I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together.

From Sept. 16 through 29, guests can get a free small McCafé coffee during breakfast hours at participating McDonald’s restaurants across the country. This event builds on McDonald’s first-ever Free Coffee Event launched in March, when the company gave away millions of cups of free coffee during the two-week period.


This is the best kind of promotion.  It’s something you need for free. Remember, you heard about it from me! Even though I am a tea drinker, I might just check it out myself!
