In today’s episode I talk about the 4 year anniversary of my fathers passing 9/14/2019. I always say grief is weird, hard to explain but those who understand know the feeling of loss. A feeling like someone special is missing the party and we are secretly hoping they walk through the door but subconsciously know that won’t ever happen.

Tea With D began because I needed a space to escape and express my emotions through a creative outlet. I rewind time and go back to that fateful day I received a call that would change the course of my life forever. The days leading up to the passing and the state of mind I was in. With a new perceptive 4 years later, a lot can change.

From the day he left this earth and how I’ve coped ever since. I touch on things that are rarely discussed in society in terms of death/loss. In the hopes that someone grieving can relate and not feel as alone. My hope is to remind people that everyone is going through something they don’t talk about, so be kind not only to others but yourself. 

Thank you Tealovers, your support and love means more to me then you will ever know!

Nothing changes unless we do. But PATIENCE is the key to success, often times we get discouraged that our manifestations are nowhere to be found. We get to the point where we want to give up because we think “what is the point”. 

But imagine if we kept pushing and pressed the gas a little harder so that one day we realize that we are living in the manifestation we dreamed of. Diane talks about her passed struggles and points in her life where she didn’t know if another door would open. 

If you are struggling to see the finish line and you feel like giving up, listen to today’s episode. It will give you perspective and the hope to realize that your dreams are just around the corner. You are the author of your story and you have the choice to write how the next chapter begins.
