Morning Tea: 2019 Smells Like 2018

Posted on January 1, 2019January 1, 2026 By Sammy Younan No Comments on Morning Tea: 2019 Smells Like 2018

So This Is 2019: Shout out to those at last night’s Jaaaaaaam who upon recognizing that the DJ had dropped Follow The Leader opted to…not follow the leader.

You are the rebels, the beautiful nonconformists…the prophets who live on the fringe on the Dance Floor Of Life generously adding spice to our life lives and to our work.

Thank you for all you do and for being patient with us when we don’t see what you see.

Eh…it’s also possible you didn’t want to participate in a conga line or just needed to take a break from dancing.

If so: no matter what…may there be more dancing in 2019.
