w: wellness & beauty: Rest in Peace
May 28th, 2008. Written By Lauren Johanson.
We each find our sense of peace in different ways. Some like to paint. Others run. I enjoy sipping a latte at my local café. I allow myself to get lost people watching, daydreaming or aimlessly chatting with strangers. I find that this “coffee time” gives me the mental space necessary to re-wire. Plus, I can rest in peace at any of these local cafes, knowing that they offer an array of Fair Trade coffees.
