a lovely grind

I am grateful to receive many blessings.

For one, November marked the beginning of a new adventure--my first full-time, professional job. With a giggle of hope and the trick of fate, I was given an opportunity to work for a growing coffee company in Austin, Texas. It wasn't enough that the job would be the best possible use of my degree in entrepreneurship--every day I use the knowledge I received in innovation, marketing, finance, accounting, etc. etc.-- but the job also happens to be for one of the kindest families I have ever met.

Since it is an incredibly small company, my two twentysomething co-workers and I have embarked on what I like to call "the entrepreneurial experiment," which I will explain in a minute. Its 2009/2010, and as with most businesses, saving money is a critical key to survival. Therefore, rather than hiring one employee with exceptional experience (the 5-10 years most job postings require nowadays) our boss took on recent college grads who have the desire, freedom, and flexibility to bring about success. My only hope is that we can prove him right.

The best part about starting the job is that the product is great. Throughout college I feared a sales job where I would have to push something I had no feelings for. Luckily, all it took was my first taste of Fara Coffee (black--naturally) and I was in love. To learn more about this delicious coffee, check out the website at www.faracafe.com. On the site you can find information about our incredible history, who carries our coffee, as well as opportunities to buy online.

We also encourage you to become more involved and stay up to date!
