One of my favorite things to do is to slow down and not rush. High Garden Tea is a perfect place to do just that. And the tea I bought there allows me to do that at home, too, although I can't wait to get back soon!

Is anyone surprised to hear that reading is one of the things that makes me the happiest? Books teach me, keep me company, entertain me, inspire me, calm me, allow me to travel through time and space... the list goes on and on. Heck, tangentially they even pay my mortgage!

I am deeply and eternally grateful to all the amazing writers throughout history who have performed this powerful magic!

How the heck did this plant know a support was there? I love how nature reminds me that the world is a place of mystery, wonder, and awe. Seriously, does this not blow your mind?! And these miracles are around us every day...
