Over second and third cups flow matters of high finance, high state, common gossip and low comedy. Coffee is a social binder, a warmer of tongues, a soberer of minds, a stimulant of wit, a foiler of sleep if you want it so.

I've been trying to find a way to invite those in bloggy world in to the Friends in Healing chatroom on this site for our "Morning Coffee Club." Each day, between around 7 am and 10 am CST, we have a good group of chatters who come in, linger a bit, sip our coffee, talk about our plans for the day, oh and ahhh about the good thing that just happened in someone's life, offer a bit of wisom with a struggle someone might be experiencing that day, give an encouraging kick in the bumm to someone who needs to get something done that day. People come in before they leave for work. Some come in right when they get there (shhhhhhhhh). For people who work from home it's a nice way to have some fellowship and connection with other people.
Don't let that bigggggg word "Healing" fool you! We're all just regular folks, dealing with regular struggles, making regular mistakes, and choosing to pay attention to areas where we can grow and accepting that the need for a little nurturing doesn't end when you turn 18 and head off to college. It's easy to register, it's free. No strings attached. Just click the link under the "Friends in Healing Registration" in the right column. You create an anonymous username. It asks for your real name but I don't care if you put in WonderWoman. (always wanted to be her). If you have any questions about the room, or the process for registering, please email me at friendsinhealing@gmail.com.
And as this post is my Sunday Sketch for the week, don't forget to head on over to the Blue Chair Diary to see the work of some other wonderful sketchers!
