This is a re-posting of a story that was ran on journeys coffeehouse‘s site about one of the amazing baristas, Sean Bartley, and his strides in helping to fight breast cancer.

For those of you that know Sean Bartley, one of the amazing baristas at journeys coffeehouse, you will know that Sean has always seemed to have this long hair that he loves. Just over a week ago now two of us were joking with Sean on shaving his head… the matter quickly came to that if we could raise $500 basically overnight he would shave his head and donate all of the money to breast cancer research. To all of our amazement we were able to raise not $500 but over $1000.

So today we gathered at journeys coffeehouse as well as online via a live streaming of the event to share in this amazing story. Sean has is hair dresser of many years, Kathy, come out to do the honors. We had several breast cancer survivors join us in person as well as on the live stream.

We just wanted to share the story and one man’s step in helping fight to find a cure. Please don’t let the fight end with just one event, keep on fighting for the cure.

For those that are on Facebook, there is a full photo collection here.

Sean, thank you for letting me play a small part in this awesome event and the fight for the cure. You are an amazing man and this was an awesome change.

It is blueberry season here in Michigan.  One of the ways that we like to enjoy blueberries is in the following blueberry muffin recipe.

Blueberry Muffins

• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups blueberries

Preheat the over to 350 degrees.  Sift together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.  Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the eggs to the butter mixture and blend well.  Add the milk and the flour mixture and beat until combined.  Fold in the blueberries.  Fill muffin tin sections 2/3 full and bake 25 to 30 minutes.  If you wish sprinkle a small amount of raw sugar on the top of the muffins before baking.

Enjoy and feel free to send some along.
