Reading The Tea Leaf

…finding flavor in tea

Where Have I Gone?

Posted By Jean on November 17, 2011

footprints of the journey As you may see by my postings I have been away from this blog for sometime. It is today that I have come to realize that I am wasting space. Wasting of any sort shouldn’t be done. With the flow of time and letting it just be I realize today that I need to start using this space.

Today is an anniversary of sorts for me. One month ago today, October 17, I made a clear choice in my head to make a change to help better myself physically, emotionally and spiritually. Reading the Tea Leaf will not always consist of tea, but of life (mine) and choices. You are welcome to come along on the journey that I set out on October 17, 2011, in fact I welcome you to comment and meet one another as we explore not only the tea leaf, but of who we are. Feel free to communicate, please no spamming, or hurtful messages, they won’t be allowed.

Closing the tea house on Jefferson Street was truly one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. But since it has closed I realize all the knowledge I have gained, the friendships that I still hold dear and how to enjoy a good cup of tea. These things are priceless. Now I understand all of this and realize that there was a true purpose for my being in that space for that amount of time. Many good things have happened because I had the ambition to follow a dream. We dream about things we would like to do, and for most, we never do. I will never have to answer that question, “what if?” because I know the answer. Now I ask, “What if I wouldn’t have?” There are many answers to that last one that I certainly would have missed out on. One of my favorite quotes is by Walt Disney, “If you can dream it, you can do it.”

I am setting a goal for myself. That goal is to use this space and be thankful it is here.

With that being said, I invite you to continue dreaming. If your dream comes from your heart, you are being called to something that is higher than yourself. Listen to the call.
