In this last post of the year, we wanted to focus on the most important people in the Ethos world this year - YOU!
We want to thank you (forever and always) for one more year, and also invite you to join us on reflecting on your journey this year - to celebrate everything you’ve accomplished this year, to be grateful for everyone and everything in your life this year, and to learn from this year’s lessons of the missteps that we’re humanly bound to make.
At the beginning of this year, we started posting an inspirational quote on our Instagram (@ethosroasters) every Monday - in an effort to articulate a little better what Ethos means (much more than great coffee!) - it’s a call to act on the idea that each of us -directly and indirectly- gets to make a difference in the lives of others, and gets to shape the kind of world we want to live in. Each day, we’re grateful for the amazing opportunity to continue to make an impact through coffee, and to roast for amazing people like you, who share our burning desire to make a difference!
We thought it was only fitting to end 2019 - and our call for collective reflection on our journey - with our 10 favorite quotes from this year:
