finding the needle

there are so many paths but so little time it feels like when trying to get started. I need to calm my “monkey mind” (iykyk) and focus. I want this space to be a place for my thoughts and documentation of the journey.

there is no sense in never getting started and not documenting the steps you are taking along the way, right? it’s extremely difficult to find the time and mental space to create but Cocolani would have wanted me to at least try.

so here I am, trying, obviously I need to make this effort for myself but I can’t help but feeling there is so much more behind me giving me inspiration and support. my wife, daughter, and family/friends included —although at the time of writing this all of this will have been a complete secret.

either way, yapping seems to help and I am happy to do so in the lounge. the new project that we are working on is pretty exciting to say the least but there are multiple projects in the kitchen at the moment.

concept for “keep it cozy cafe”

first off, I am really trying to get off the ground a mobile coffee cart using a kei van. I am currently looking at candidates as the vehicle for this creative endeavor and I am excited that we’ll be keeping it simple. 3 drinks and maybe even one extra for seasonal specials. I have the business plan and currently am exploring ways of formalizing this. it’s exciting. I hope to start off only on the weekends at farmers markets located here in the Pacific Northwest.

who knows if it all works out i’d love to expand and grow but I want to start off small and sell maybe just one cup of coffee? who knows?

Cocolani keeping it cozy

Lastly, and certainly considering this my “passion” project which is a memoir dedicated to our late loving fur baby Cocolani. I want to take my time and publish something for the kindle so other folks who have said goodbye to their fur baby can also grieve. I am taking this at my own pace and grieving in my own way. There is beauty in that and I want to remember all of these stories and adventures in my head while they’re still fresh.

anyways, thanks for letting me yap
