TeaQuest #2 – For days when pause feels powerful
A Reh has arrived. It lies still, posture relaxed but gaze steady. By its side: a cup of green tea, steeped just long enough to draw out its earthy clarity.
“Not all stillness is passive—sometimes it’s a choice to gather.”
For those with to-do lists longer than daylight: maybe slowing down is less about losing pace, more about claiming space.
I blend watercolor, pencil, and quiet rebellion. One spirit at a time, the TeaQuest continues.

Number 6 of 61 "Visualize it Richly and Colorfully" doodles for the Index-Card-A-Day Challenge: Marker on 3"x5" card.
I'm working with 2 different themes a day and gave myself the added challenge of spending no more than 3 minutes creating each card.
The first theme is "Visualize it Richly and Colorfully". That is exactly what my business aims to do and is also a key part of creativity.
The second series is really "happy mail" to be sent to critically ill children from the following organizations: Hugs and Hope, Post Pals, Caring Bridge, and Send Kids the World.
The Index-Card-A-Day challenge is hosted by Daisy Yellow: daisyyellow.squarespace.com/icad/
TeaQuest – an illustration project for gentle beginnings
Lately, I’ve been drawing Tea Spirits: little animals with tea, mood, and message. One post each week—a thought, a mini quest for those with calendars bursting at the seams.
The idea sparked on a Monday that felt overwhelming. A relaxed fox with rooibos honey tea reminded me: “Not every day is about striving—some are for simply being found.”
I blend watercolor, pencils, and words. Let’s see how many Tea Spirits arrive—I’m following the tea and my sketching hand.

A mind is like a parachute. It does not work if it is not open.
~ Frank Zappa
Open-mindedness is a distinguishing feature of creativity because keeping an open mind is essential to thinking differently. An open mind allows for problems, challenges, and situations to be looked at from a lot of different perspectives. This allows for far deeper and broader understanding of the situation and facts. Those with an open mind are also more likely to let go of long-standing beliefs and thoughts if further examination reveals there are better ways of thinking.
Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult, I've decided, is only a slow sewing shut.
~ Jodi Picoult
The door represents the choices we make in life.
Choose between a life of riches or a life of happiness.

You can't stay mad at someone who makes you laugh.
~ Jay Leno
You can't stay mad at an idea that makes you laugh, either. Creativity requires a great deal of play, and highly creativity people respect this. Because there is no threat of failure in play, ideas can be tested, no matter how crazy they may seem. And when you're the person making you laugh, you can't stay mad at yourself very long.
There often seems to be a playfulness to wise people, as if either their equanimity has as its source this playfulness or the playfulness flows from the equanimity; and they can persuade other people who are in a state of agitation to calm down and manage a smile.
~ Edward Hoagland

TeaQuest #3 – For the journeys carried quietly
A donkey has joined. Ears alert, gaze soft, it rests beside a cup of Labachotee—a deep, calming brew with hints of strength beneath stillness.
“Some carry more than we know. Grace isn’t always loud—it’s often simply steady.”
For those who keep going, not for glory but because there’s no other way: may today’s tea offer quiet witness.
Watercolor, pencil, and a story unspoken. TeaQuest continues—one spirit at a time.
