On Tips and Tea on Tuesdays, I will cover a topic and hopefully provide you with some tips that will be helpful! And just as an afterthought, tea may occasionally be a cup of Joe!

Tea today, is a cup of Jo, in a cup that I am feeling is really important today. It is hard to listen to the news, and understand that there are people who are full of so much hate. I personally am blessed, I love my husband, we have a great relationship. We have a beautiful daughter. We have a wonderful family.

Today my Tips are simple ones:

Think of small ways that will make someone you love happy.

• Be kind.
• Smile.
• Say thank you.
• Enjoy the moment.
• Listen.
• Laugh.

I know that these are sometimes hard to achieve, but a little encouragement may be all that you need, I know that it helps me.

Happy tea drinking and stitching to you! ~Christen
