Wow June has been a beautiful month here in RI and after a very, very busy spring time of gatherings and celebrations I am ready for this weekend in the Berkshires with college pals to hike, eat good food and enjoy the spa and connection - true hygge.
I love that our intention this month has the option to be fluid or to stay the same depending on what we need. However at the core of the intention is the idea that yes, it is our choice - our choice how we feel, how we move, how we interact, how we speak and so on.
In meditation this week we were given space to reflect on this-
I choose………
Read this slowly and maybe even write a little note for yourself:

I choose……
Not life chooses for me.
Not my habits choose for me.
Not my fears choose for me.
I choose.

Notice what arises when you say those words silently to yourself.

I choose.

This is more than a phrase. It is a practice.

Every day we are making choices—through our thoughts, our actions, our attention, our words, and our energy.

The summer ahead will not be created by one grand decision.
It will be shaped by hundreds of small choices.

The choice to be present.
The choice to rest when rest is needed.
The choice to move your body.
The choice to connect.
The choice to let go.
The choice to begin again.

As you breathe, imagine the summer you wish to create.

Not the perfect summer.
Not the busiest summer.
Not the most impressive summer.

But the summer that feels most aligned with who you truly are.

How do you want to feel?

Peaceful?
Joyful?
Connected?
Adventurous?
Healthy?
Grounded?

See yourself living from those qualities.

Now ask yourself:

What choices support that vision?

What choices nourish the person I want to be?

What choices move me toward what matters most?

There is no need to force an answer.
Simply listen.

Let this intention settle into your heart:

I choose the thoughts, actions, and habits that align with who I am becoming.

I choose to create a summer that reflects my values.

I choose to show up for the life I want to live.

Carry this with you as you move through your days:

I choose……….
