About Me -

From Wallflower to Chatterbox at 54!

Hey there! I'm Carrie, and at 54 years young, I'm living proof it's never too late to discover a whole new side of yourself!

For most of my life, I was "the quiet one" – content to listen from the corner rather than be the center of attention. Then life threw me a curveball...

A two-year long-distance relationship became my accidental conversation masterclass! Over 3,000 hours of calls and video chats (okay, I didn't count, but it was A LOT!) taught me that chatting could be pure joy.

What started as a necessity became a passion – I discovered I had stories to tell!

While that relationship didn't last, my love for genuine conversation did. I'm hooked on how stories connect us, and sharing makes us feel less alone.

What You Can Expect:

Weekly themed conversations – from "Funniest Family Traditions" to "Life's Plot Twists"

Coffee events are 2.50/ea.

Email announcements with our weekly themes.

Ready to gab? Pull up a chair – I've got stories, and I can't wait to hear yours! ☕💕

## "Let's Get This SHINDIG Rolling!" - Intro Meeting

***

• Grab your favorite mug and settle in - whether it's that chipped one from college or your fancy "boss babe" cup, all coffee vessels are welcome here!
• This is your judgment-free zone - come as you are: messy bun, no makeup, still in pajamas at 2 PM? We've all been there, honey!
• Think of this as your virtual front porch - where neighbors used to gather to spill tea (literally and figuratively) and solve the world's problems one sip at a time.
• We're here to laugh, learn, and maybe cry a little - because the best conversations happen when we're real, raw, and caffeinated.
• No topic is too big or too small - from "How do I adult?" to "What's my life purpose?" - we're covering it all with equal parts wisdom and humor.
• This gathering is about connection - building a community where we can be authentically ourselves without the Instagram filters.

### 🎉 The Actual History of "Shindig" 🎉

• Etymology traces back to the 1840s-1850s - the word "shindig" likely evolved from "shindy," a British dialect term meaning a disturbance or commotion
• "Shindy" itself came from "shin ye" or "shinty" - a Scottish/Irish game similar to field hockey where players would often kick each other's shins during rough play
• The American frontier adopted the term - by the mid-1800s, "shindig" described lively social gatherings, barn dances, and community celebrations in rural areas
• It gained popularity during the Gold Rush era - miners and settlers used it to describe their boisterous parties and social events that brought communities together
• The word peaked in mainstream culture during the 1960s - thanks to the TV show "Shindig!" which featured musical performances and cemented the term as meaning a fun, energetic gathering
• Today it represents the spirit of informal celebration - capturing that same energy of people coming together for good times, great conversation, and community connection! 🎊
