This week I have I been enjoying looking at the summer and taking inventory of the challenges and fruitful opportunities that the past 3 months have brought. Each year as the seasons fold from one to another I find I have a strong urge to stop and reflect…This reflection has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Having a Celtic background the turning of the seasons holds great significance. Each season has a feel and rhythm that is honored.
My greatest lessons this summer have been:
- My friends are really my tribe and guardian angels and I love and care for them very much.
- Taking care of and being with family are super high priority.
- When I move too fast and cut back on the care I give myself – I pay a price.
- Lots of time in nature totally fills my soul and rejuvenates me.
I would love to hear what the summer lessons you have gained this summer.
To me having a clear conscious understanding of life’s lessons is living consciously.

Great Awarenesses, Maureen! I see all of those aspects functioning in my own life as well 🙂
I too, have paid the price of dwindling self care during the busy summer days.
It’s interesting how a little self-neglect can create a disproportionate expectation for what is really needed to fit the bill. I found a few minutes here, a short walk there, a soak in the tub were all great options to begin the recalibration process, restoring hope and a sense of the free-flowing giving self that everyone (including me) loves to experience!
Yes Angel! And the good news is that Autumn for me is a time of self reflection-a bit more inner. I am just this week looking at how to get quieter and how to look more closely at what needs to be different and more supportive.I like to remember that we really do have choices.
