#WeekendCoffeeShare–Thailand, the First Few Days Edition
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you all about how happy I am to be here sharing some coffee with you today.

Scare yourself. Allow yourself to be uncomfortable. You just might will thank yourself later.
[My mantra for this whole whole excursion]
