Cup of Tea

While I was going through some books at one of the bookstores, my eyes caught one particular title: Sip a cup of tea. I browsed and found it interesting. A young woman about 27 asked me if reading inspirational books will help a person’s life change. I said something about life lesson at that moment and I felt I was providing her with an important life lesson. You can never be too young to learn the secrets that will help you nurture and develop your true potential as a woman or as a person.  After we had finished talking I sat down and really thought about all of the things I know for sure. The lessons I have learned so far that have molded me into the person that I am today. One thing I know for sure is that today the world is moving at SUPERSONIC speed. I used to think  I was imagining it because I was getting older, but that's not the reason. I know this because people of all ages are feeling the same ramp up in energy. So now, more than ever, we have to slow down and discover who we really are.
Keeping in me my strong faith with God.  Our society wants us to believe that the only road to success is hard work. I have not found that to be the case and I have experienced much success in my life (at least). That doesn't mean you become lazy and unfocused, quite the contrary. What it means is creating consciously so what you want is what you get (well, when I was a little girl, I was my Papa’s girl….what Wina wants, Wina gets!). When you consciously create you are using everything that's available to you and the results are awesome. Now, let me show you a list of the things I know for sure:
1. we are truly God’s creation, at the core of who we are is spirit
2. we are very powerful and when we learn to tap into that power, all things are possible
3. we are artists who every day sit in front of blank canvas and create our lives, our reality
4. when we learn to detach from outcomes, we attach more fully to our natural power
5. there is no right or wrong, just life experiences designed to make us more aware
6. when you rise up from fear and pursue passion you go from living your life in black & white to technicolor
7. that each and every one of us is a unique and magnificent creation
With this in mind, I know the importance of going inside for the answers. We should know that's where the power lies.

Yours truly,

Have you heard that three cups of tea every day support mental activities and improve concentration?
Sip a cup of tea: Institute of Tea -- which is owned by consumer goods company Unilever, which sells tea in around 150 countries -- is a research center whose mission is to “increase the knowledge about tea from bush to cup.” This institute, which does research to reveal the effects of tea drinking on humans’ physical and mental health, publishes articles on the issue regularly in a journal. There are more than 50 experts working at the institute. The nutritionist Jane Rycroft from the institute explained that the theanine in tea increases the alpha activity in the brain. She said drinking two or three cups of tea every day helps improve concentration and makes the brain more alert.
