Each day of the week that I'm going into work, I stop at one of my favorite coffee shops - The Seattle Drip. I've been going there for some time now. Years actually, thanks to a tip from my best friend & sister Andie! You can't meet better people, or get better coffee in my opinion.
Every time I pull up, I'm greeted with a cheerful smile, and feel genuinely appreciated for showing up to buy coffee. And the employees are great listeners. Whether I'm having a rough start, or a calm morning, I always find someone who seems happy to see me, fixes me the perfect cup of coffee, and listens to whatever meaningless or meaningful chatter I'm putting out there.
I've felt a lot of inspiration from this group over the years. There is always a flier for a community event up for the customers to preview (right now it's Sandi Patti). Every Christmas, there are reminders about donating to the less fortunate. This week it's a reminder to donate to Southern Pines Animal Shelter! Jake (an employee there) and his dog will participate in the Doggie Dash on Saturday to benefit the shelter. Nevermind the employees who share tidbits of their own lives & generosity that remind me to be more generous than my greedy heart would be on its own.
If you've not been to The Seattle Drip, go there! Ask for a Jenn Special and tell 'em Kristin sent you. You won't be disappointed!
