Libre… loose leaf tea on the go

i’ve had the good fortune to introduce the Libre tea glass in 2009 and its been an adventure!

for the warm welcome, curious appreciation, and patience from all whom i’ve worked with in this year i am grateful. i live in a corner of the world that is beautiful and am lucky to have talented associates locally at hand to help – Karen, Charlene, Leah, Cathy, Kera, Tzaddi, Christine, Amber and Melissa -  i am thankful for the  help, advice, diligence, cooperation and care.

to my customers and associates who daily bear witness to my strengths and weaknesses, i thank-you.

to the universe and the web i am interconnected with, i appreciate the opportunity to continue in the way of ‘libre’.

for me ‘libre’ means ‘to be free’,  ‘free to experience a tea moment anywhere and anytime.

truly though ‘libre’ is about the freedom to ‘be’

choose your perspective,

change your mind change your life,

be the change you want to see in the world

what is the change you want to see?

connect, reflect… experience a tea moment

its all been said before and starts with the first step of the first ten thousand

in gratitude and appreciation for the this opportunity and now lucky me to continue in 2010!!

best wishes for love, health, peace in the year ahead

we’ve been lucky and grateful that the libre tea glass has been used in fundraising by a school in keswick ontario. the funds will be used to support Adopt a Village through the Free the Children Foundation – the teachers and students are working toward raising $8000 to build a new school in Kenya. its great to see that the Canadian school kids are receiving an education about global issues and are passionate to raise funds. several activities are underway and here are a  couple of pictures forwarded to us.

we truly appreciate the opportunity to be involved and honoured we can support this initiative.

Libre tea is very pleased to be sponsoring a radical hostess for the 2010 olympics.

this is a radical program!

this is an amazing concept to connect with the residents of the Vancouver downtown eastside and provide an opportunity to engage with the Olympics – this is an area of the city that has an over-representation of homelessness and less fortunate.

Linwood house ministries has developed this innovative opportunity to sponsor a woman through the training to become a super host – this organisation runs a wonderful outreach facility – the ‘great room’ in the nieghbourhood and wanted to ensure some of these nieghbourhood residents benefit from the Olympic activities.

From their website  – “As you know, the residents of the Downtown Eastside have been greatly affected by the Olympic presence in our city. In an effort to give purpose and a sense of excitement about the Olympics we have created a hostess program, where our friends have an opportunity to be trained as a Super Host. Each woman who attends the training will be given assignments during the Olympics and act as ambassadors in their community. The training includes general super host lessons, rapid response to crisis, history of area and a knowledge of resources and points of interest in the community. Our plan is to reward the women who finish their training and carry out their responsibilities during the Olympics with honorariums. Each hostess will also receive a uniform and meals during their time as hostess.

The cost to sponsor a hostess is $300 CDN, which includes uniforms, training, meals during the Olympics and honorariums to those who complete their assignment.”

Libre tea is pleased to be a sponsor through the fundraising sales of Libre tea glasses at the Roberts Creek location.

Thanks goodness that this unique opportunity is available and there are still sponsorships available.

well we’ve had great fun the last 3 tea tuesdays when we asked for and received your tea moment tweets – what is a a tea moment for you?

and each week we chose a tweeter to win a Libre tea glass. this is very educational – we learn so much about our customer perceptions of a tea moment and what it means to them – some very personal and some generic, some sensual, some of memories or places.

thanks so much for taking the time to let us know yours – we appreciate beginning the conversation
