Summertime and the living is E-A-S-Y! As the Memorial Day weekend recedes into memory and the hot days of summer approach, I invite you to consider taking regular mini-vacations. You don't have to go to a theme park, much less a cross-country trip to enjoy a vacation: just take a deep breath or two, and sink in the vast, peaceful truth of who you really are, right here, right now! Ahhh.... Why not?
With joy,
