“New chapters start when you’re brave enough to turn the page.”
This month is all about peace and love. Nestled between May’s resurgence of happiness and July’s unwavering strength, June offers us a moment of balance. It gently ushers in the summer season, inviting us to embrace the warmth of sun-kissed days and the simple pleasures that come with them—breezy afternoons, beach visits, the squawk of seagulls overhead, the sweet smell of boardwalk funnel cakes, and the familiar hum of a neighbor’s lawnmower. It’s time to pause, breathe, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You’ve earned this moment—make it count!
Mantra for June: Peace begins when I let go of what I cannot control. I exhale what is done. I inhale what is next.
