I am Sarah Jane Case and this is Anya Graham and Coffee.

Hello friends. Happy Monday. I hope you're we can treat you well. Today we are catching up.

So I will share with you what's going on behind the scenes as well as a preview into what to

expect on the podcast this week. So grab yourself coffee or cup of tea and let's hang out.

So today we're starting of course with today's rose bed and thorn. My rose today is that I've

I love Valentine's Day normally like even when I'm single I use that usually is like a time to

love on my friends and like write people letters or give them like small little gifts. I've always

really liked it but for some reason this year I'm just like not feeling it. I do really value it
