: Before I had made Coffee with John official, I had already met with two friends. This October 19 meeting became the official kick-off of the Coffee with John. After this meeting, I also started incorporating a takeaway from each meeting.
