Hi ,

Coffee & Sunrises

I love finding joy and gratitude in little things, so here are a couple of photos I recently took that I hope will bring you a smile.

I've been trying to leave earlier for my morning walks, due to the icky summer heat in our part of the world (Austin, TX area). Recently, I caught this beautiful sunrise. It's hard not to feel hope when you see this gorgeous eastern sky!

Some of you know I enjoy doing latte art. Several days ago, I poured this latte, and it's one of my favorites I've done! The great thing about latte art is that even when my art isn't the prettiest (which is often), it still tastes great.
