Introducing Monday Morning Musings!
for your Nature Escape …
I recently read about a term called Noticing Nature Intervention (NNI), hence my Monday Morning Musings. The premise is based on research that shows by taking time to purposely notice nature that is already in your life—for even a few minutes a day, such as looking at a tree or flower or critter outside your window or even gazing at a picture—we can strengthen positive emotions such as hopefulness, peacefulness, rejuvenation and awe.
In other words, spending time in or looking at nature improves our collective well-being.
When I read about this, I knew I wanted to help spread hopefulness and inspiration! And with a love of photography, I thought this would be a win win.
For that reason, I will be sharing simple weekly emails of photographs I have taken. Sometimes it may be a poem or short story I have written. All of which will hopefully uplift and inspire you. I hope these emails are a simple reminder that Nature is all around us.
To subscribe for your simple Monday Morning Musings (if you aren’t already), scroll to the bottom of this page and subscribe to My Blog Posts. Then sit back and relax. Your nature escape will be delivered effortlessly to your inbox each Monday.
So when you need an escape, stop and admire a tree or flower or bird outside your window or on your screen. Take in its beauty to soothe and inspire your soul.

This is filled with wonder awe and love. Karen you are inspirational.
Aww, thanks Charlie!
