It was a great night at my fiancés book launch here in Minnesota @Rachel Bents, it’s been a hard month here in Minnesota so we got to celebrate and come together thanks for all that came out especially people that traveled from beyond the state line, posting a little cheer on a great night and the release of her book The Joy Is The Strategy, look forward to planning some events here in the great state of Minnesota, God Bless Everyone

I want to create a sustainable, real-life meetup. Something easy to say yes to. Something that fits into real lives. So we’re starting with coffee. Join us for the MN IRL Coffee Meetup, happening every third Sunday of the month. No agenda. No pressure. Just community, conversation, and a really good cup of coffee. We’ll keep it simple and rotate locations each month to support local spots around Minnesota. ✨ Our very first meetup: 📍 Dogwood Coffee 🗓 Sunday, February 15 from 1 - 3pm 📌 1209 Tyler Street NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413 Come solo or bring a friend. Stay five minutes or stay awhile. This is about showing up as you are and building connection in a way that actually lasts. Future locations will rotate, so check back each month for details. Sustainable community starts with simple moments. Coffee felt right. ☕💛

Minnesota friends 🤍 What if we built something here that felt less like networking and more like neighbors showing up for each other? Let us come together and uplift one another. Let us create circles of love where every voice is valued. No pressure to be impressive. No need to have it all figured out. Just real people, real conversations, and a whole lot of kindness. This is about connection. About saying “you belong here.” About making Minnesota feel a little warmer, even in winter. Grateful you’re part of this circle. Let’s keep building something good together.

We’re currently on the calendar for THURSDAY night at Pizza Luce. Low-key. Easy. Pizza + good humans. Before I lock it all the way in, quick pulse check: Would you rather 🍕 Keep THURSDAY night pizza ☕ Switch to a Saturday morning coffee hang Comment 🍕 or ☕ and I’ll go with the group. Either way, the goal is the same: being together. Joy is better in community.

In light of dangerous temps and windchill we are going to postpone pizza night! I promise to get something on the calendar soon - and there is also talks about a meet up in Duluth in February!!!! Stay warm friends!
