Here’s a secret…

I don’t like tea. What? Hang on a second, wait, say what?

It’s true, I really don’t like tea. it’s certainly not high up on my to drink list. However, I do like the name of this site, after all, I did choose it. It represents that small moment of a day where you can make a cup of tea, sitting down and make time your own. The only thing is, I don’t actually like tea! I’m very much a coffee girl, it’s my chosen way to start the day and to survive throughout it.

But it doesn’t matter that I don’t like tea, I named this blog as a nod to my name (T) and as a symbol of that magic process of making a soothing, relaxing drink and sitting down for those precious few moments when the world stops and time becomes very much your own.

During this precious moment, I like to begin writing down all things that are clogging up my mind. They can be the simplest of things like a to-do list for the rest of that day, a longer-term plan of things that need doing to prepare for a certain event like a birthday or Christmas or detailed items of a current work project that needs completing.

Mentally, that cup of whatever represents a moment in time where I dump the contents of my brain on to various sheets of paper so that my mind becomes clear of clutter and is then able to handle whatever the rest of the day may throw at me.
