A Quiet June

                          I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.   L.M. Montgomery

It is not every year that I would ponder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.  Most years it is already hot and humid and uncomfortable in June.  But this year, for our area of the country, it has been different.  It rains a light summer rain every night while I sleep and I wake up to warm mornings where everything looks green and refreshed.  The birds are singing and the grass is green. I've started the ritual of taking my coffee with me to my small backyard and sitting quietly thinking about nothing really.  I just let myself begin the day in the soft sounds that surround me.  Maybe that is why I seem so at peace with what I have planned to do next which is to allow things to unfold slowly.  I have just finished a seventeen week coaching training and usually I am already starting something new. But this summer I am giving myself the gift of time. I am going to start each day with a quiet cup of coffee and see what unfolds.  It feels right to not have a plan.  I have lots of ideas but I think I will wait and see which one speaks to me the loudest.  What about you?  How do you want to spend your summer?  Does a quiet morning with a cup of coffee or tea sound just right?  Or is it the sound of picnics and people talking and laughing that is calling your name?  We all have different ways of spending the day. Sometimes the day begins with a quiet moment that builds into a loud roar. The important thing is that we spend it in a way that makes us feel alive and happy.  I hope that your summer will be filled with special moments that you will remember forever. 

             When you share your dreams and your talent with the world, magic happens.  Let the magic begin.

Coaching with Ginny helps me to focus on what is most important to me each day.  Getting things done no longer seems impossible.  Before I never had the time to paint. Now, a paintbrush is always in my hand.  PTK

June has always been an ending (of the school year) and a beginning (of a summer). Now that I am retired, I take the time to see every day as a beginning. After 31 years of rushing out the door in the morning, it is so refreshing to sit on the lanai and have a cup of coffee peacefully and reflectively.

Starting each day with some quiet time is such a nice way to begin. Adding in some morning pages and it all starts coming together. Happy summer to you. Will be fun to watch what unfolds here.

Beautiful painting and thoughts Ginny. I too take my first cup of coffee and sit outdoors and just listen. It's one of the many things I love most about warm summer weather.

Over the years this has always been my best way to hear gods whispers so to speak.... pushing me towards my creative pulse. I find it hard to understand people who don't give that a chance....who live so harried they lose themselves in the mix...happy June everyday to you this summer!
