Hope everyone is doing well. Doesn’t it feel like the loooong month of January will never end? Its been brutally cold and frankly a rather dismal month. However my business has truly been a bright spot for me, I feel so lucky to be able to create and design and watch my dreams materialize into products that I think the market needs.<\/p>\n

Let’s just say if there was one<\/em> good thing that came from Covid, its giving me plenty of time to react, design and manufacture all kinds of beautiful things heading this way. Beyond that I greatly miss all the things I think many of us took for granted, seeing friends whenever wherever, city outings, parties, weddings, restaurant outings, travel. Oh how I miss travel, getting on a plane and starting a new adventure, perhaps one thing I miss most!<\/p>\n

It is definitely a time that many of us feel disconnected from our previous lives and selves. Just know, that\u00a0 this is not forever. There is light at the end of this very dark tunnel and when we do get back to normal life, think of the deeper much more profound meaning everything will have. I know that is the case for me.<\/p>\n

Onwards we go to this Sundays post-<\/p>\n

1\u00a0 FLOWER POWER<\/strong> Nothing like flowers to get me smiling….they just make me so happy. I am absolutely amazed at my amaryllis. These are from early Dec. They are still blooming like mad! Wish I could chalk it up my superior green thumb but I think its that they are very happy in their warm sunny spot with their daily dose of water. I am sure my oohing and ahhing over them. might play a small part too. At this rate will have them for Valentines Day!<\/p>\n

Found it so fascinating that these were a bright cherry red amaryllis and now they have changed into a dark, sultry moody red, quite beautiful! Nature is so amazing.<\/p>\n

2\u00a0 SOME FABULOUS PRESS! <\/strong>It is always an absolute thrill to see The Enchanted Home on the glossy pages of my favorite magazines. I will never give up my magazines, to touch and feel them (and keep a huge close full of them:) no digital version can ever compare to a real live magazines in my opinion. I keep my favorites and have a huge collection I cannot part with.

5.THE SOCIAL DILEMMA <\/strong>I had spoken about this months ago but it bears repeating, since we just watched it two nights ago. I am still so fascinated (and a little scared) of the place technology has in our lives. You talk into a Starbucks and it is no longer just the young kids glued to their devices, it is everyone. All ages. I cannot exclude myself but can say I have made a concerted effort to limit the time I am on my phone particularly at night as I see how it sucks you in. I know I can handle it but I do wonder and worry about the next generation.What is this creating? How will this tech dependency change the most basic fundamental way human being interact with one another?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

With such advanced and always improving algorithms, technology’s\u00a0 hold on us is only getting stronger. Don’t know what the answer is but I think admission that there is problem that needs to be addressed is the first step. Kudos to those silicone valley execs who were not afraid to come out and speak out about this. If you haven’t seen this yet, it is most definitely worth watching. Very fascinating.<\/p>\n
