🍵🫖Slowly she walks towards the window. The gnarled wood of the windowsill bathes in the sun rays of the soft morning sun. She longs for the warmth to relax her cold, tired muscles. Carefully she places the feather-light glass on the wood before pouring the ‘Celestial Chamoflora’ tea into it. A generous spoon of honey slowly melts in the hot water.
As she sips the golden yellow drink, she enjoys the view. The old tree right in front of her window proudly displays her autumn attire. The silent tranquility emanating from the tree calms her tense nerves. She takes another sip of her tea. The delightful combination of chamomile and a hint of honey caresses her taste buds, bringing a sweet, comforting warmth that spreads through her entire being. It is like an embrace from within, an echo of the golden autumn day shining in through the window.
“Thank you, dear Mildred,” she whispers. “You always know exactly what I need.” She remains standing for a while, lost in thought, enjoying the peace that gradually descends upon her.
🤗💫When I wrote this micro story, I experienced the same sense of peace descending upon me. As if I was drinking my own cup of Celestial Chamoflora.
I hope this post brings you the same feeling today 🤗💫

Your Personal Sanctuary
“Do you have a dear friend, a mentor, or a wise soul in your life whom you can always rely on for comfort and wise counsel? Perhaps there is a charming little shop or café in your neighborhood, a place that feels like a safe haven, a respite from the daily hustle and bustle?
In our story, this is ‘Mildred’s Herbs & Curiosities’, a place that radiates a gentle warmth and where you are welcomed with a smile that melts life’s worries away. Mildred has a gift; she always knows exactly which tea perfectly matches your mood. It is more than a cup of tea; it is a gesture of understanding, a hug for the soul, a moment of pure serenity in a cup.
I am curious; do you have such a special place or person in your life? A place that offers warmth, comfort, and a sense of safety, or a person who always finds the right words to reassure you? I invite you to share your story in the comments.
Embark on a New Journey with Mildred
