previously on "a cup of green tea"...

With many people recently adding their blogs, I've received a few questions about mine. I like to write so I've been trying to write everyday. This means that my "about me" is now on the second page. If you're a bit confused about the ingredients in this cup of tea read this post. It, of course, won't tell you everything, because secret ingredients are what make a recipe.

flavour of the week

Sunday's relaxation rivaled work, or at least for a while. And for the past couple of weeks I produced Debbie Davis' "Dollar Diva" radio show. Debbie is the owner of Dexter Mortgage and an experienced local broker. "Dollar Diva" was born, in the fall, as a means to answer listeners' questions regarding real estate, investing, and mortgage.

I had never actively listened to her show until now. I figured it was for more "grown up" people. But, after each new week, I started to realize that I could benefit from what she had to say. The most memorable part of the show, and the reason for this post, were her tips. She mostly focused on saving money, but many of the principles were applicable to other aspects of my life. So, it is, with that inspiration, that I decided to devote this Sunday's post to a few websites related to "saving."

Saving Money. Saving Energy.

And, taking it one step further I wondered, "If each day of the week had a flavor what would it be?"

My Mondays - Black tea, like most breakfasts...it starts my week.
Green,my favorite, my Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Wednesdays, the longer of the days, would taste of Oolong, the tea with a little boost of caffeine (of course not as much as Mondays').
Fridays' flavor, White. It's when I begin to slow down.
And my weekends, Herbals... hopefully relaxing.

the catalyst, the boiling water.

I am a student majoring in International Studies with a focus in Communication and Media. I currently work for a PBS television station and local radio station.

I guess you could say that's where this all began...

I wanted to write something other than waking up at noon today. While my life may be fabulous and all, stepping outside of something I know everything about and into something I rarely consider can add brand new ingredients to an already flavorful recipe. It's in those discussions you have with others, and yourself, where your tea gains strength.

This might not be your ordinary cup of tea.
It entertains, but educates.
It's tastes of the environment, but it's all about you.
