Today, I took my six-year-old daughter out for tea. We have a standing date each month for this ritual we both love. I found today’s outing most enjoyable because of my daughter's natural authentic nature to Enjoy life.

She admired the teapots, cups and tablecloths. She savored the scones, fruit sandwiches, etc.. I enjoyed this event so much more today, because of Alexandra’s experience. So, here is my query for you. How might you be present and find joy in something that you do often? Think about it.

I can’t wait to hear from you.

Live fully,

Mia
