How is Midsummer almost here already?! ☀️🌿
Honestly, this year has felt like such a strange one...
Winter seemed to stretch on FOREVER, while spring slipped by almost unnoticed, save for a few teasing glimpses of HOT sunshine that made us think summer had arrived…only to disappear again. As I write this, I'm sitting listening to the rain hammering down outside, wrapped in layers, with the air feeling more like April than June.
As we edge towards Midsummer – traditionally a time of abundance, vitality, celebration, and standing in the fullness of the light – I find myself wondering where that feeling has gone. My body still feels like it's catching up, wanting to linger in winter's slower rhythm while the calendar races ahead.
Life, of course, has its own plans. Birthday season has officially begun in our house (three Geminis within 10 days!), bringing with it joy, cake, celebrations, and beautifully busy days. If it weren't for that, I think I might still be happily hibernating.
Maybe that's the invitation this Midsummer: not to force ourselves to match the season, but to notice where we truly are. To honour our own rhythms alongside nature's ever-changing dance. To seek moments of warmth, stillness, and connection, even if the sun is hiding behind the clouds.
Wherever you find yourself as we approach the longest day, I hope you find a little space to pause, breathe in the scent of summer, and soak up whatever light is available. 🌿✨
