I was very much in hot water when I ran across this quote. I had landed in a foreign country by myself and had been backpacking Europe - one of my favorite things to do. I loved the adventure, meeting new people, trusting the process, and seeing what would unfold. For the most part, everything that unfolded was positive, almost magical. But one day I walked into a situation I didn't know how to resolve. Feeling overwhelmed, I read these words, and they made me laugh. I looked up and smiled back. I decided to be a strong tea. Savory.
A strong tea of a writer you are indeed.
Thank you!
