Christmas Teas
Categories:   Tea
I’m having my Christmas Teas this week. It was the Knitter’s Tea on Monday. I invite the knitters from the Senior Center and my dearest knitting friends to the house every holiday season. We enjoy wonderful delicacies, conversation, and then a show and tell. Each and every time I come away inspired and encouraged after seeing the lovely knitted and crocheted projects. These are some of the best knitters in the state and I’m proud to know them. 
 
This afternoon it’s the Swimmers Tea and I’m meeting with—naturally--my swimming friends. I’ve been doing laps at the local pool for twenty years now and I’m always amazed how much better we look in clothes!

The Power of Positive Thinking
Categories:   Tea Norman Vincent Peale
I was in New York last week just before Thanksgiving to speak at the Guideposts offices in Pawling for their annual Thanksgiving Day of Prayer.  The highlight of my visit was tea with Ruth Stafford Peale, wife of Norman Vincent Peale, the author of THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING.  Back in the days when I wrote on a rented typewriter and received a barrage of rejections, the one thing that kept me going, that gave me hope and encouraged me, was this book.  Later, after I sold my first novel, I wrote Dr. Peale and thanked him.  The most amazing thing happened.  He wrote me back and that was the start of my association with Guideposts and the Peale family.  My time with Mrs. Peale was a blessing I won’t soon forget.
