Audit & Ask: July

Basking in the sunshine of decisions made.

Hello July

I rarely hear anyone ask July to be soft
With fireworks and summer sun
A grill and Bruce Springsteen songs.

But I want a gentle July, I whisper
One that wakes me early
with soft sunlight and crisp air

So I ask the sun
And I ask the air

Softer?
Crisper?
Sweeter?

July says, I am as you are.

Every month I check in - in my body, on my to-do lists, my habits, and my goals. I audit the last month in moments and learnings and celebrations and then I make requests of myself for the month ahead. Writing it down matters. I invite you to try out the practice, creating consistencies in our day and our months has been a necessity for me right now.

Here is my Audit & Ask for the past month of June to July:

AUDIT
Take a moment to close your eyes and see all that was June. Meetings, moments, people, health, work, commitments, failures, feelings, celebrations and all the learnings.

In one word, how was June? ___________________________

lachrymose.

What are two learnings you experienced from June?

1. I learned that if you want to write poetry, you have to sit down and write it. It will be right there.

2. I learned that I get to keep falling in love with people, a water source, a library - anyone and anything - it important for the soul and I/we must keep doing it. Again and again and again.

What are two celebrations you can share from June?

1. All three of my children finished up the school years in Maine with huge strides in their growth, incredible friendships and a love of books and writing.

2. I launched The Visions Sessions (a 6 weeks vision immersion, starts July 9, join in!) and I cannot wait to be in new programming inspired by my second e-book, Within Your Dreams.
