Death Cafe

A good friend of ours messaged me today a picture of a flyer, entitled 'Death Cafe'. Upon reading the description, I was instantly intrigued. "Death Cafes provide an opportunity for community members to gather together and have a casual conversation about death. The conversation is led by attendees..." At the end of the description, there was a website www.deathcafe.com. I checked it out and there are a BUNCH of these 'get-togethers' all over, but mainly on the west coast. I checked our area for another meeting, but the last one was April 25. Browsing around their website I learned about what it takes to start up a non-profit Death Cafe, and it's simple. You aren't paid for being affiliated with Death Cafe, and it is an event that should be free to those attending. (There was an option to ask for a donations, but you have to list what the donation is going towards i.e. food, refreshments, etc.) Anywho. This would be an AWESOME opportunity for me to get to talk to others who, like me, love to talk about the experience and mystery of death and dying. I wouldn't mind breaking out of my insecure shell and actually hold one of these events! I am currently listening to a playlist of Ted-talks that was provided by the Death Cafe website, and some are intriguing, some not so much... but once I find a great one I will post it here. :-)

Today has been good! Overcast, but 80 degrees. Got all my work done for the day here at my job, so I think I will write another post about gorgeous men... MmmmMMMMmmm.... Stay tuned.
