(Video) What is the Summer Your Soul Desires?
“Green was the silence, wet was the light, the month of June trembled like a butterfly.” ―
I fell in love with Western North Carolina in summer 2014 when I was in Asheville doing a book signing. I have traveled to Turkey, Japan and many places in between– but had never been to the stunning, ancient Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. This sensual, lush, vibrant landscape had me at, “Hello!”
This week I’m pausing to reflect on what I need to say, “Yes!” to and what I need to say, “No!” to — in order to have the summer my soul desires. I invite you to join me (and check out my NC June 17th Permission Granted mini retreat where we’ll learn the art/science of self-care). Watch my 2-minute video invitation below:
Every week I ask a “Live Inside Out” question that helps me to slow down and live more intentionally. This week, I’m playing with creating the summer my soul desires. Join me!
