About the Book

“Tea Bag”:  Noun

A small porous sack holding enough tea leaves to place in boiling water to make an individual serving of tea

 

The tea bag was invented around 1904 by Thomas Sullivan, a tea and coffee merchant from New York City.  He began using bags instead of more expensive tins to ship loose tea to potential clients.  The bags quickly caught on because of their convenience, and it was easier and quicker to make a cup of tea.  The rest, as they say, is history.

 

That is how our lifestyle has become.  We want everything easy…we want everything convenient…we want everything now!

 

We paid a price for the convenience of the tea bag: quality and flavor.  Likewise, we are paying a price for our rush-rush lifestyle: loss of values and loss of friendships, broken homes, mixed-up priorities, and the list goes on.

 

It’s time to get back to the simple life.  Here’s hoping this journal will inspire you to do just that.  Sit back, relax, grab a pen and write.  Or just have a cup of tea with me…it’s the most consumed beverage in the world.


About the Author

Faye Fitzgerald, a native Floridian, is an avid reader who, quite simply, enjoys words.

She loves to learn, write poetry, study language, collect antiques, travel, and entertain.

She loves the land with its majestic trees, and yet she has a fondness for the barren desert.

She inherited her love of hot tea from her father, but it was her mother who taught her that if

Southern hospitality could be "bottled", it would be in a glass of sweet iced tea.

She enjoys sharing that love of tea with others by giving tea parties.

She is a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and aunt.

To those who know her, she is a good friend who was once described as a "heart" because of her love for others.

Last but not least, she is a survivor with a sense of humor.

She lives in Central Florida.
