Friends

I don't know if you watched FRIENDS, but for my age group, it was a staple of our weekly TV lineup. The iconic group of friends- living in the same building, drinking coffee together, sharing life together. Wow. Isn't that what we all long for? Friends. Human...

Heavy. Hearted.

Leading with Love & Grace

I popped in one of my new favorite coffee shops by the One80 Raleigh office on Six Forks earlier this week, BIGGBY Coffee. Have you visited? Love that place. The baristas are so friendly, and the coffee is yum. Had my first pumpkin-spiced latte of the season and it...
