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! As my baby girl grew, my confidence as a mom grew, too, and the interest in my "Tea Moments" grew, too!

A Silver and Gold Moment

It's interesting, being back in my home town after 16 years away. In some ways life is very different, but in many ways life is very much the same. Work routines, school routines, even the neighborhood- kids-playing-outside routine. But there are differences. We miss our old friends. The ones we've known forever, the ones we met through work, the ones we met through our kids, the ones who quickly shifted from "just" neighbors to people we spent most weekends with, the ones we took family weekend getaways with. They are what we miss most. They are gold. Pure gold. And yet, we realize how blessed we are to have these stashes of gold in California, but also here. In just a couple of short months, we've had a chance encounter with an old high school friend that resulted in a backyard BBQ, hookups on the best soccer coach in town, and ski lessons. I've also reconnected with a childhood friend that has so far produced lunch dates, family BBQs, and laughing so
