For several years, the coffee shop has been my favourite place to read, write, think and debate. I love the prop of a hot cup of coffee to inspire something. Sometimes it's work related, other times it's purely creative although the former seems to be more common these days.
Like many people, I've written many brilliant blog posts that would likely change your life... or perhaps not. I long to be deep enough to inspire someone but, of course, when you try to do this you simply come out sounding like a pretentious ninny. I journal pretty regularly and only recently have I come to terms with the fact that it's not really that likely that one day, someone will go through my personal journal and publish the brilliance of my private thoughts. I used to write with this in mind. Now, thankfully, I write my journal for my own benefit. Quite a bit more simple to be honest.
So, here I am, once again trying to write something that someone might read. Why? I think because I feel the need to have a public platform where I can air out my thoughts. Perhaps I'll be the only one to go back and read these posts or perhaps a few people might stop by.
The coffee shop offers many starting points for conversation. Having worked at a coffee shop once for seven years, I have a bit of experience with the the types of conversations that can take place in a coffee shop. You see any type of person; some looking as though they were born to sit in a coffee shop and others looking more out of place than a palm tree in Kelowna.
So... here I go. I'll write some thoughts, maybe you'll read the thoughts, maybe you'll comment on the thoughts...
