Miserable, wet weather. If I was French, i'd possibly call it Les Miserables. On the upside, good coffee tastes better when you're cold. Went to a great place today called Mecca, think it won 2nd best coffee in Sydney, or something. I like the basics of it and am always looking for ideas for my espresso bar, when/if I open one. I've been thinking about it loads lately...thinking about how lucky we are and how much we have compared to so many. When I visited Freeset last year (http://www.freesetglobal.com/) I was so touched at what I saw...and so aware of how little I could do to help, in terms of actually being there and helping... they needed locals to be there and to have those jobs, it's people like me who can support by paying the wages of those workers, to help hire new hands and to expand their amazing business...setting more people free.
So, i'm thinking; I open an espresso bar where it's about supporting something like freeset, or an orphanage...much of the profit goes to support the 'project' and to share knowledge and educate people of the huge needs out there. It's so easy to live here comfortably, doing whatever we want with our money, but there's such need out there...and more importantly, such injustice. We can really help. And I want to. The Flaming Badger may not be such an appropriate name here...but I can work on it.
I don't know, I guess I just want to make a difference, somehow, whatever it looks like, be it going there and helping (and probably getting in the way of people who can do the job better) or by telling people about it and supporting it financially. I JUST WANT TO DO SOMETHING.
Who's with me?
