Thinking Outside of the Box, Employing People with Disabilities


Bitty and Beau's Coffee Shop employs at least 40 capable workers, who happen to have disabilities. 

 I'm pretty sure the world needs more dance parties.  
And I love coffee.  

So on top of the fact that this is a great effort to be inclusive and offer employment to people that generally go unemployed (because of either lack of employers understanding disabilities, or just a lack of "thinking outside the box"),  it seems this idea also brings a whole lot of joy, humanity, and personalization to the daily grind (get it?  coffee shop?)  Badum-ching!

The Key to Happiness: A Harvard Study

The quality of your closest relationships is the key to happiness.  Honesty, communication, ability to depend on our close relations when we need them, ability to be ourselves because we trust those close to us to accept us as we are.  Look for those people in your life that you can depend on.  Look the the helpers.  Look for the dependable and the honest and the people who are fair to you.  Look for those who communicate with you openly.  Those people will be the greatest influences on how happy you consider yourself in your life.  Be one of these people for others to influence lives in a positive way and to contribute to the happiness of others.  Go forth and be happy!
