OUR NAME
I have long enjoyed using the phrase "busy nothings" since my first reading of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park. I often use it to refer to life's seemingly insignificant, everyday activities.
Truth is, i believe even life's most common activities can be infused with great meaning and purpose. Classic example? - sitting down with a cup of coffee. First dates, business meetings, heartfelt connection between friends, to name a few, all can occur with a cuppa nearby.
