Do you believe in Magic?  I do.  I believe that if we want something badly enough.  If we hope for something long enough – we can have it.  We can literally will it into our lives. Three years ago I bought a book that changed my life.  I started giving copies of this book to [...]

Photo by kevindooley I love to ride in cars with people who I love and haven’t seen in a long time.  I love it when they pick me up or I pick them up from the airport or Cal-Train station and we have half an hour together where it’s just the two of us.  In [...]

Photo by anaulin “Earl Grey.  Hot.” If it’s good enough for Captain Picard, it’s good enough for me. I drink my tea English style with honey and cream.  Although recently I cut out the cream to save calories and found that I still love it just as much.  The great thing about Earl Grey is [...]

Photo by nukeit1 I’ve been sitting here wishing I paid more attention to packaging.  I have NO IDEA how to answer this question.  I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of something that I bought because of the packaging, or that I loved when it was packaged and not so much after I opened it, [...]

“I Feel The Earth Move – Under My Feet.  I Feel The Sky Come Tumbling Down.  Tumbling Down.” ~Carole King When I first conceived of Twilight & Tea it was just an idea – and a far-fetched one at that.  But still as crazy as it sounded – I had faith that it was possible.  [...]
