- My Mermaid Moments -
9/2/10
Happy Chinese New Year! I wish you all an interesting and safe journey this year. The year of the Tiger is said to symbolise big changes and so may you flow with these changes with grace and gratitude. No matter how tough the lessons we need to learn, hopefully you can always “find” the sweet spot or discover the “hunny jar” when you least expect it.
You may already know that I am selling up – that I am ready to take on a new project and hand over the reigns to another passionate like-minded soul. I feel that I have come full circle and the timing is right for Tea by the Sea to set sail towards Phase 2! If you’ve ever dreamed of your own sea change – or tea change! – perhaps this is your year to follow your dream? Wake up to the birds and the sound of the ocean in the background. Replenish your cup in every possible sense. I have loved doing just that and enjoying brekky or dinner in the tea gardens and really listening. It’s a funny thing hearing yourself think after a busy day.
It’s been a treat to enjoy the same peaceful ambience that you experience when you visit Tea by the Sea, as it’s been my home too for more than three years. Thank you for the journey – it has revealed so much to me about myself and what I am capable of. And yes I have surprised myself! Change is in the air. If this is for you (we will both know if it is) then please contact me as the world is your oyster.
In sweetness and light,
Mermy

Wow! What a busy few weeks it has been!
I certainly feel I’m donning my marketing hat again which is great. These last few months have been full of personal and professional challenges.
Finally I am seeing my new retail tea range come to fruition – the real “Mermaid Moments” has been born! Now my guests can take a little “Tea by the Sea” with them and enjoy it at home (or in the office, or on a boat, or in a park or on the beach - make mine iced!).
And that’s what I wanted to achieve for both my customers who visit me regularly, and for those wanting to experience their own tea ritual – brewing a fabulous cup of tea any time they choose and then enjoying a sense of calm (even if just for one magical moment!).
I think particularly in this day and age, we’re all running against the clock and have so much to do that sometimes we loose sight of the simple things in life. And how can you look past a good cuppa? Share it with a friend along with some afternoon tea delights, take a sip while you help the kids get ready in the morning, run through your check list for the day and just gather your thoughts before heading out and about, or relish some “me-time” – any time!
The launch of Mermaid Moments - Tea by the Sea coincides with Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. I’m proud to be sponsoring this event and donating my tea to raise funds for the Cancer Council. Last month we lost a very special person to cancer and so this event is my tribute to you Georgie – have a cup of tea on me! Cheers!
With love
