Tea & Cakes™: Switzerland was a fun virtual visit, but I prefer actually spending time in Switzerland. I’ve traveled many times to train the Swiss to mediate – judges, lawyers and the press. It was another part of my evolution to understanding people and valuing inclusion, empathy and compassion. I’ve enjoyed tea in Switzerland, yetContinue reading “Tea & Cakes™: Switzerland”

We’re loving the rhythms of Egypt as we traveled to this tea destination via Google.  It was a great trip for Tea & Cakes™. Surprising to learn the national drink is TEA, but the tea is imported. Pretty powerful statement about the power of tea. Teas are long known to influence culture and Egypt isContinue reading “Tea & Cakes™: Egpyt”

This morning, I taught another Self-Care Sunday 30: Cleanse Your Cache™ via Zoom for cleanseyourcache.com to spring forward. I shared a new meditation focused upon the power of an insect.  I never use insects in meditations.  It was a first.  And, it had a surprising impact for the participants and me.

I hope everyone is processing the disturbing events while exercising self-care. With nieces and nephews that are half Chinese, I understand in particular the stress of hate. To keep balanced, I made comfort food. I hope you’ll receive comfort. This dish – Quinoa Salad is vegan, quick and tasty. It contains fruit and veggies. Tip:Continue reading “Thursday Thoughts”
