#Influencer

I’m giving myself a caffeine buzz on this National Coffee Day. With coffee as my version of liquid courage, I hereby claim the title of ‘influencer.’

You see, I think my retweet caused a newspaper to follow suit.

The day it was published, I bookmarked a story about coffee cupcakes, mindful today’s dedicated holiday was upcoming. The writer ascribes emotional significance to coffee, suggesting it “turns the light on to possibilities.”

I fully endorse the concept, but would give agency to cupcakes over coffee. I appreciate the sentiment nonetheless.

Some 10 minutes after I tweeted the story, the newspaper retweeted it and quoted this same passage that initially caught my attention.

"Coffee nourishes more than just a body, it turns the light on to possibilities. It’s always there. It’s predictable and offers a warm hug that says, 'Go out and be awesome!'"
