You’re Not Being Tested—You’re Being Echoed

Yesterday’s Afternoon Tea with Flowering Waters at Cedar & Elm left me full—heart, spirit, and soul. 🌿
Wearing kimono 👘🌼🍁🍂always brings a mix of nerves and reverence, so before guests arrived, I paused for a mini grounding meditation. Just a few quiet breaths to soften the chatter.

That small act reminded me of something I’ve been learning lately: the universe isn’t testing you—it’s echoing you.
Your inner dialogue, your emotions, your expectations—they loop back as your reality. ✨

So if you’re waiting on something big, don’t flinch. Don’t doubt.
Instead, stabilize the version of you who already has it.
This isn’t about spiritual effort—it’s about energetic consistency.

Tea, for me, has always been a practice in that kind of presence. A gentle method acting of serenity, grace, and patience. 🍵

Here’s to continuing that practice—one quiet cup, one grounded breath, and one brave step at a time.
Head up, buttercup 🌼💚
