Welcome
To our Readers,
It is exciting to be in our 3rd issue as we
enter into the summer months here in
Charlotte. Stepping outside to a blast of
humidity can be a little energy consuming
from the start; I often think about how best
I can start each day. That first hour, our first
interaction, maybe the first aroma we take
in may be integral to our mindset as we
move through the iterations of our daily
life. At CLM our dedication to “editorial that inspires” can be a world view
as much as it can be a daily view. I know for so many of us our day begins
with a simple or maybe not so simple cup of coffee.
In this issue, along with our usual compartments you will read a lot not
just about coffee but the atmosphere surrounding it. We will represent
the community value we place in our local coffee houses, where the
Barista knows our names, the atmosphere says come in and stay as long
as you like, and the selections are endless. In an age where “superstores”
are taking over the world our local coffee shops are safe, they offer the
respite we desire, a place to begin each day’s journey, and are always the
perfect place to stop by on our way anywhere.
We are most proudly writing not only about how coffee and the
environment it presents can impact your day, but how it can impact the
world. Our feature article on Climb’s Roast will show you how the vision
of Chip and Cheery Furr are impacting real people’s lives through their
love of roasting the perfect bean. They are putting a face on the people
victimized by Human Trafficking here in Charlotte and waking up the
community to take action and recognize a serious issue.
It is with great heart we thank you…..the reader…. for taking the time
to indulge in what we hope will be both a mindful and artful expression
of the things that surround us, things we
sometimes miss and things that can have a
positive impact on the path we have already
chosen.
