Today is Mothers Day for the world. For me it’s the day where I find my body and spirit at their most still.
My Mother passed away 6 years ago on May 6th. The first Mothers Day after I started dating my husband Mike he thoughtfully asked what I wanted to do on Mothers Day and I replied, “I want to be quiet”.
Today I am quietly writing,
I am quietly working,
I am quietly contemplating the precise ingredients to combine to create the intangibly delicious and satisfying tea blend I’m imagining will make everything better.
Also Quiet.
Which animal has the most taste buds?
Catfish!
Humans have approximately 10,000 taste buds while catfish have over 150,000 buds that cover their tongue and body from head to tail.
The Mothers Day tea blend is impressive enough to wow a catfish.
Mothers Day Tea. Seriously Tea blend recipe:
2 tablespoons CHAI MOLASSES TEA
1/2 teaspoon caramel crystals
1 tablespoon toasted coconut
1 whole vanilla bean (How to use a whole vanilla bean)

When you get your hands on the elements of your tea you can blend to soothe and satisfy your soul in all the ways you need. Happy Mothers Day.
