We're a group of writers that meets up every Sunday for a productive writing session. **Here's how the meetup works:** * We gather together, grab some fika, and then we write for an hour. * After the hour is up, we spend some time chatting, sharing ideas and thoughts on writing, and discussing the challenges we've come across. The goal is to **commit to working on your writing project for a set amount of time, all while** **connecting with other writers** and being motivated by the energy of creative minds working hard on their individual projects. You'll have the chance to share your work and receive valuable feedback (if you so wish) or simply enjoy the company of like-minded individuals. -- We're here, **same place, same time, every week.** So if you're feeling up to it, drop by and let's get writing!

How often do we truly *taste* our food? In the rush of the modern world, eating has become a task to complete rather than an experience of joy. **Savor & Soul** is an invitation to step out of the rush and into the present moment. Through mindfulness, we experience the profound connection between our senses, our nourishment, and the world around us. **The Menu (Gluten-Free, Plant-Based & Home-made)** * **The Grounding Sip:** A delightful herbal tea. * **The Sacred Bowl:** Lovingly prepared Sattvik Khichdi—a traditional comfort food, an Ayurvedic blend of rice, lentils, and mild spices. * **The Sweet Reflection:** A decadent, velvet-smooth Chocolate Mousse. **No previous experience with mindfulness or meditation is needed.** This space is open to beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. This event is not related to any religion. It is rooted in wellness practices of slow eating of a gorgeous meal in a way that truly nourishes us. **What to Bring & Wear** * **Comfort is Key:** Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. We often invite guests to sit on floor cushions (Sukhasana) to enhance grounding. * **Reflection:** Please bring your journal/notebook and a pen. We will use brief moments of silence for guided reflection to anchor your insights. **House Rules (Our Sacred Container)** * **Digital Detox:** Phones are turned off and tucked away to protect the energy of the space. * **Silence:** We will observe brief periods of silence while eating to experience our food with all our senses. * **Punctuality:** To respect the guided journey, we begin at 16:45. You are welcome to come 5 minutes before the experience begins. **Registration** **Price: 650 SEK** *Limited to 3 participants only!* **Your ticket includes:** 1. **The Experience:** 90 minutes of professional mindfulness facilitation. 2. **The 3-Course Meal:** Tea, Khichdi, and Chocolate Mousse. 3. **The Take-Home Wisdom:** A physical copy of [Mindfulness for Beginners in Plain English](https://www.amazon.com/Mindfulness-Beginners-Plain-English-management/dp/B0CJLCV5FT). **How to Book (Payment via Swish)** To secure one of the 3 available seats: 1.

We will read the Philosopher together, the one with capital P, Aristotle himself. We go slowly through the Nicomachean Ethics and comment, interpret and discuss what we read. That is the simple plan, and it is likely to be enjoyable! This is the text: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QeXc6geLCrJvvVh6BdJrsPP6To6ywBYM/view?usp=sharing

The topic for February is "Transitions" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

#### Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster #### **Featuring Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** **👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** #### A lot of people get into real estate because they want freedom. Then they buy a rental…and realize most of the rent goes straight to the bank. They technically own property, but the mortgage controls the income. And waiting 30 years for properties to be paid off doesn’t feel realistic. This meetup is about understanding a different way to think about rental properties… one that focuses on paying them off sooner so the income is actually usable. **Featured Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** We’re excited to welcome John Blackburn as our guest speaker for this event. John has been actively investing in real estate since 2006 and has: * Been involved in **5,000+ real estate transactions** * Helped investors **acquire over $150 million in rental property** * **Raised more than $100 million** in private capital John didn’t start with family money or shortcuts. He built his portfolio by focusing on clear systems, real numbers, and long-term strategy. For this meetup, John will walk through how investors shift their focus from simply owning rentals to building properties that eventually pay them…without a mortgage attached. **What You’ll Learn** John will break down, in simple terms: * Why most rental properties don’t produce much usable income early on * Why buying more rentals isn’t always the answer * How investors structure their properties to pay off mortgages in a fraction of the time * How properties can work together to eliminate debt faster * What changes once rentals become free and clear This approach is often referred to as an accelerated paydown strategy — using rental income intentionally to reduce debt sooner, rather than waiting decades for mortgages to run their course. John will also share a simple calculator you can use to see how this works with real numbers and realistic scenarios. **The Core Idea** When a rental has a mortgage, the rent has one job: **pay the bank.** When a rental is paid off, the rent has a different job: **pay you.** Most people only see one timeline…30 years. This session shows how investors shorten that timeline and gradually increase their income as properties become free and clear. **Who This Event Is For** This event is for people who want more than just “owning rentals” on paper. * Rental owners who are tired of most of the rent going to the bank and want a clearer path to real, usable income * New investors who want to understand how rental properties actually build wealth over time before jumping in * People with capital who want to invest in real estate with intention and a long-term plan * Anyone serious about freedom and curious how rental properties transition from debt-heavy assets into income-producing ones **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company - 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** January 25th, 6–8 PM (Doors open at 5:30) **Cost:** Free (Seats are limited - RSVP required) **👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** If you’ve ever wondered how rental properties actually turn into freedom —this is the room to be in.

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
