“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
Albert Einstein
Listening To: Thursday by Jess Glynne
This song…. repeat all day long. It makes me cry and makes me feel like I deserve to be a very happy and very ALIVE me. I hope it does the same for you. And let’s not wear makeup this Thursday, k?
It’s 2021. Time to love ourselves and be who we are.
To the Crazy Ones!
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Sunday Cafe and Restaurant in Islington, London
There is so much to love about Sundays. Yes the coffee is divine, the food is phenomenal and the location is sublime – but the people are also really terrific as well. Expect a line. There is almost always a line, but especially at brunch. Serving takeaway during lockdown, but you can always pick up thier cookbook and try your hand at some of their favorite recipes, yourself at home.
Don’t Get Comfortable
“Change isn’t easy… changing the way you live means changing what you believe about life. That’s hard… When we make our own misery, we sometimes cling to it even when we want so bad to change because the misery is something we know. The misery is comfortable.”
Dean Koontz
Listening to: This Could Change Everything by Francesca Battistelli
This song (and tbh others of her music) just makes me so damn happy! I feel like I can do it all when I hear this and I have to smile. I couldn’t stop it if I tried – and trust me, I’m not trying to stop it! 🙂
Cappuccino at Half Cup in Saint Pancras, London
Half Cup has delicious food and amazing coffee…. all in a quick few strides from Kings Cross. Sadly closed Nov 4, 2020 until Dec for the second lockdown, but be sure to set your timers for when it opens up again and if you are around the area, but sure to pop in!
Make the World Brighter
“The world always seems brighter when you’ve just made something that wasn’t there before. “
Neil Gaiman
Bake Shack’s 007 Cappuccino
OK, I’m starting a new thing this month on the site that has to do with some of my favorite Coffee Shop finds all around the globe. How does this relate to Digital Experiences? Have you ever tried to do anything throughout the day without starting off with some coffee… Nuff said! 😉
OK, fine… I have a tendency to need a LOT of caffeine to get me rolling through the day and I have a penchant for cool coffee places that offer up delicious flavors and ideally tasty treats. I also know I’m not the only one. So here is our first installment with the tasty 007 – a favorite that can be found at the little-but-mighty Bake Shack in Dania Beach, Florida on US1.
Don’t let the unassuming small black building fool you, this shop packs a punch when it comes to coffee and donuts – all homemade. Go on a weekend and get the also homemade cinnamon buns slathered in sweet lush frosting – a perfect treat to go with your coffee.
Pictured here is another one of their famous fresh donuts with blueberry cake crumbles on top. And no – I didn’t even feel a little guilty.
Change Begins With Us
“You cannot change what you are, only what you do.”
