July is a busy month– we’re in the throes of a very erratic Mercury Retrograde, Jupiter moved into Leo, and Mars, which directly affects us by demonstrating how we best get things done aligned with unpredictable Uranus. This is quite a summer season and to provide you with inspiration and a reminder, your message this month is in the form of a wonderful summer song. It’s the basis for your own personal soundtrack and it was chosen to remind you to relax and just be. I encourage you to sing it, hum it, dance to it.
We’ve gone through a lot this last year and a half, and we must remember that it’s a good idea to reflect on our experiences as we move through the rest of the summer season. And it is of ultimate importance that we continue combining our Hope with its allies Courage, Commitment, and direct Action if we’re to have a better world. The shift toward victory has occurred and we must keep in mind that there are more of us than there are of them. Please remember that each of us is capable of doing potentially mysterious, empowering deeds and of displaying courage, integrity, and heart so vital and vibrant to the continuation of all that we hold dear– and then, heed John Lewis’ words– “Do the necessary thing and make good trouble.”
“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.” Edward Everett Hale
“I love you, my sister and brother, whoever you are– whether you worship in your church, kneel in your temple, or pray in your mosque. You and I are all children of one faith, for the diverse paths of religion are fingers of the loving hand of one Supreme Being, a hand extended to all, offering completeness of spirit to all, eager to receive all.” Khalil Gibran
“Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities– always see them, for they’re always there.” Norman Vincent Peale
