First, the title. I'm a writer, as in I write...that's it. Nothing following like titles that have been published or anything. I wish to change that and in my wanderings through literary agent bio's I came across an agent that made it plain she preferred 'both' coffee and tea, though apparently there are many that believe this is an impossibility. Well I thought about that and realized I was the same. I love both coffee and tea, not really sure if I had to pick a favorite which one I'd pick, but I go further in that. Since I was a kid I've never had just 'one' thing I was passionate about. I had many things I liked but nothing to dedicate all my strength and energy towards. Of course as a child this doesn't really matter but when you get older and people start expecting you to choose avenues that will lead to your career it starts becoming an issue.
I'm also an Aromatherapist, aspiring to open an Etsy online store that sells perfumes. (If you don't know what Etsy is but love hand made, organic stuff you have to check it out! www.etsy.com) I hope to do this in the summer of 2014 after I take the advanced class that will license me to work internationally where as right now I am only legal to work within the United States.
I don't have a particular love that I will forsake all others for, I never have. For some of you that might be normal, you might be like me, others might not understand. I've had friends that have fallen in love with themes, movies, they've dedicated their taste, their wallet and their creativity to these things that they are passionate about. I've always envied them and lamented that I did not share such a passion for anything. That is until I read an article about Elephants. I don't know if this is true or not but it said Elephants are lead by an alpha female (the female pack, the bulls go off on their own and have their own system of things). This female is picked because she is amazing at not just one thing, like finding food, defending the young, or finding good places to sleep, she's chosen because she's good at all of them. A 'jack of all trades' is what she was referred to as, and I think that's what I like to be.
I like to paint, read, write, I play a little music, I mess around with art programs and decorate, cook, and garden. I like all of these things, wouldn't give any of them up, but couldn't dedicate myself solely to any of them. That's where my title comes in, a slight play on words because of my beloved manatea tea buddy,
and my love for coffee. It's the same as my love for writing, and my love for aromatherapy, or natural perfume products. That's why this blog will be about both things. I plan on posting about my journey to be published (I'm in the rewrite stage now of my book, I'm actually here making my first post because I'm blocked!!) and become a published author, and I also plan on writing about my journey to become a internationally licensed aromatherapist and new business owner. (Plus any deals, contest, give aways will also be posted on here so keep an eye out!)
I know that since this is my first post and I'm basically a nobody so no one will probably see this post but for future reference when I'm a famous author and I sell the most beloved perfumes around the globe people can hearken back to this first post of mine and see where it all began!
Oh and BTW the fox is me, I wanted a picture of myself for my first post but didn't like my face so I put a fox there instead, I love foxes so yeah... oh and I just really loved that fabulous green hat!
