Tea Anyone? Tea Time Tuesday: Aggresively Happy

Click here to play today’s new podcast episode.

“The path to Heaven passes through a teapot.” – Ancient proverb

My wonderful friends,

How I wish I could have each of you over for tea to my little home today. I would pick your brain, hear your thoughts and dreams, share with you mine. To have the opportunity to share in real friendship is one of the treasures of my life. So do come if you are in the area.

I love my friends here. And the way they talk. This week, a lovely woman was paying a bill at a store and she had her friend hold the leash of her dog. The pup begin whining thinking his owner was leaving. The owner turned around and in a very posh accent said,

“Oh, you Silly Little Sausage!” I think I shall say that to Darcy sometime. It was a giggle moment.

There are so many different tidbits in my Tea Time Tuesday podcast today, but I haven’t time to write about all of them—you will just have to listen. Meanwhile, take the advice of someone whose quotes I love:


You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,love like you'll never be hurt,sing like there's nobody listening,and live like it's heaven on earth.

William W. Purkey
