I'd like a mocha with a side order of blessings, please...

I am deeply touched by someone I met who works at It's A Grind coffee shop located on the corner of Folsom Blvd.& Blue Ravine in Folsom. Not only do they serve a great mocha w/ soy (my favorite!!), but they also seem to have such warm, friendly owners & employees.

On my way to the office, earlier this week, I decided to make a quick stop & fill up my coffee mug. I started a polite conversation with one of the sweet young ladies while she was busy steaming the milk. She happened to mention that this year her family will be making each other gifts for Christmas. I thought to myself, "what a cute, sweet idea". But then she went on to say that the money they will each save by not purchasing gifts, will instead be used to purchase gifts for girls that have been rescued from an underground sex-slave organization in Cambodia. Wow... WOW!!!

I am grateful for her family's giving spirit.
