We’ve just cycled through our Summer Solstice – a time of warmth and joy as we embrace the fullness of growth from the intentions we’ve been nurturing since winter.  I love this time of year as it feels full, vibrant and open.  It is a good time to allow ourselves an observance of all we have given energy to in its many forms of creation.

It’s my Birthday.   I’m 48 today.  My Love, Andrew always talks about the value of choosing one thing to learn each year.  The value in choosing one thing allows it to condense down to a potency of refined nuance.  Allows the most conscious aspects of that lesson to be presenced and fully absorbed.  I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want to learn. 

Eight years ago I found myself in the center of a sacred circle, dancing, praying, feeling the tears run down my face as I stared at the sacred Sun Dance tree. I remember the year before I started dancing when I was at a Sun Dance as a helper, smudging the dancers and tending to the sweat lodges.
