Sometimes I think I am more attuned to the passage of time because my birthday is the first of the year... As the embodiment of Father Time/Baby New Year, I'm always rebirth8ing myself as the year wheel spins...

We are so used to seeing the world as a 2 dimensional image - the Solar System, Moon and Sun orbits are always shown as a simple drawing of concentric circles. When the reality is that our ENTIRE milky Way Galaxy is shooting across the vastness of space at speeds we can't comprehend...and our sun is too, and so are we.

When we stop to think about this reality, the scene in front of our very eyes becomes a miracle. How is it that things are 'slowed down' enough for us to even walk across the earth?

I'm sure you've heard that Solstice means "sun standing still"...

So this is a strange dichotomy just like the wonder of the movement/stillness of our cosmic experience above. While it is the height of the growing season, and everything is vibrantly reaching, striving, blooming, etc. We are at a standstill at the same time. Solstice gives us a chance to pause, to recalibrate, review and see if our ideas and goals at the start of things is still the same...what tweaks do we need to make? What weeds of distraction do we need to eliminate? How have WE grown and bloomed in the interim?

The Solstice is not a one-time event...it holds a space for us for about 3 days... just like a Full or New Moon's energy. Take advantage of the Universe holding this container for us and review your ideas, goals, dreams. Ground them in the earth once more, and don't forget to water! 
​Blessings and Peace!

Hard to believe we have turned halfway through the year of 2025 already. Somebody told me that yesterday was the numerical mid-point of the year, and thet, starting TODAY....we are CLOSER to 2050 that 2000!!

Let THAT sink in!

As someone born in the 1900's, this is a shocking revelation. I just don't FEEL that old. Though my body changes and gray hair would like to tell me otherwise! Then again, some days, I feel as old as Mother Gaia herself. It's all about perspective.

Today, lest's step forward into the future with hope and a sense of wonder... we've never been here before! The entire planet and our own bodies are being re-wired and recalibrated by the incoming Solar codes. Junes is the time of Growth, and since it is "early" in the season, now is the time to weed our garden of Self and pull anything that doesn't serve our goals we planted in Spring. 
We've GOT this! 
Let's be like the plants in our yard and the trees in the forest...ever reaching towards the Sun and the Light. Today, plant you feet squarely of the Earth, and, like a sunflower, turn your face to the Sun. Breathe in those photons and think of them entering your bloodstream, infusing you with the LIGHT of Growth.
Be Blessed. ;)

(Ps...summertime BLUES refer to the gorgeous BLUE sky overhead, encouraging us to seak our TRUTH.)
