summer’s official start is this weekend. i am getting a jump on my favorite season by heading to the beach with my bestie tomorrow. i am so looking forward to lazy sunshine filled days, lying on the beach reading and drinking, and diving in the waves when i get too warm.
what i love most about summer, is that it has such an effect on everyone. we relax and move a little more slowly, the days grow longer and it seems okay to have an afternoon drink or two with a pal, we escape the concrete city and crowd the sandy shore. we are more open and bare…as we shed layers to keep cool, we shed some inhibitions as well. summer is the season when anything can happen, and often, crazy things do. embrace it! i say. enjoy and indulge. act out and act upon every silly impulse or opportunity that pops in your head or crosses your path.
i like to think of life as a movie or a tv show. we are the star of our very own making. the trick is to remember that unlike a movie or show, you can’t pause or fast forward when things get scary or troublesome—you have to take control and write and perform your way out of it. you have to really live through each twist and turn of the plot.
take a breath, close your eyes and conjure up your next scene then do your best to make it shine. summer is ripe for dreaming and scheming…make something good happen this weekend. set the stage for your next act to unfold…it may even surprise you…
