Happiness can be found in many different forms. Maybe it’s in expensive tastes, humble beginnings, big elaborate happenings, or small gestures – but happiness can be found. I promise! I routinely find a small piece of happiness at 4:00 p.m. in my cappuccino mug. Espresso is sort of the next love in my life…but who keeps track of that lovey-dovey stuff anyway?
In my earlier years I was a barista. I worked my tail off learning all the details of coffee blends and various brewing methods to experience the whole coffee-house atmosphere in my hands, head, and heart.
Outcome: I learned that working with my hands is a subconscious processor for me. When ideas are out in space the knowledge feels so very far removed from the composite of which I know they are – and then I engage my hands – and now I’m able to sort, sift, and organize my thoughts.
Super Simple…Super Cool.
Truly,
