Find an ally you can trust

As we move forward into what will probably be a difficult time, we need to marshal our energy around an idea, a movement, a collection of activities through which we can find and establish Good.  We never really know who we can trust.  Perhaps this guy, this 44th President in whom so many invested so much hope might be a future partner.  Since he is not planning to fade away, you might want to get to know him a little better.

The Tea Bus

Can you image buying a bus and traveling the country giving away tea to anyone who wants it, for free.  Now can you image that such is the nature of your life–for a decade? If that seems unusual, strange or even impossible, meet Giusepi Spadafora, the Tea Man.

The beauty of a phenomenon like this is that it shows us a different way of being.

Visit the Free Tea Party site. Wander around.  If nothing else, your heart will feel a little warmer.
