Water is just coffee that hasn’t reached its full potential.
10 Days Without ... Caffeine.
As my co-worker, Daniel, goes 10 days without shoes ... I’ve decided to go ten days without caffeine. I know what you’re thinking ... “So what? It’s not like coffee is a big deal.... ten days? that’s nothing!” Sure, that’s what I thought too.
I realize, that means no Starbucks, no via, no espresso, no lattes.... No french press, no keurig, no seattle's best, no blue bottle. You see, I. LOVE. COFFEE.
Every morning, I walk into the office with my 20 oz. mug of “whatever I brewed that morning,” or my grande decaf macchiato that I managed to pick up at my local Starbucks on my way in. I have a Starbucks Gold Card, my baristas know me by name. New employees ask me which Starbucks I work at. It’s not an obsession, I just love coffee.
I decided to take a 10 day break from all caffeine. This means coffee, tea, coffee, chocolate, and coffee. One reason is for my own health, somewhat of a fully body caffeine detox. The second reason is to take advantage of the one thing we take for granted ... water.
Did you know that “one in eight people drink water that will likely make them sick?” Charity:Water works to bring safe drinking water to developing nations. 100% of donations go straight to bringing clean drinking water to those developing nations.
If we give up 4 lattes, we can give one person clean drinking water. If you’d like to join me in this cause you can donate here.
