Meet my new guru!

 

We met last weekend at Crabtree Falls in George Washington National Forest.

 

Just in time, because tomorrow marks the summer solstice here in the Northern hemisphere.

For me, June has always meant it’s time to slow down a bit. Maybe because the majority of my years have been defined by school and summer break. I realized today, that there’s only been a handful of summers that were not sandwiched between school years (either for me or my kids).

Anyway, it’s summer, and I’m back in snail mode.

 

Snail mode is not really a physical pace (although it can be). Here it’s more of a mind-set.

 

 

I’m going to be less concerned with the overwhelming, the never-ending measuring stick, and more in tune with

family

nature

road trips

reading

The Art of Chasing Normal and dozens of great reads are only .99 this weekend! Just click on the image to get to the Summer Book Crush site.

Oh and forget perfectionism. I’ve got more important passengers.

So yummy pretty.

 

And I’m taking a deep breath of gratitude for where I am right now.

What does summer (or the change of seasons) mean to you?

Happy Weekend!
