What do you like to order at a coffee shop?

Melina B is an employee at The Arc of Midland. She makes the office much more fun, and we love seeing her each day. Melina is authoring the blog, and “spilling the tea” about all sorts of things while sharing her perspective! Follow along as Melina posts each Monday for “Mondays with Melina.”

This week, Melina shares why she loves going out for a smoothie or treat and how something as simple as meeting up at a coffee shop can build connection. At The Arc of Midland, we believe in creating inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome, whether that’s at our office, an event, or out in the community. Moments like these remind us that being included doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, it’s just about having someone to sit with and something sweet to sip on.

Without further ado…

Smoothies only or a treat or just hanging out or meeting someone there are nice things to do. Meeting with friends and it is good for our wellbeing to meet somebody just for a coffee or a smoothie is nicer to do in the springtime not wintertime because it is cold.. Is fun doing something like that with peers, friends. Or an old friend you haven't seen it in forever. It is fun getting out in the community.
