Des Moines - Wadena - Des Moines. The Journey of the Bean continues... Now time to get Miss Bean pretty - she's ready & excited to show off her new look.

Gratitude for all the looks, support & encouragement as we get this '78 Babe back on the road with all the Coffees, Teas & Yummies.

Long Day. Blessed. Pinching Myself.

Note of Gratitude. Just a simple note of Thanksgiving for the followership, the support, the Love & the continued interest in the Bean & this Journey to get my 1978 Betty rolling slow w/ all the Brews & Alternatives & Yummies very soon,... & very late 2020.
Today was Beautiful & I wanted to let you know I am grateful for YOU -- I'm doing this for you, for me,.. for ALL of US.. -- & just hang on to your hats!! -- I'm only just getting ready to Rock & Roll this thing OUT! Sooo, let's DO this - Together

Quick note, from me - I get asked a lot about my story, especially now that my little Betty is getting ready to roll soon.. Not great at sharing, so more as we roll along into 2021... °•°Chapter 1. In the beginning..
(JK) °• It's been 10 months since I said Goodbye to a long Corporate career in Denver -- & a few other careers before that -- & said Hello to a new journey to be more present, more authentic & to *just live & find myself again - to help, support, give, and Love More - through a little VW Bus & Coffee -- back home, in Iowa.
•°
Coffee has always been my passion. As are all retro, vintage everythings.. So, the two just fit.
•°
Truth. I was tired of living my life in a small box -- on conference calls, in meetings, in hotel rooms, or on planes & working on the road.. I am grateful. It was good, it was productive, met wonderful humans -- it was time for me to use my gifts, talent, and passion for something better, greater - for community, for women, for Veterans - for ALL of US. .. & on the ground, daily & in a real way -- that brings joy & love & people together. Coffee. VW. Love. Soul. Good Vibes. Celebrating Human Things. °•°We all have a journey. A path. Look for mine rolling along in Central Iowa -- it's Coffee with Soul & it's for all of the right reasons.
[End. Chapter 1]
