Last night, Anton and I sat on the stoop waiting impatiently for the arrival of two beloved visitors in Brooklyn this week - Cup of Jo. As avid followers of the popular lifestyle blog, we were thrilled to hear that Joanna Goddard and her team were in town for a special event. The anticipation was palpable as we sipped our coffee and chatted animatedly about the upcoming meeting.



The Excitement Builds


The evening sky was a canvas of pink and orange hues, setting the perfect backdrop for our excitement. We couldn't contain our anticipation as we checked the time every few minutes, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Cup of Jo. The thought of meeting Joanna Goddard in person was surreal, considering how her blog has been a source of inspiration and comfort for us for so many years.



As the minutes ticked by, our excitement only grew. We could hardly believe that we were about to meet the creative mind behind Cup of Jo, a blog that has become a daily ritual for us. The possibility of sharing a moment with Joanna and her team was both thrilling and humbling, and we couldn't wait to see what the evening had in store.



The Encounter


Finally, the moment we had been eagerly anticipating arrived. Joanna and her team stepped out of a cab, radiating warmth and energy. We greeted them with smiles that mirrored our excitement, feeling a rush of gratitude for the opportunity to meet these creative individuals in person.



Joanna's presence was as genuine and engaging as her writing. She greeted us with a warm hug, her kind eyes sparkling with a genuine interest in connecting with her readers. It was a surreal moment, to meet someone whose words had touched our lives in so many ways, and to find that she was every bit as authentic and inspiring in person.



A Shared Moment


As we settled into conversation with Joanna and her team, it felt like catching up with old friends. The atmosphere was one of camaraderie and shared passions, as we discussed everything from travel adventures to favorite books. It was a reminder of the power of community and connection, and how a shared love for creativity and storytelling can bring strangers together in a meaningful way.



We were struck by Joanna's ability to genuinely listen and engage with everyone around her. Despite her busy schedule, she took the time to ask about our lives and stories, creating a space where we felt seen and heard. It was a reminder of the beauty of human connection, and the impact that genuine kindness and empathy can have on a brief encounter.



An Evening to Remember


As the evening unfolded, we were treated to a glimpse behind the scenes of Cup of Jo. Joanna shared stories of how the blog came to be, the challenges she faced, and the moments of joy that have made it all worthwhile. It was a candid and inspiring conversation that left us feeling motivated and grateful for the opportunity to witness such vulnerability and authenticity.



We laughed, we cried, and we shared moments of silence as we reflected on the power of storytelling and human connection. It was an evening that reminded us of the importance of following our passions, embracing vulnerability, and fostering genuine connections with those around us.



A Farewell, But Not Goodbye


As the evening came to a close, we said our goodbyes to Joanna and her team, feeling a mix of gratitude and sadness. The experience of meeting them in person had been a whirlwind of emotions, leaving us inspired and uplifted in ways we couldn't fully articulate.



But as we watched their cab drive away, we knew that this was not a goodbye, but rather a see-you-later. The connections we had forged that evening, the stories we had shared, and the moments of laughter and joy would stay with us long after they had left. And we knew that the impact of this encounter would continue to ripple through our lives in ways we couldn't yet imagine.
