Community

"Who cares about Africa? Give us poetry," my Starbucks barista Adam said this morning, making fun of my complaint that there are no longer witticisms on their coffee cups.

And, yeah, Africa is important, but I do miss the poetry. Of course, I don't visit Starbucks every morning for clever cups, or even for my venti chai tea latte with three pumps of mocha and no water.

I visit because Adam and Alex make my day happy. Every morning, I get a friendly start to my day. They smile at me, talk about random events in their lives (Alex slept through his alarm today and Adam had to cover for him until he got in; Adam wants a dwarf to pop out from underneath his fiancée's wedding dress on the big day), and give me this temporary feeling of belonging in a world where I feel I never have a place. They give me community.

Who What?

Megan thinks it's so much fun to write about herself in third person that she can't help but do that now. Megan was born the plump child of two staffing industry sweethearts. At the precocious age of three, she learned to read, bite her younger brother, and help people. She followed her compassion for and love of people into hospice, working as the Volunteer Coordinator, and later Director of Volunteers, for two LA-based hospice agencies. Her experiences there were rather grim, so in December 2009 she made the leap into staffing, satisfying both her compassionate side and her epic need to crush competition. Away from the office (er, laptop, as she is glued to her computer and Droid, and annoys her fiance by working far more than she should), Megan is heavily involved with her church. She loves to write and will someday publish 482 books, loves movies (and alphabetising them), and believes that the Brits spell everything correctly.

About This Blog

Really, this is purely intended as an outlet for me. It's not for you... Okay, maybe it's a little for you. I want to write and take pictures and share both with everyone who wants to read them. So that's all this is. Just my gallery wall, my best-selling novel.
