THE LOST HAS BEEN FOUND!!
(So many meanings there!)

Losing your coffee—- the story could have had such a sad ending. But instead, it led to new connections.

Connections. Its what we are ALL about!

Special thanks to Cindi for letting me share this story— I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

Coffee. Bringing people together one cup at a time.

Happy Tuesday Friends.

@columbuscoffeefestival — recovery day.

Also— we LOVE all 8 mugs from all 8 years. (We’re one three vendors that has been at ‘em all!)

Personally, partial to the ‘16 mug and ‘20 mug designs. #justsayin (even tho the ‘20 Festival was a virtual box that mug is slappin’ as my staff would say 😂)

Which mug is your fave? Which ones do you have?

Whew. We made it to the end of Columbus Coffee Festival.

What. A. Weekend.

I can’t say thanks enough to all of you who stopped by and said hi (especially the regulars - it’s such a joy to see you all!) or to the countless friends and staff who helped in some capacity to make this weekend happen. We’re just so grateful.

As I drove home, I couldn’t help but laugh at the irony of events that unfolded.

Yesterday, just before the event began, we were asked to join the director for a live feed with Good Day Columbus.

The goal— make pour overs in the background of this Q&A session. Sounds easy enough.

Because of lighting, we had to make a last minute move from our school house to the pictured set up. NBD. We’re just “pretending” —- except that when it was time, Nate was instructed to make the pour over.

Friends. It was lukewarm water with an arbitrary amount of beans thrown into the pour over.

Okay. You shouldn’t be able to notice… EXCEPT that 5 seconds to the live feed starting… THE FILTER BREAKS.

Nate quickly salvages what he can, tosses it into the prepped pour over next to it and keeps pretending.

Grounds everywhere— we just are in the “fake it til you make it” survival mode. We’re just background, right?

SURPRISE….. the cameraman zooms in all kinda close ups and the coffee looks AWFUL. anyone who knows anything about poor overs at all can visibly tell some thing is amok with his cup of coffee.

Here we are highlighted as experts at a coffee festival Q&A, and it looks horrendous.

All the thoughts run through my head as we even end up getting interviewed for a feature.

What will people think? these thoughts flooded my head often on all day yesterday. But as I drove home today, I began laughing as I immediately remembered this truth:

Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. No one knows about the sheer disaster that took place right before the live feed began… And it doesn’t matter. We’re all just doing our best.

So— with that in mind on this Sunday evening might I encourage you friends?

Smile. Remeber— there’s always a backstory you don’t know— so— offer grace.

Alright— I’m off to crash for the rest of the night!

✨Single Origin✨

Organic Honduras — Light Roast:
Slightly sour notes with a strawberry finish and a full body flavor…. This is perhaps Nate’s favorite coffee.

New bag design just in time for Columbus Coffee Festival. We’re ready for day two! Who we gonna see?

(These bags will be in stock at the shops later this week!)

Struggle Bus

I have found there are weeks where I can simply not get off the struggle bus.

Prepping for coffee fest is no small task. We’re basically taking our entire operation and setting up offsite. With enough supplies for 6000 people at a sold out festival, while being on site from 7a-6p both Saturday and Sunday—-it is exhausting simply thinking about it.

I’m in early today with two small catering gigs, followed by typical Friday morning craziness, event set up all afternoon— and then tonight is 8th Grade night for marching band….. and we then the fest begins bright and early tomorrow. 😴
See that struggle bus was RIDING real hard yesterday. My gracious team…. My half sentences of instructions and random continual tasks I would throw their way… With smiles on their faces, they last alongside me as we got most of the prep done.

Then— last night, grace from friends, whose committee meetings I missed — simple oversight on my part, but totally grace shown to my struggle bus ride.

The really cool part: I shared this insanity with my children— i keep it real around here. But in the midst of what i thought was great parenting connection….aunnica reminded me that i have yet to take her shopping for jeans.

🙄Have you ever tried clothes shopping with teenagers?

So, like any wise parent, I told aunnica to just order several pairs off Amazon
Problem solved.

You don’t have to have a high emotional intelligence to see by my child’s face that solution was not exactly gonna cut it…..

In the middle of what I thought was an EXCELLENT parenting rant… I heard it…. The whisper:

Be present.

Just like that, I realized that are one hour and took us to Michael’s. Next-door: Old Navy. I could spare 30 minutes to let my girls try on some jeans.

Even better— we FOUND THEM. (No small miracle friends) AND they were on sale 🥳

So this morning before the insanity kicks up to the 10th°, I’m pausing and choosing to be present. In the midst of then crazy, struggle bus ridden list of to do’s—- to not miss the moments right now.

But I encourage you this Friday friends?

Be present. Show Grace. Take it step-by-step.
