Coffee Together: Breathe
Life can be so stressful. I don’t know if you handle stress the same way that I do, but I often find that I internalize stress quite a bit. Now sometimes, I’ll reach a point that I just can’t hold it in anymore and well . . . lets’ just leave that there. I was…

Meet me for coffee?
One of the things I love most about working at a coffee shop is the opportunity to have coffee with folks that stop in for a few minutes before heading off to their busy day. If I could do that full time . . . I’d be way over caffeinated, but so stinking happy. That’s…

42 things I would tell a younger me. . .
I’m 42 today. I’m less excited about this milestone than the previous 41. The mirror seems to daily tell me that I’m so much older than I feel. Gray hairs abound. Lines seem to appear in places they didn’t exist just a year ago. That being said, I find myself a bit more introspective this year…

One At A Time
On November 30, 2016 I posted this on my Facebook wall: Darrel just walked in, soaked to the bone. “If I wasn’t a big man I’d be bawling my eyes out,” he said. He’s homeless. In an effort to help another homeless camper cross a raging run off of rain water, he fell into water…

My friend, Pastor Barry Kidwell, is certainly in that crowd. Barry has been working with the homeless community in Chattanooga for over 20 years. Every Sunday Night…

Opportunity is Knocking
It exciting! But its kind of scary. You see, Opportunity seldom comes to visit without his little brother Risk. I like Opportunity, he’s optimistic, fun to be around, he’s charismatic, he gets you dreaming about all of the exciting things that could happen. But his little brother Risk, well he’s the two year old running…

The Other Side
George came in yesterday. He was walking on cloud nine. “Cancer Free!” He shouted. He was so excited and we were too. He went on to tell us, how he had been cared for so well. People had given him boxes and boxes of food. He’s a very thin older man, but “We’ll fix…

Cadence Collective
Before I ever ventured into the “coffee business” my ideal “third place” was a local coffee shop with my computer, my headphones, and settling in for a couple of hours of productivity. I did some of my best work right there at that table with life happening all around me. I’m not a “behind the…

Lost & Found
Her mom and dad were standing in our shop today, they looked so weary and worried. They had driven to Chattanooga from Ohio to find their daughter who had gone off the grid and they hadn’t heard from her in a while. They knew she was in a dark place spiritually, emotionally and physically and…
