My sister, Dalayna, recently started a business called Kyrie Coffee. It's really a perfect fit because she loves coffee and she's made it her life mission to change the world.

Anyway, I'm guest posting over on the Kyrie blog today. Stop by and check it out.

Here's a little more about Kyrie Coffee...

WHAT IS KYRIE COFFEE?
Kyrie Coffee is a mobile coffee shop. We use a pop-up shop in order to get out in the community and get coffee in your hand. We serve a number of specialty blends including several flavored blends. We service events large and small, as well as parties… really any kind of gather WE’RE THERE!

WHO IS KYRIE?
The word Kyrie comes from the Greek language. Translated it means mercy. This is the perfect explanation of why we do what we do at Kyrie Coffee. Every cup of coffee goes towards a number of different humanitarian projects. From digging wells in Africa to freeing victims of sex trafficking around the world, Kyrie Coffee exists to extend love and mercy in order to make an impact both locally and globally. When you enjoy a cup of coffee from Kyrie you literally hold mercy in hand. Know that you are in some small way changing the world. And that is a good feeling.

WHAT DOES KYRIE OFFER?
Kyrie is about community. We are about bringing people TOGETHER. We show up where you show up. Whether that be a family party or a work conference, the celebrations in life or just an every day occurrence, Kyrie is here to provide for the needs of your gathering.

This is a copy of a post that I wrote about coffee a month ago. I hope you enjoy and I really encourage you to link up with us!

It was Christmas morning after a long Christmas Eve. I was about nine but I always thought I was an adult and I always acted more self-important than I actually was. After all, I am the oldest grandchild on that side of the family. As I sat at my grandma's kitchen table with my great-grandma sitting next to me I got up the courage to reach over and take that mug.

This was it. This was the moment I proved my adulthood. I made the journey and was ready for my task.

As I felt the warm heat from the dark liquid my heart began to race.

If I had only known that my life would be forever changed.

This one addiction would drive me to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

I would drive all the way across town for one smooth drop of that dark, chocolate liquid.

So here, on Christmas morning, I began up the road of addiction, one that I still haven't quite gotten under control.

Coffee--the bane of my existence. If only you were so good.
