Update: Diane from Starbucks
A few weeks ago, we introduced you to Diane, a woman we met at a Starbucks in Pasadena, California. You can read more about our meeting with her on our blog. Tonight, I happened to run into her again at that same Starbucks, and I wanted to share a quick update.
Diane walked into Starbucks tonight, and I immediately said, “Hi Diane!” She looked a bit shocked and stunned that I emphatically shouted her name. But nonetheless she was excited to see us. She didn’t remember our names, but she remembered meeting us a few weeks prior. She came over to our table, and we pulled up a chair. She told us that she had spent all night cooking dinner—hamburgers, baked beans, and her famous mac and cheese. She was here tonight to deliver that dinner to a friend, but he didn’t show up.
Diane finally sat down, and I asked her if she had gotten a chance to check out her video online. She said that unfortunately her laptop has been out of commission, and she hasn’t had access to anything. So then we sat down together. I got out my headphones, and we watched her video.
Her first response? “Next time I’m on camera, I gotta wear my false teeth!”
But then she read through the comments that were left for her on the site. She personally thanks everyone for what they’ve said.
Before we got up to leave, Diane also told us that she’s having some problems with her foot. Some pain that she’s been dealing with. She told us before that it’s pretty difficult for her to walk—so keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
This particular Starbucks has become a consistent meeting spot, so I’m fairly certain that we’ll be hearing a lot more from Diane.

Please extend an invitation to Dianne to come into my office and I will take a look at her foot problem, no charge.
Thank you so much for your offer, Steve! We’ll find Dianne and let her know. Thank you for giving hope back to your neighbors!
