Dear friends, Welcome to Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, longest day of the year. The sun has sun reaches its highest and northernmost points in the sky. In Seattle, this feels so expansive with our very long daylight hours. Today, we are blessed with bright sun and thin, wispy clouds, and it does indeed feel like the kickoff to summer. On our morning walk, I took the dog through UpGarden, my neighborhood urban oasis where the explosion of color and vibrancy of the flowers is positively breathtaking. And wow, the bees!! The happy, busy bees got me thinking about cycles and seasons of productivity – in Nature, and therefore, all living beings. These bees are collecting pollen or seeking a Queen with every waking hour: Now is the time. And, it feels quite special when I sometimes spy one at the end of a day – alone, still, and sweetly tucked into a leaf or flower nook to rest itself for tomorrow. They know inherently how and when it is time to rest. May we learn from them. Sunshine and rest,
