A Moment of Reawakening

This whole thing began in 2008, not long after I became a mom for the first time. I have never felt so tired, so overwhelmed, so completely incompetent as I did in those first few weeks and months. I had put all my consulting clients on hold, so I didn't even have the comfort of work projects to be the hand that steadied my flagging self-confidence. Writing. I knew how to do that. Tea. I would like to learn more about that. Travel Diaries. I enjoyed re-reading those parts of my life where tea and writing seemed to often collide, documenting times that seemed less consequential, more adventurous. And that's when An International Tea Moment was born. It was honestly a way to remind myself that I did know how to do SOMETHING!

He has mentioned times where the two of them have enjoyed an outing with friends, and his enjoyment of sharing those moments together with her absolutely shines through his written words. And so, when I received confirmation that The Lady Devotea herself was willing to share a Moment here, I was more than delighted! Any insights into the lives and goings-on in such a couple of Devoteas is a welcome event. Please enjoy this beautiful Tea Moment by Lady Devotea, Anne Drury-Godden. My Dad was a Gentleman. Not in the “titled” sense, far from it. He was humble, a family man, and

A World Tea Expo 2015 Moment - Day 1

I walk into the Long Beach Convention Center for the 2015 World Tea Expo, and who do I see? It's like I surprised myself with this photo. My smile was either coming or going. I swear I'm happy to see them! #SelfieFail The men of the tea blogging world: (from left to right) Geoffrey Norman - a.k.a. @Lazy_Literatus, Tony Gebely - a.k.a. +World of Tea , Gary Robson - a.k.a. @TeaWithGary, and @ChrisGiddings! It didn't take long for Jo Johnson, a.k.a. +scandalous tea to find us too. Photo by Gary Robson My first stop was The Healing Power of Tea: Ancient Roots, Scientific Branches, presented by Ken Cohen of Qigong Research and Practice Center. An entertaining presenter, Ken was able to bring the Ben Cao Gang Mu: the Roots and Herbal Compendium (the 16th century Chinese herbal medicine classic) to life, connecting the dots between old world wisdom and modern day medicine. Ken Cohen I also stopped in at Design Your Success... Strategic Store Layout, V
