Tea Time is Great with a Friend!
By Ria | November 30, 2008
In the middle of the holiday chaos, I took a few hours to enjoy some downtime with my friend, Nicole, at the Ritz Carlton for Afternoon Tea. It has been a few years since I had Afternoon Tea and it was wonderful to share that experience again with Nicole, and for her first time.
Nicole is also a business owner (www.basketsofinspiration.net) but also works full-time in the military. She is going back to school to get a Masters degree in nutrition and like me, is a big believer in getting back from the Universe what you put into it. I love making friends with other “kindred spirits.”
Even if Nicole and I didn’t have the same life philosophy, it was a nice reminder that treating yourself is important and should be the norm rather than the exception. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed sipping tea, talking with a friend, and sampling savory tea sandwiches and sweets. The restaurant/lounge was beautifully decorated for the holidays and smells from the gingerbread house hovered just outside in the open hallway. The experience literally transported us to another time and place as we got to know more about each other and our aspirations for our lives. At the end of our tea time, we both promised to do it more often, as we also punctuated those promises with “I could get used to this!”
