National Hot Tea Month

Drink Up, Everyone! We have 14 more days to drink drink and drink out beloved favorite hot beverage: tea. That's right, January, according to Thyme Out Tea Parties [www.thymeoutteaparties.com]. There probably is a more 'official' birth of that declaration but it's good enough for me. This site is ab.so.lutely full of information about Tea. It lists events, provides opportunities for continued learning, as well as advertisements. I highly recommend them to you. Why? Sure! They're friendly people. Early in my efforts, I had delightful conversations with Susan Asher, Owner-Operator, as well as a male counterpart. They were both very helpful. Check it out, nxt time you are thirsting for knowledge as well as for tea: Thyme-out Tea Parties | asherte@yahoo.com.
Now, then, I surely don't need the month declared, I love hot tea in all months. Truth to tell, I have had far less in recent months and far more coffee than my heart requires but I remain loyal. Indeed, my collecting and packing away continues afoot and I am always out for a new blend.

For a birthday gift to myself, I will publishing my first ebook, whose title has yet to be decided, but it's all about herbs, oils, spices and tea. Stay close!

In fact, just today, Sista Vanessa Burns reported recovery from a throat ailment due to a blend I 'prescribed'. It was Peppermint, Ginger and Cayenne. All her germs took off for friendlier sites! I was proud

Just pick up some lovely dry tea leaves, steep, pour, sweeten and enjoy and you will soon see why it should have at least one month to itself! Keep sipping!

As always, livewell today!

Sincerely, Sandra d - TheHealthReverend!

What I Feel, Right Now...

Just Drink Some Tea!

 

Well, it's like this: There is always a feeling. In fact, my instructor at the seminary said that we feel before we think. I think it goes like this: feeling/emotion. Emotions cloud thinking. Now, when we say emotion, it can mean strong feelings of confusion, anger, angst, in addition to sadness, depression, loss, etc. As  understand it, emotion may also be distressed thinking of any kind.

What's the point? I've been way too danged emotional here lately, to do any real good--to progress, I should say. and we all want to progress--to move forward.

Now then, what is the new approach? Just be cool. You know, keep your cool. That could be the answer to the whole stinking mess. Just be cool and keep moving.

Thattaway, a person can make some decisions, can realize some options, can, yes, indeed, see some forward movement.

I trust you will find our own movement to your liking and that you will return to this blog, soon and often.

In the meantime, please do this: drink tea! I suggest something black with ginger added in. Sweeten it with honey, of course.

livewell, always,

Just This...

Great Morning, Great People! Today is the first day of December with 30 to go. It is cold here in Northeast Georgia and I am up, about and somewhat alert.

This is just a note to say that I trust you're all doing well today [these days] and to tell you that I need some support! That's right. Have you ever had occasion to feel like you're doing something you must do but somehow can't quite figure out how. Have you ever felt like you were coming and going at the same time? Have you ever been distracted--repeatedly--from the projects you owe yourself, realizing all the while that you were wrong for it? Well, I answer yes to all those questions.

Not only that: I also declare that I will move. That's the thing: just to move, to get something going to see some progress.

So, I realized that I had at least a few minutes to use and here I am: writing this and hoping that my words will inspire you:

Let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate.

 Still achieving; still pursuing, learn to labor, and to wait.

-Longfellow A Psalm of Life

Indeed so, it is quite a task to labor and wait at the same time, but we an do it, you'll see!

Livewell, always!

Life Goes On...

A Path...A Beginning

 

Those are not new words. life does, indeed, go on. I know. Sometimes it is exciting and thrilling; other times, not so much.  Forward movement is one experience that--I believe--all living 'things' have in common. The desire to fulfill is what pushes all creation. Again, I believe it does.

So, here I am, about to take a new leap, a new location. Yeah, I am about to move again. I have moved my life so many times in 42 years, I have probably forgotten some of them. This time, however, I am being deliberate about it. I'm planning how I want to do it, when, and so forth.

I have settled on a top five for my remaining years. One of the top three is to have what I want, how I want it. This means I just simply want what I want. Sure, I've lived other places and done other things and who knows, maybe have even made some great connections.

A Lark! That's what I want from here on in. I just want to have a doggone good time. It's been so long since I did [have a good time] that I can't really recall it. One thing I know for sure: I can do it again, and I will.

For example, I have published a book and I loved working on that book more than most other projects I have done to date. So, I want to continue to enjoy myself: writing, publishing, etc. That's not all, though. Another love of mine is retail. My ebay store is rebirthing and that, you guessed it, is very exciting. I have [somewhat] settled on my areas of concentration, so to speak: purses, neckties, exotic tops, skirts and eventually, pumps and children's clothing. Whew. It's a great time to be alive.

Along with the above, is the pending youtube channel and the blogtalkradio show to re-launch. So, now, as you can see, I have some work to do. What does this all have to do with you? Plenty! You're invited to join in with me.

LiveWell/DrinkTea!

Let's share a journey of recreating and fun and movement and money making and all else that the 21st century is waiting for us to share! Let's just see how much we can do and how much fun we can have.

Oh, horrors! I forgot to mention: the ministry, the alternative clinic, the tea room! Wow, I gotta get busy.

Whatever you do, where you do it or how, please do this one thing: livewell!

With all good wishes and best regards,
Sandra Teresa Davenport - thehealthreverend.

Morning Stars/Morning Starts

I have a job. That is not news. I have a job which requires my presence at 5:45 a.m., further requiring me to awake at a much earlier time than that.


Me, Smiling Again!

 

I don't enjoy giving my time away, certainly not my best time. One great benefit: the millions and millions of stars that I see each morning when I leave the house. The surround area is so dark and wooded, it is just a wonderful start, the Morning Stars in rural Northeast Georgia.

BTW: I'll soon harvest my backyard ginger plant. You'll love it; you'll see!
Livewell today!

New And Good!

I sincerely apologize for my long absence from my blog post. I call it a post because it is an important position that I hold, that of Blogger. Not just for me, but for anyone who might read it and benefit.

Now that we are together again, let's go!

First, I want you to know that I am yet to retrieve my lost files from my old PC. The good news is that I have a computer geek friend who is going to help me. He gave me instructions on what to do but I just don't have the confidence to do it.

Next, then, is the new PC. Yet another HP. I love her; she's great. My biggest question with this purchase was cleared up quite quickly: it was at my local Wal-Mart. I went and got it; took it home. A couple of days later, I opened it, used it, and loved it. Teeny-tiny problem solved.

More: The stand-along presentation of Arise, and Walk! the blogtalkradio of LivingWellMinistries, will premiere Tuesday, November 4, 2014 at 8:00 p.m., EST. On the maiden voyage, we will simply visit, chat and talk about things to come. I am ever so excited about this new venture into my active ministry. Dial in to listen: 347 327 9584. Staples of the show will remain: the IT Moment, Herb of the Day, Book Reviews, exciting, informative guest contributors and much, much more. If you prefer, just sign in to www.blogtalkradio.com at 8:00 p.m. and you will see my show listed.

Thank you so very, very much for your time.

I will see you soon!
