It is both with a heavy heart and excitement for what the future holds that we wish to announce that we are taking the coffee out of MAD Cow Coffee.

The last 6 years have been some of the most challenging and the most rewarding for myself and our wonderful team. We have connected with thousands in our community, held broken hearts, given hope a place, shared our grief, picked up the pieces and saved numerous lives through our commitment, compassion and dedication to creating a safe place for people to feel safe and connected.

The time has come for me to head back to ‘real’ work. Wednesday was our last day at the Mackay Farmers' Market; saying goodbye to the dedicated farmers and artisans committed to our local community was tough.

Tomorrow will be our last Mackay Showground Markets. Be sure to pop in and say goodbye 👋 we have loved serving up our delicious brew to stallholders and the market community every Saturday.

Sunday will be our last official event; you can catch us at the CQU Mackay Campus for the Sweet Repeats - Second Hand Clothing Market. (This is a waste fee event- reusable cups only)

We will continue to service the Troppo Markets- Mt Pleasant on a monthly basis. We will also continue to volunteer our time in our ambassador roles and with local partners in Su***de prevention to ensure our herd is taken care of 🐮

Thank you Mackay for all of your support over the last 6 years 🎗️❤️‍🩹

Peace, Love, Hope, Healing
Sonya

Thanks to this crew for walking with me.

9km in memory of the 9 people a day in Australia that die by su***de.

We walk to remember our son
We walk to show our support
We walk to raise awareness
We walk to shine a light in the hope that no one else spends their darkest hours alone

Let’s keep the conversation going

A massive thanks to the lovely Baz, Wendy from Healthy Clean and Green and Tanya from Downunder Group Solutions for walking with me and of course our mascot Mocha who managed to walk nearly the whole way!

🎗️🐮

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day…
It is a time to remember those we have lost to su***de and the survivors and show our support to those of us that struggle each day with suicidality 🎗️

Su***de is the leading cause of death in Australia for people aged between 15 and 49.

We can Change the Narrative

We can learn to start conversations and follow them through with support and connection.
We can be more tolerant and kind to each other
We can reach in instead of expecting people to reach out.

Kindness is like glitter, spread it everywhere 🐮

What’s in your cup today…

Fill your cup with things that make you smile 😊

If you shake my cup, baked goods usually come out 🍪🍩🥮🧁🥧 🤗

What do you do to shake off what rattles you?

I love this analogy!

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee?

"Well because someone bumped into me, of course!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.

Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.

*Whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out.*

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

*So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"

When life gets tough, what spills over?

Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?

Or anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?

You choose! 💯

Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness and love for others. 🙌🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻
