12 Ways to Savor Summer!

Hello Inspiring Souls!

Summer is upon is already! Time is flying by and it’s so easy for each season to just whip on past us. Each season I say I want to really experience things of that season and I often do not, so I though making a list of some summer ideas to pull from would be a good idea!

Some ways to Savor Summer:

1-Go to the Farmers Market, just enjoy being outside, buy some fresh flowers and  or fresh fruit.. Soak it in!

2-Go on a Picnic

3-Go to one (or way more) of the local Summer Events, there are often free little events of music in a local park, County Fair’s, little street fairs etc..

4.Eat Summer Fruit, berries and mangos are some of my faves!

5-Create a Staycation (or if you are in a place to be able to a mini/log vacation) for me it will be a staycation!

6-Pick a great Vacation read (even if it’s for your staycation) I read lots of personal growth books, books on spirituality etc sometimes a bit of just pure fun and mind candy is in order!

7-Go to the Beach (wear sunscreen) if you don’t have a beach near you, go to a fun summer spot and if all else fails, go to a park, kick off your shoes and dig your feet in the sand there (snap a pic of it!)

8-Create a Summer Soundtrack

9-Go outside at night and look up at the stars, one of my favorite things in the warm weather (we actually get warmer weather after summer but still..) is to go outside when it’s still warm but not hot and enjoy the night sky

10-Capture Summer moments, grab a journal and just write down some of your favorite moments of summer as you savor the season, in words and in images.

11-Go outside and blow some bubbles!

12-Enjoy some BBQ (even if you don’t eat meat, some veggies are super good grilled up!)

A few things that are on my list (along with a bunch from above are) Eat a fully loaded veggie dog, get a pedicure and wear sandles!

Celebrations and Planning -April-May

Hey Wonderful Souls!

Can you believe it’s May tomorrow? Ack where does the time go? For something sort of different this week I thought it would be a helpful idea/prompt to:

Look at April and reflect (and if you feel called to) capture in your journal (or post on your blog!)  what:

was 1 struggle

3 Celebrations (things you accomplished, clarity you have now etc..)

and 5 things you are grateful for.

List 1-2 things for May that you would like to:

-Do/Experience/Engage in

-Accomplish

-Feel

I will even go first! I would love it you felt called to sharing any of them with me!

Look at April and reflect (and if you feel so called) capture in your journal what:

was 1 struggle: Getting honest with myself about what’s holding me back from where I want to be.

3 Celebrations (things you accomplished, clarity you have now etc..)

1-Partcipated in Week in the Life ( I will share a bit once it’s all put together, the pics are ordered already!)

2-Upped my veggie intake and managed to start doing a veggie day this last week so no meat!

3-Did lots of reading! Some were just being finished up and some started and completed including reading and defining my style statment (more on that in another post in the near future)

and 5 things you are grateful for:

1-Inspiring things: books, podcasts and music

2-Kind comments from readers

3-New connections made

4-Seeing the inspiration and beauty in the everyday thorugh my iPhone lens!

5-Clarity

My weekend in pictures…

Hello Beautiful Souls!

I soaked in the lovely weather we were having this weekend, after some rainy days it was even more welcome! While the images do not show it I spent a lot of time with my family as well. I got a super inexpensive tiny treasure (and lesson!0 and got motivated to clean the balcony that has been out of control, dead succulents and just a mess, still more to do out there but phase 1 made me feel happy about taking action! I also played in my journal adding bits here and there to start pages but not always completing them.

My weekend in pictures…

And there was my weekend in pictures! What was your weekend like?

Never Forget.. In memory of..

Hey Beautiful Souls… I ran across this video on you tube that I thought it was a very powerful reminder of the tragic and horrific events  10 years ago..

In memory of all those lost that day, the days after and the brave souls who keep fighting for our freedom…

With that, I ask you as I have been asking myself lately and even more so today..

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
