The CK Daily – Brightside Café and a Weekend Well Spent!
Good morning & Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone’s week is off to a great start!
My weekend was absolutely wonderful, but it flew by way too fast! On Friday, I headed over to Buford, GA, during lunch to find a coffee shop where I could work for the afternoon before meeting up with my nieces and nephew at a nearby mall that evening. I ended up visiting Brightside Café, a spot I’ve been following on Instagram for a while. They just opened in December, and their mission is something I absolutely LOVE: employing individuals with special needs.
The café was clean, bright, and so welcoming. Jaqueline, the barista, was fantastic—she rang up my order perfectly and made an amazing drink. They definitely don’t cut any corners on their coffee—it was delicious!
While I was there, I had the chance to chat with the owners and hear the story behind Brightside Café. Their vision for the café and the impact they hope to have on the community is truly inspiring. It was such an uplifting experience, and I walked away feeling grateful for places like Brightside and hopeful that they’ll thrive for years to come. If you’re local, I highly recommend stopping by, grabbing a drink, and saying hello—it’s a guaranteed mood booster!
I spent the rest of the weekend with my nieces and nephew which meant very little rest, but also lots of fun and laughter. I truly enjoyed every minute and was a little sad when the weekend came to an end!

PoE is an amazing way to make networks more efficient. By cutting power cables and the infrastructure needed to run them, you can really save a lot of money on parts of your network. On top of that, modern PoE equipment is powerful, easy to manage (if that’s your preference), and full of potential. With a little bit of planning, you can use PoE to improve what your network can handle while saving money at the same time.
