Spotted a You Are Beautiful sticker while getting an early morning coffee last week, over at New Wave. Now that the project’s Kickstarter was fully funded, I’m expecting to see a lot more of these stickers all over.Spotted a You Are Beautiful sticker while getting an early morning coffee last week, over at New Wave.

While walking to work this morning, Liz happened to see a group of guys working on a large structure. From a distance, it looked a bit like a platform of some kind.

I was in line at New Wave Coffee this AM, and grabbed a pound of coffee beans from a nearby display. As I was checking out the info on the bag of coffee beans, I turned it forward a bit, so I could see better. Apparently, someone had opened up the bag to smell it… because the next thing I…
