Tea philosophies: Perfection in the imperfection: Beauty in originality age, being an individual Time: Past, present, future. A sense of purpose: living out who you are called to be   Tea Conversations brings you into the present, in the moment, while you reflect on the past to create a better future to come   The bankable connection in tea is truly the relationships strengthened in each tea service Relationship with God Relationship within yourself Relationship with friends family and others

Questions: What good shall i do today? ( if you can answer this before the day begins you have already set goals you will be working on for the end of the day’s reflection Where did I grow today? Who did I help? What did I do well today? How can I make tomorrow even better?

Yuko and Jeff deep dive into cultural perspectives on food, family, faith, lifestyles, and points of view.

Tea Time 31: Grow to where you want to grow! “You can have more than you’ve got because you can become more than you are. The other side of the coin is, Unless you change who you are, you will always have what you got.” For things to change for you, you have to change, or things aren’t going to change. Jim Rohn   He was also talking about how income does not far exceed personal development. Sometimes it can take a lucky jump, but unless you grow out to where it is, it will always come back to where you are. He gave this example, "Its been said that if all the money in the world was taken and divided up, and given to everyone equally, It would soon all be back in the same pockets."  Let's grow to where we want to be!

Can you imagine waking up and reading the morning news to see how everyone thought of you because they thought that you had passed?  If you don't think that you'd like what others would say about you, now would be a perfect time to change the public's opinion.  Reflect on what you have been doing, and if there needs to be changes, how can you start?

Tea Time 29: To forgive and accept forgiveness For a relationship to move forward, a conversation and/or an agreement needs to take place. Forgiveness, and also the acceptance of forgiveness.

Tea Time 28: How you are being treated may be a reflection of you.   Life maybe "returning the favor". How you are being treated may be a reflection of you and how you actually treat others. Many of the things we experience through relationships and interactions are the very "favors" being returned to us.

Tea Time 27: Healing and Hurtful Words. Words can get under your skin and heal or get on top and grind away.

Tea Time 26: Your words are heard

Tea Time 25: You are in a good place…   Sometimes I get complacent where I am and I end up trying to break free and enter a space where I do not belong. This really frustrates the system. I’m frustrated because everything is against me. The environment is frustrated because it has to contend with an outside influence that it was not prepared to handle quite yet.   God has us where we are to grow and learn and then move on to next phases at the appropriate time.

Tea Time 24: Things are working for your good. Romans 8:28 is one of my foundation scriptures that keeps me look at things in a positive light when things don't go the way I really wanted them to go.

Tea Time 23: Do you have a habit of playfully testing God?    I sometimes say what I can to get what I want out of my moments with God, and that really is not a good thing.  I believe He listens to what we want, but I also believe that we should get to know Him and not test the limits.

Its easy to see what's right in front of us. But we have to look at the big picture to understand what God is doing in front, behind, and all around us, making things work for our good.

Tea Time 21: understanding signs and having the right focus to deal with them appropriately.

Tea Time 20: Rejecting God's Help Many times over the years I can look beck and see where I humbly and respectfully declined God's help, even though I may have asked for it.

Tea Time 19: Gotta get out there! Do you have a solution to a problem? Are you taking that solution to those who need it? Or are you waiting on them to find you?

Tea Time 18: Are leaning on God's Wisdom? Thinking big and according to your God given vision will put you into some God-Sized-Thinking situations! Do you call upon His wisdom daily? Thinking small doesn't really require much, but are you thinking big enough to know that "this is going to take God to make this happen..." type thoughts? Many of our stories and experience are setup for our testimony so that when others hear them, they build their faith too,  and everyone benefits.

Tea Time 17: Honor the giver by using the gift as the giver intended! My reflection time comes from a statement my pastor gave today. "The giver is far more important than the gift". As we reflect on the many blessings we've been given: Don't let the gift replace the giver. Don't let the gift cause you to forget the giver. Treasure the gift, and honor the giver. Honor the giver by using the gift as the giver intended!  

Tea Time 16: What are you looking at? How you view others is important, but where are you looking? People try to put up many faces and facades, but looking on the inside, thought process and mindsets will reveal a clearer picture to you. Showing you their character and motives behind their behaviors!

Tea Time 15: Are you building your network? Two questions: Are you building your network? and to dig a little deeper, what kind? What kind of people are you trying to put in place to help you grow and go to the next level?
