Today I am in Waco, Texas visiting my daughter. I am hanging out at Common Grounds, a coffee spot right off the Baylor campus. I am watching the parade of students come in, order their drinks and go back out to their next class. The woman serving, Hilary, has beautiful eyebrows she is not sure she likes. Sometimes she does, sometimes she doesn’t. I like them, and told her so.

I am down in Waco, Texas at the Baylor University homecoming. Our daughter, Caitlin, is a typical sleep-deprived, coffee-infused college student. Not enough time, too many obligations. Everything is hard and will end in certain disaster. Except it never does.
I really think college is much less about learning stuff and much more about learning yourself and your limits, and how many times you can go over that limit and still survive. So far, so good for Caitlin.

Deep Thoughts and the Barista
We have arrived in Seattle, our final road trip destination! My daughter has been a barista for quite some time, as well as a coffee roaster, office manager, and everything else in the coffee business. So, of course the first thing we did when arriving in Seattle was to hit a nice coffee house! I drew this after meeting a barista who didn’t quite look like this (she was happier looking) and having a conversation with Chelsea about obligation. I couldn’t think of a way to succinctly ‘quote’ our conversation so I did a little question/riddle type thing. Coffee will do that to you, you know.
Anyway, the goal has been achieved and she is now off to start her new life!
I am on to visit family in San Diego for a few days before heading home.

We spent time in Yellowstone National Park, looking at Bison and Waterfalls and bubbling mud pots of steam. It made us imagine what the first people who saw this area must have thought, how scary it must have been for the native peoples to traverse this landscape, for the Europeans to do the same. How that scared quality actually drove them on.

Chelsea is moving to Washington, 1,000 of miles away from home. That is scary. I know she will do well, but it’s still a courageous move and there are fears and unknowns to overcome. I am proud of her and I think facing those fears will make her an even better person than she already is.

What fear are you facing down today?
