The Energy of July

Happy (almost) Fourth of July!

What are you up to for the holiday weekend? And how's the weather where you are, amidst the heat wave hitting many parts of the US (and world) right now?

In no particular order, here are a few ideas to embrace the energy of July. 

• Use the month to do some planning and reflection, as we hit the mid-year mark.

• Invite the neighbors over for ice cream or lemonade in the driveway.

• Make a no-cook recipe.

• Grill something.

• Embrace all things summer: summer schedules, summer intentions, summer reading, music, recipes, and gatherings.

• Consider ways to create more freedom in everyday life.

• Dabble in a bit of gardening. 

What's on your list for the summer?

And, how are you currently embracing the energy of July?
