it has been a challenging year witnessing what has been happening to small businesses everywhere and accepting that it will be some time before we can open up and start supporting the non-profit and charity industry the way we have envisioned.

happy international coffee day! ☕🌍
did you know that in many areas around the world the coffeehouse was the first place where people of different social backgrounds could gather and mingle? coffee fueled debate and discussion, and allowed for people to gather and question social norms. as such, coffee was often seen as controversial and was banned by many political leaders who felt threatened by the gathering of their people.
the coffeehouse was home to many historically significant movements like the French Revolution, discoveries such as those in Isaac Newton's Principia, and writings like Les Miserables.
