i do love yoga as it renews me and that resulting clarity helps me to see better – i think yoga is a great health tonic, good for the mind and the body.

btw some great yoga organsations – Yoga Outreach (fundraising weekend at a squamish retreat May 28-30)  bringing yoga to prisons with volunteer teachers and Yoga Bear providing yoga to women in the cancer process – we have supported both and look to get further involved.

the practicalities of the yoga show are about the meeting space – standard displays ensure a cookie cutter so a little creativity by ‘architectural colour’ and together have created a meeting place – it sounds fun and i look forward to a great time ahead.

with great thanks to a long time friend, karen who will accompany me on this journey to the Toronto yoga show – thanks dear heart

so i do hope you will introduce yourself if you do come toronto and enjoy lots of yoga, say hi

wit respect, thanks for this opportunity to create and connect

Their cheque for the $200 is now on its way and we learned how this would work and they made a little monies on the way to many more tea moments! Another happy day at Libre tea and another experiment successfully completed.

Now in itself $200 is not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow however we were honoured to be involved and truly believe that if we could sell all Libres with a fundraising aspect we’d be thrilled.

looking forward to more innovative opportunities for advancing social good  – a special kudo to karen, our libre collaborator for putting this together and making it all happen.

here is my inspiring quote that feeds me as much as any tea moment:

“another world is not only possible, she is on her way. on a quiet day I can hear her breathing” arundhati roy

One of the UGM staff let us know that a few of the office staff were really enjoying their Libre tea glasses and  were receiving many questions and inquiries – so we thought mmmm how could we help such a great cause. we devised these cards printed through Moo – so cute and now the UGM staff can give them to the  interested and  curious.

We so appreciate the opportunity to work with UGM to create this Moo ‘vehicle’ for social good.

The Moo cards are 1.1 x 2.7 inches each – on one side they have 6 different libre nature photos and then the explanation for the UGM offer on the other.

We are really pleased with this initiative and look forward to doing more  social good co-operative promotions in different cities.

we truly enjoy the opportunity to utilise the libre to create awareness and increased resources for organisations of the heart.

we do want to serve our customers in respectful and helpful ways and love when we hear suggestions and new places the libre is found – an entertaining one lately is the Libre was found in a womens washroom stall forgotten by its previous owner ( so sad when there are misplaced tea moments;) the finder was so intrigued she wrote down the name and came home to find us on the internet – she ordered 3!

it is these stories that allow Libre’s unique design to be seen by more and more tea lovers and we know even with the best planning surprises are coming.

the wonderful reception the Libre is receiving from so many tea drinkers is inspiring for sure and we are awaiting whatever life has to give us that may change our path and lead to more adventures.

and so we are inspired to finding more ways to enable more tea moments and of course ensure our current tea moment lovers are supported.

how is your new year so far? are you inspired and awaiting adventure

“Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all”  Helen Keller

wait…  the much bigger message for my ears that days was about the toxicity of negative emotions  – anger, fear, grief, jealously – those kinds of negative emotions

now i know this information but saturday it had an even greater impression upon me. how do I alleviate them – well letting go is job#1 and some serious self reflection.

this message was not only personal but reflects upon libre’s reason for being – tea moments – a moment to connect withoneself and the world -  being conscious that we are are all interconnected  – i know that if we connect with ourself more often and become more conscious we can heal and show even more love in the world.

it is these negative emotions that are realisations of separation and resistance.

it had never been more clear – this workshop gave me a new outlook and tools.

often the negative emotions are our reactions to ’someone else’s behaviours or attitudes ‘ – Seane advised and i’ve heard this before, but never sooo poignantly… ‘if you spot it you got it’ – it may be that the attribute we are negatively judging in others is actually an unclaimed aspect of ourselves – our shadow. to love ourself is to make room and be compassionate towards our own shadows.  It is like the separation we unconciously know within is projected out.

If we heal and accept our humanness and inherent ’shadow’ side we can be compassionate towards the ‘other’ -  we can be loving and compassionate.

for me this is the weft and weave of our love potential that interconnects us all. Seane Corn’s ‘off the mat and into the world‘ leadership training is all about self discovery and consciousness to allow more loving and truly understand what it means that we are all inteconnected. will be looking into sponsoring a yogi and maybe even partaking myself.

ohhh some days are big!

so much to reflect on and marvellous fodder for tea moments in the days ahead. gratitude, gratitude.

namaste and grace to all

“Hello,

I ordered from your site and received my product (glass’n'poly) and i must say i was even more pleasantly surprised at the quality of the cup! I especially like the detailing  (silver and gold-like engravings) and the fact that the logo is printed on the glass under the plastic so it won’t rub off. The cup itself just looks and feels more luxurious than i thought it would! It’s really refreshing to get a product that exceeds your expectations.

Thank you!

Philippine D.,

Los Angeles”

we are inspired by the Libre fans and very appreciative of comments – so thanks Phillipine for taking the time to let us know your thoughts!

we are truly grateful for all the marvellous feedback we receive and more than one fan has exclaimed ” i love my libre”

so 2 new styles we are thinking about – a larger version – 420 mL at this time and then a mug version with a handle.

they are a little more expensive and would probably sell for $35 USD

we’d appreciate your comments on the new models shown on our facebook page

drop by and become a fan for the latest updates

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
