When Oprah came for tea and (I had none)

Published 2 days ago • 1 min read

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

Hi Reader, Last week I shared about the eclipse season. These next weeks are powerful for endings and beginnings, and why this is the moment to commit to yourself. And now, here we are, back-to-school schedules, shifting routines, the to-do list pulling in every direction. It can feel overwhelming, like your nervous system is stuck in overdrive. The truth is; when we try to control everything, it’s only a false sense of “holding it all together.” What’s really underneath is anxiety in...

Hi Reader, Summer has always been a season of filling my basket, literally and figuratively. For me, that means fruit picking, baking (and baking some more), and tending to my garden. I over-winter with the harvest, cakes and pies tucked away in the freezer, tasting just as sweet months later. There’s something so grounding in knowing I’ve taken the time to prepare, to savor, to create. This is home for me.And I know you have your own version of this, something that lights you up, that feels...
