Hi Reader,

This week I had a dream: Oprah came to my home for lunch.
She asked me for a cup of tea.

I searched and searched opening cupboards, getting distracted, trying to find the perfect tea to serve.

But when I came back, still empty-handed, she was sitting with two children simply teaching them how to be with others.

And I realized, she never came for the tea.

She came for presence.

So many of us live in this cycle:
👉 Always searching, trying to get it “right.”
👉 Feeling scattered, rushed, and guilty for not doing enough.
👉 Missing the simple joy of being here, now.

But what we truly want is different:
✨ To feel grounded.
✨ To rest in ease instead of rushing.
✨ To know who we are is enough; with or without the tea.

A simple practice:
​ Today, pour yourself a cup of tea, coffee, or even hot water.
Before you take the first sip, pause.
Close your eyes, take a slow breath, and remind yourself:
“Presence is the gift. I am the tea.”

Notice how even a moment of stillness softens the edges of the day.

With warmth,
Sarah
