We’re heading into the dog days of summer (at least here in the northern hemisphere) and that can feel like a time of slow progress, if any. But it’s actually a great time to check in with ourselves on the intentions we set back in the spring for our inner work and personal growth as well as those relationships, jobs etc. that we wanted to bring to life.
According to nature’s cycle, we’re at the half time. So stand up, stretch and clear your head!
Here we are, heading toward the bend to the end of summer; where many of our creations are in full bloom. We may even be harvesting the rewards of our efforts! But for some of those intentions we made, it’s only natural to hit a few snags on the way.
That’s why this time of year is a great time to step back and take a good long look at where we are and where we want to be. We still have time to re-set our GPS, recalculate our route, get support and of course celebrate our successes with a nice cool lemonade!

Now’s the time to acknowledge what you’ve accomplished in the past 6 months or so. And, I’m not just talking about those things you’ve accomplished in the “outer world.” But look to see how have you grown or changed personally. What have you learned about yourself? Acknowledge the milestones, and don’t discount the baby steps you’ve made toward those things you wanted for yourself.
I’ve been thinking about the energy that I’ve been aware over the past few days with people that I have been in contact with. As I took a deeper look at this, I realized that there is an air of overwhelm or exhaustion present in many people these days.
