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.

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. ☕💛

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!

I’ll be in Duluth on Tuesday morning filming a TV segment for my upcoming book, Joy Is the Strategy. I’ve got a little window around 10am and would love to grab coffee and a hello. Who’s in? @Krissy Johnson? @Destiny Godden? Anyone else? Or anyone who I should be reaching out to?

MN friends 💛 Sending so much love to our community today. This week has reminded us why community matters - why showing up, checking in, and standing together is everything. If you’ve been feeling heavy, you’re not alone. If you’ve been feeling hopeful, share that too. We hold it all here. And speaking of being together… Who’s coming to brunch on the 18th? 🥐☕️ Good food. Real connection. Big Minnesota hearts. Drop a 💛 if you’ll be there or if you’re sending love from wherever you are.
