Day 13: Coffee or Tea
I am a tea drinker. I have tons of tea pots and loose tea and tea in tea bags. I drink tea daily, definitely first thing in the morning. Sometimes before bed I’ll have a relaxing tea, like lavender. Or I’ll drink a detox to help with my edema and fluid retention.

Day 11: Eyes
Eye certainly express emotions. As a counselor, there are times, clients will not look at me or anyone for that matter. Fear, shame, guilt, uncomfortable, timid, anger etc.
We are in a society where a lack of eye contact is “normal.” It does not have to be normal. We can change that, but getting social and being more friendly and open to other people. We seem to focus on the differences of others and needing to prove our individual point instead of learning about others’ viewpoints. Social media has contributed to the lack of eye contact and the need to post how “wonderful life really is.” But it’s just that a post, it is a second of some ones’ life captured. But look into their eyes, look into their soul and find out more about a person. That is how we can change.

Day 5: Shadow
This challenge is about shadow. I took photos of the shadow from the trees two days after the intense winter storm. The sun is shining and some of the snow is melting. It’s cold though.

Day 4: Something Green
Plants. I love a home full of plants. Indoor plants provides a natural look to the decorating but plants are a benefit to our health and home
Benefits of Plants
- Air purification, indoor plants can absorb carbon dioxide and they help release oxygen
- Plants release moisture into the air.
- Plants improve your mood
- Reduce fatigue, improves stress and anxiety.
- improve focus
- minimizes headaches.
- helps with dry skin
Photography of My Plants
From left to right: cactus, green onions, Christmas cactus
Palm tree- it’s 11 years old
Snake plant
From left to right: ivy, peppermint
Christmas cactus
Both of these are cactuses
Poinsettia tree- I took the plant a few years ago and replanted it in a larger pot. I heard it can be grown indoors. It needs to be in a dark place to get the red leaves, but around Christmas I get a few red leaves even near this window.
From left to right: mini rose, and some kind of cactus (I think)

Some kind of tree plant.
Those are my plants, they are in my living room, dinning room, and the bedrooms.
I love bringing nature into my home. It’s fun watching them grow and bloom.
If I move, I really would love to have a sunroom to put my plants in.

This post was to be about clouds. But I wanted to capture the snow. The mideastern states has a snowstorm. All precipitation was present…rain, warmer temperatures, ice wintery mix and snow.

It’s very important to dress warm outside. I have tons of scarves and hats and gloves. I need to buy a new winter coat and boots for next year. The links below is what I am considering.

Friday Morning Cleaning at the Studio
This morning, the floors needed to be cleaned. I decided to get the floors finished before I get ready for work. Today I’ll be working from home. I love Friday’s for that reason.
There’s some areas of my house that needs dusting. I’ll try to do that in-between my sessions.
The candles in my family room and bathroom are turned on(I use hot plate warmer and plug in candle wax- I have cats!) Hoping the fragrance from the candles will energize my home and make it feel refreshing.
Photos of Fresh Snow
We had fresh snow last night. Maybe 2 inches of snow. It’s much warmer than it was the last three days. But there’s more cold and snow in the forecast next week.
On my walk early this morning, these photos were taken.
Preparing for Smoothies
On my counter there’s bananas that are becoming brown. I don’t care for them at that point, so I cut them up and put them in the freezer for future smoothies. Also can be used for banana bread. Great way to save money and be intentional about your diet.
This evening I’ll be knitting and resting. I work on Saturday, all day!
Happy Day
