Well summer is finally here and so much seems to be going on! Father's day weekend always feels like the kick off to summer especially here in Denver. There were countless street festivals, opening days of summer markets, and several music performances....if you couldn't find something to do this past weekend you probably weren't trying! Ha. We had a sick child so missed the planned baseball game but made it to our good friends birthday party on Sunday afternoon. It is so crazy to me how fast this season flies by. We pack everything into summer...gotta get your camping trips in, summer concerts, pool time etc... I grew up in Florida where summer is all year around so this scrambling to do it all never existed until I moved away and experienced what four seasons was really like. It does not have to be a scramble, take your time, enjoy poolside, build an awesome fire with your kids, go firefly hunting. If you miss something no worries, there's always next summer!
So with summer officially here take some time for yourself. Personally I welcome summer with an amazing meditation practice. If weather permits, I will set my alarm for 4:30am on the morning of the summer solstice and sit on my front porch meditating and waiting. Waiting for summer to arrive, you can hear the birds wake up, feel the sun rise, and listen to everything around you including yourself awaken to summer. It truly is an amazing experience.
Have a happy and safe summer! Here are some pics of my little naturally loved one enjoying her summer!
