November 7th

Today, I had back-to-back Coffee with John meetups. The second one turned to Clean Juice with John because that’s how we roll – got to be flexible in life.

Also, since it was my first time at Clean Juice (Stonecrest plaza), they gave me my order for free.

The takeaway: it’s okay to be vulnerable.

This was my 8th or 9th Coffee with John and I had not shed a tear until today. It’s okay to cry. Sometimes you got to let it out.

Just glad I had a wonderful, kind and just all around awesome friend to lend me a shoulder to cry on.

Had my first Coffee with John at the house this morning.

I enjoyed making the coffee to share.

The takeaway: get to know your neighbors. It might surprise you to learn a bit more about the people that live close to you (you might want to move afterwards). Just kidding.

Delightful is how I would describe today’s Coffee with John session. The takeaway: don’t judge people without first getting to know them better. We all have more in common than we can ever imagine

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…

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.

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.

Rush Expresso

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.
