So any feedback you want to share with us is always welcomed!

A Helping Hand and Drink
Moving on. We all know how much I drink coffee. Probably more than is considered a healthy amount. But that’s not the point I’m trying to make. What is coffee could help kids in need? Yes, there is such a thing.
The Coffee Oasis is a non-profit orginization that does 2 things. Serve coffee, and help kids. Proceeds from their coffee go to the Oasis Youth programs, which help homeless and street-oriented kids find shelter and a place of belonging. They also offer resources, services, activities, and programs to youth without regard to the individual for any reason. They also just recently opened the Terry House which is used to shelter kids that have fallen victim to human trafficking. So remember, the next time you need to boost your morning, give a kid some help they could use as well. You can find more about The Coffee Oasis here.
Gaming
Last up on our agenda, is the gaming update. I know I told you all last week that I would continue on with the story of Kingdom Hearts 3 and share my thoughts. Unfortunately, this did not occur. You see, there are few times a year where League of Legends will put out a game mode called URF (Ultra Rapid Fire). For those of you who don’t know, URF is when all the champions have unlimited resources, 80% cool down reduction, improved health and income as well as other stats. These modes will vary with either certain or random characters, a new map, a new mechanic or just some crazy thing.The games normally don’t last longer than 20 minuets and from the very beginning can be a blood bath. I do appreciate normal League, but when URF is around, I have to get in as many rounds as possible while it’s up! So for that, I do apologize there is no KH3 update. Sorry, but no sorry really.
