Happy Friday! I hope you are enjoying October as much as I am. September was a hard month, and one I wasn’t sad to see go.  October is always one of my favorite months, but it is absolutely flying by! I have a lot of exciting content happening over here for the end of the year that I am looking forward to sharing with you. Thanks for joining me for my coffee talk for October 2019, so grab a cup and join me in this month’s chat.

My friends over at Tanger Outlets in Mebane are hosting a first ever TangerFit 5K to benefit breast cancer awareness and treatment in the community. It’s October 19, and the Tanger crew gives out some of the best swag bags around!
