Some of us have conquered our circumstances, with the grace of God, yet so many have no idea what this means, much less how to get here. Sharing, in a comfortable, inviting, non-intimidating environment is welcoming and refreshing. We can all talk a big talk, on Facebook, but face to face interaction (along with great coffee & food) is real talk. Making eye to eye contact is intimate and this is what our relationships should be like. We have become a generic society with generic relationships, with our friends, family, co-workers, spouses, children, etc. Our connections should flourish.
