Sometimes I stop at the Starbucks on Madison Avenue on my morning walk to work. It\u2019s a bit of a splurge for me, and it makes me a little late for work, but oh, how I love my coffee in the morning! This morning I treated myself.<\/p>\n
The Starbucks is smack dab in the middle of midtown Manhattan<\/span> , so there\u2019s always a line. But that didn\u2019t stop my favorite barista from taking extra care with my venti latte with whole milk. Yum.<\/p>\n I listened to the machine grind the beans for my fresh shots of espresso. I watched the perfectly steamed milk sink into the tall cup of silky smooth coffee as the barista poured. She topped off my drink with the thick foam and smiled big. \u201cOh, look,\u201d she said, \u201cyou got a heart!\u201d<\/p>\n In fact there was a perfect design on the surface of the latte, not easy to do. \u201cDon\u2019t put a top on it,\u201d I said. \u201cI love it!\u201d<\/p>\n I admired her work all the way to my work. \u201cDo all things with love,\u201d the Bible tells us. And today I will follow the barista\u2019s example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sometimes I stop at the Starbucks on Madison Avenue on my morning walk to work.
