The enthusiasm was oozing out of them, even though you could feel the hidden nerves.
One rushed in late — clearly rattled.
But when they arrived, something shifted.
It felt like everyone was safe.
Everyone was accounted for.
So I waited a moment longer.
Just holding space.
For me that moment matters.
There’s an integrity to it.
An obligation.
A respect for the moment.
When you slow things down, people begin to connect.
They relax.
They breathe.
For a moment, people from different walks of life find common ground and share something vulnerable together.
That’s what Cups of Love is about.
Listening to the moment.
Because when we rush straight into method, the moment disappears and reality kicks in.
Better to harness the enthusiasm…
…and sprinkle it with love. ☕
