Invite Someone Dangerous to Tea ; )

Invite someone dangerous to tea... SARK (Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy) once said this in the early 1990's.

Ross and I are inviting several 'guests' to share tea with us. Would you be so kind as to join us?

As these are our honored guests, we ask that you be friendly and polite, and listen to their story, each one at a time. And then, each guests, Ross and I will have a private discussion with you about what impressions we have of each of our visitors to tea.

It is our custom to be friends with all people, from all walks of life, some of them who think differently from the norm.

Cream or sugar, dear? Would you like one lump or two of the sugar? We have lumps of turbinado sugar and organic half and half, and plant based milk if you prefer it. And honey and stevia too. Today's honey is from Spain.


Let us introduce to you our first guest, Paula.  Paula has had quite the journey. Let us take a few minutes to listen to what she has to say.

I've Lived As A Man and As A Woman, and Here Is What I've Learned -- Paula Stone Williams

Have you ever met anyone like Paula? Did you have questions? Carla has. She works with a woman named Edra, and Carla has not been so sure that Edra has had a journey like Paula's. She has always wanted to ask Edra her questions, but never had the courage to ask.

What we would like to add to her story is that Paula is living a complicated life lesson, one not for a young soul or an inexperienced one.

How did you feel while you listened to Paula share her story?

For Carla it resonated very much. Both in the description of the airplane scene, where Carla never knew there was anything NOT like her role as a female physician and single mother. She would never think of male privilege as being a 'thing'.

The part that warmed our hearts very much was the reconnection between Paula and her ninety-one year old father. 'Paula?....I don't understand any of this but--I'm willing to try.'

Tomorrow we will introduce you to our next guest...




clap! clap!

Aloha and Mahalos,
Namaste,
Peace,

Ross and Carla
The Twins who like coffee and tea, and especially sharing it with you.
