Good Evening Lovlies!A huge part of my identity is that I love to to communicate and connect to other people. I occasionally forget this part of me and turn inward but I have made a conscious effort to reach out to new people around me. I want to share a story that occurred at my usual coffee shop recently.--Frozen and windblown I walked in the back door of the Soul Full Cup with work on my mind and bags of work on my shoulders. I was unexpectedly greeted by a room full of college students and a live performer from Philly. Taken aback and aware that I wasn't going to accomplish any work related tasks, I almost turned around and walked out, but then I remembered I need to take time to enjoy life and interact with people!I squeezed through the masses, was able to score a free chamomile tea and a table right next to the singer. He had a messy guitar style, a smooth, distinct voice and a sense of humor. He played a great set and afterward I got up the nerve to ask if he’d let me buy him dinner. He said that would be great but he’s vegan so it might be difficult (I live in a small town).As he talked to the last stragglers leaving the coffee house, I frantically searched my smartphone for a vegan restaurant nearby. Luckily for me Orian was using Couchsurfing (a site where you can connect with kind souls who offer their couch to you during your travels) and his couch for the night knew of a nearby vegan restaurant – a quite fancy one at that. I spent the evening eating delicious vegan food and listening to local artists sing and play guitar on the couchsurfing’s host’s living room floor (which also happened to be a dance studio!). I had an amazing time and I am so glad that I didn't walk out of the coffee house without connecting with the great people I met that night.You can listen to Orion play "Where We're Going" below!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA0bzgv-Ado
