Simply summer lovin’! Yes! Here we are, like meeting up with an old friend – a long awaited reunion!

Most of us welcome the light and warmth of summer. After several months of the rain, cold and dampness of the spring transition, we are ready for the beautiful inviting rays of the summer sun. One quick observation will let us know that summer is upon us. Our plants reach for the sun to grow and mature to grant us a bountiful harvest throughout and at the end of the season. We actually are doing the same thing, with the extended hours of daylight our playtime extends. Even the expansive songs of the birds keep the vibration of this season humming.
We are so ready for this solar powered season! There are countless recreational activities to enjoying in the summer; grilling, picnics, social and annual events. If you're not inclined to any of these, is just so nice to be outdoors. Our diet is light and cooling. When we finally stop moving, we enjoy the availability of the local fresh fruits, garden lettuce, and veggies that are at our fingertips.

Summer allows us that freedom to dance with nature in our own unique way. It is like a season’s pass, a green light, a declaration to let go and enjoy the present moment! Just one note of caution with summer – it’s all fun and games until you overdo it!!! Too much yang will zap you this season if you don't balance rest and hydration with the fun. It's important to nourish yourself or you will wilt like the plants that are left out in the sun too long without water! So don't miss the multiple opportunities that this season blesses us with, just flow with it and find your own balance. Ah, summer!
