    From My Cup to Yours

     

    Happiness is not a matter of events; it depends upon the tides of the mind.

    —Alice Meynell

    Welcome to the café! Your ChaiMama can seat you now .. If you're like me, you're short on time and privacy and long on lists of things that need to get done. Most women these days are on overload - whether she's stay-at-home, work-at-home or work-at-work. So it's only natural that we gravitate toward each other for a little camaraderie when we bump into each other at school events, a downtown café or at our favorite blog spots. What we talk about when we connect is what OregonChaiCafe is all about.

    So to make this click, tell me what's on your mind and I'll tell you what's on mine! Right now, what's on my mind is finding a little respite from the hectic pace of my week. Occasionally even a ChaiMama needs a little time for me so here I am, neatly tucked into my favorite window seat, blogging about things I love: Oregon Chai tea, music, my family and power walks. Before I blogged from home I was an editor for a tea-related magazine as well as a handful of other consumer magazines and books, and though I love my life, I occasionally long for parts of the old one. One day one of those longings took me down to one of my old coffee-shop haunts and what started out as a search for Nirvana ended up as a relaxing afternoon with a delicious cup of Oregon Chai. Love at first sip! One empty mug later, in a heightened state of Nirvana, I knew was hooked!

    Besides chai, I get a kick out of:

    • Throwing a dinner party that has them talking a month later about my pad thai
    • Wilco (LOVE the latest album)
    • Pitching in and making a difference
    • “Authentic” anything—Moroccan food, found art, vintage postcards, quality time with my family.

    Enough about me for now. I hope you'll check back in each day to enjoy of cup of Oregon Chai with me and share your thoughts about chai, your own Nirvana, and what makes you tick. In return, I’ll share positive news, recipes, cooking and entertaining tips; home ideas, worthwhile causes and people—and an inspirational quote every day. Enjoy!

     

    Cheers,

    OregonChaiMama

    Индивидуалки on June 24 2010, 11:58 said:

    За умеренную суму они могут получить все, что хотят, причем жрицы любви от этого получат не меньше удовольствия, чем их клиентки. Большинство женщин, которые имеют такие наклонности, стараются их скрыть, потому что уже имеют семью и мужа, который может негативно отреагировать на такие желания своей супруги, а это чревато скандалом и, что еще хуже, разводом. Именно по этой причине, женщины предпочитают тихонько заказать эту услугу у проститутки Сочи, и отлучиться на часок, другой, чтобы удовлетворить свои природные желания и фантазии.
