What wants to come alive this summer?


Hello Reader.

Happy New Moon, my friend.

On this Gemini New I find myself settling into one of my favorite rhythms of the year . . . my annual Summer Slowdown.

This bright sunny season is a time when my office shifts outside, to our camp patio where I am immersed in the forest and have a stellar view of the lake.

Oh how I love the quiet mornings, lake swims, long walks, extra play time with Koda and Clover, and sunny space to linger in reflection as I listen closely within.

It is a time to pause and consider what is emerging on my path . . . what wants to come alive, what dreams and possibilities are ready for my attention, and where I am being called to amplify my energy to support the life I am creating.

A Gemini New Moon Reflection

The Gemini New Moon is a wonderful time to sink into these considerations with sincere curiosity. It invites us to become more conscious of the stories we are living, the possibilities we are cultivating, and the places where our energy, attention, and intention have the power to shape what comes next.

As you sit with this moon, I invite you to reflect on the version or part of yourself you are calling forward.

  • What qualities does she/he embody?
  • How does she/he move through the world?
  • What is she/he ready to say yes to?
  • And what support might help you stay connected to that vision?

What Are You Choosing to Amplify?

Goodness, I just love sitting with this question . . . as we meet with the summer solstice later this week, the sunlight is naturally amplified. Consider where you want to focus that energy . . .

Is it your creativity?

Your confidence?

Your connection to joy?

A dream you've been carrying quietly in your heart?

A new chapter that is ready to unfold?

Whatever is calling for your attention, energy, and intention, listen.

Find ways to bring it into your daily life.

Speak it.

Write it.

Sink into sacred practice with it.

Get creative with it.

Surround yourself with reminders of what matters most.

A Talisman for the Journey

For thousands of years, crystals and stones have accompanied us through seasons of growth, transformation, and new beginnings. They serve as touchstones for our intentions and companions for the journey ahead.

This is one of the reasons I have always loved crystal and stone jewelry.

A meaningful piece becomes so much more than an adornment . . . it is a reminder of what you are choosing to nurture, embody, and amplify with each passing day.

As you dream into the season ahead, I invite you to explore the Journey Jewels collections.

Notice which piece catches your eye.

Which stone continues to get your attention.

Which adornment feels like it belongs in the story you are writing this summer.

Trust that nudge.

Sometimes the piece that chooses us knows exactly what we are ready to amplify.
