We all have a safe spot that soothes us.

It could be drinking coffee on a crisp morning, watching sports on a rainy afternoon, or playing music on a quiet night. Our best time of the day to feel safe, secure, and at ease.

And I realized this week: this spot could be the best invitation to get to know someone. So meet your loved ones there.

There’s something beautiful about connecting when their tank is the fullest. Conversations feel more special, more expansive, and more vulnerable.

You might have to sacrifice your own spot from time-to-time, but it’s worth the price of admission. And maybe later, invite them over to your spot too?
