| Coffee Date Conversations: What’s Currently Brewing- April |

June 4, 2019.Reading time 21 minutes.

This entry is long overdue, but I figured that since this is the first time actually ever drafting up a “love list,” I could take my time. The concept came to me in April, but as you are aware, the month sort of sucked for me. It was a transformative month, yes: I experienced some […]
