I awoke today with a sense of abundant opportunity--just because it's June and because so many things happen in this pivotal month: graduations, weddings, Father's Day, summer solstice, and the long-awaited kick-off to barbeques, family vacations, and perhaps some summer reading.

 

June is a time to celebrate being alive--and to spruce up those areas of our lives that may be in need of some refreshing or updating, sorting or throwing away. I know my garage is begging for some attention. (How did it get so cluttered over the winter?) And I feel a certain sense of urgency around the idea of cleaning out some mental baggage that I didn't even know was hanging around.

 

For me, the opportunity to let the sun of June shine into consciousness is perhaps its greatest gift. In the light of a more generous attitude toward self and others that earlier mornings and later evenings can bring, I discover an openness of heart and mind that comes from taking stock of how I am being in the world.

 

Two weeks ago I spent the entire day in Yellowstone National Park, driving roads I had never explored, sitting beside the gently flowing waters of the Gibbon River as it spread unfettered across an enormous meadow, and relishing the expansive beauty of wilderness that goes on further than the eye can conceive. And in the midst of it all, a sense of universal wonder that I should be here to witness nature's exuberant emergence into the sunlight.

 

This month of June, I wish for you the same abundant enthusiasm I felt that day in the Park. May you find new inspiration and awareness in what is reflected back to you from life and love in all their many guises.

PS: I almost forgot to mention that The LIGHT Process: Living on the Razor's Edge of Change was named a Best in New Non-Fiction finalist by International Book Awards.

One lovely thing about June is its ability to inspire me to write. I'm working on some new pieces (still a secret) and the blogs are flowing. Here are the most recent postings:

Please tell your friends and other retreat enthusiasts about this profoundly transformational four-day event in the mystical high desert of New Mexico. We will delve deeply into the process of change as an opportunity for personal growth and a more conscious partnership with Spirit. 

Give yourself the gift of greater awareness of the inner resources you already contain along with some powerful techniques for accessing them in the midst of turbulent times.
