We spend most of our lives trying to unlearn much of what we've been taught.

The difference between living and half living is seeing well, looking for associations between things, seeking the connections, being aware of scale and proportion.

Be kind to yourself, to others and everything around you.

The choices that make a significant difference in our lives are the tough ones. They're not often fun or easy, but they're the ones we have to make, and each is a deliberate step toward better understanding who we really are.

"The "art of tea" is a spiritual force for us to share."

Don't try to prove anything about yourself to anyone. It isn't necessary. Your worth shines through to others- know your worth.

Finding your personal style is a rich journey of discovery, wonder, adventure, and excitement.
