“Any age is the perfect age to follow your dream.” @marieforleo “You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.” - C.S. Lewis Ernestine Shepherd (June 16, 1936) - American bodybuilder who is best known for being, at one point, the oldest competitive female bodybuilder in the world, as declared by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2010; as of 2020 she is 85 years old and still an active, albeit no longer competitive, bodybuilder. She began taking aerobics classes at age 56, after years of avoiding exercise. She has won two bodybuilding titles, and run nine marathons, since this age. She is the leader of seniors exercise classes at the Union Memorial United Methodist Church in Baltimore, and a personal trainer.

Turn your heart and mind to moments when you were feeling your best. A time when all was going well. What were you thinking about? Picture yourself in that place. Now “plant” yourself in this “soil.” Think about difficult challenges you faced in your past. You overcame them. The challenges helped you grow, even though you may have thought otherwise. Look at them as opportunities and you realize they’re part of your growth. Think about how a plant begins as a seed, sprouts up and stretches upwards; how cool is that?! With proper soil and TLC, your plants thrived. (if you’re a plant lover, like me, you have many plants) You can think of yourself like plants, growing and flourishing with each element of soil, water, and fertilizer. Did you know? Talking to your plants is nourishing? How do you talk to yourself? I struggled with this for a long time. I experienced immense growth, since changing the dialogue in my mind and done “lots” of “inner work.” You gotta have good soil. I’ve grown since I surrounded myself with inspirational, educated and kind friends, colleagues and clients. Despite facing many physical, emotional and mental struggles, I persevered and pulled out the roots of unhealthy thoughts, elements and discouraging people. Choosing kind and loving thoughts about myself and everyone around me. Extending grace to myself and others while we’re “growing” and learning. Cultivating by #spreadingjoy and inspiring others. I choose to share a cuppa with you, here and #irl. You can call me. 📱 Let’s grow together, motivate each other and grow friendships. Who helps you grow in your life? Who will you share a cuppa with? You can plan an event with your friends! How does your “garden” grow? Share your thoughts in the comments! 😊 ❤️ 💕 🤗 ☀️ 🍵 ☕️ 🍰 🧁 💐 🌸 🌺 🌼🌻🌷🌹 🍃 🌱 🌿 #afternoontea #timefortea #teatime #thetealady #shareacuppa #growagardenoflove #encouragement #inspiration #motivation #mondaymotivation #mentalhealthawareness #clickonlinkinbio #celebratethespecialmoments #supportsmallbusiness #womeninbusiness #womenempoweringwomen #fraservalley #yvr #yvrrealestate @signature_experience_events @thetealadyrita “Laughter is the language of the soul.”

Did you know? Tea and Chocolate pairing provides you with feelings of warmth, a boost to your daily intake of antioxidants, flavonoids and a jolt of java. Pairing your cup of tea with chocolate engages all your senses. Inhale the stimulating aromas, experience the textures, flavours and depth as your palate receives pleasure. You will find out what your favourite flavours are and how they tantalize your taste buds. When you combine exceptionally high quality tea and superior chocolate, you will experience pure pleasure. When you choose the absolute finest of both, you have found a delightful match. Whether you choose to drink and eat copious amounts of tea and chocolate or less, 😉the expense is justifiable. Your palate is worthy of the best! Indulge in tantalizing tastes and perfect pairings. You can enjoy Green Tea with nut-filled chocolate, milk chocolate or milk chocolate almond bark with your cup of Oolong, Darjeeling, Sencha or Sweet Chai. If you prefer dark chocolate, try it with Assam, Darjeeling, Earl Grey or Oolong. Lovingly curating #teaboxes that make you happy and feel special because you are! ❤️ You will also feel good when you’re enjoying your gifts knowing that, because of your kindness, you’re helping #empowerwomen and #eliminate poverty Which flavours of chocolate and tea will you try?

For extra flavor, add honey and/or a slice of fresh or dried lemon before serving. 🍯 🍋 Pour into your favourite teacup or mug, sip slowly and reverently as you inhale the heady aroma and reap the benefits as you are relaxing. 😌 “There is something in the nature of tea that leads us into a world of quiet contemplation of life.” - Lin Yutang (The Importance of Living) A new season is coming soon!
