IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN

The good news about Atlanta in the summer months (and it isn't even technically summer by the way) is that even though it is very, very hot-it is still lush and sublimely green! There is extensive green space in this city of ours thankfully, because sometimes it seems we endure a never-ending summer. However, thanks to the preponderance of the color green there is always a cool escape.

Green affects us both physically and mentally being the most restful and relaxing color to the human eye. It is actually proven to help alleviate anxiety and depression as it is the color of balance and harmony. Interestingly enough, a love of green is supposed to be the sign of an artistic temperament. So with the summer solstice upon us, I find myself longing for a lazy day lolling about in a hammock under a canopy of leaves…. mix up the margaritas!
