Summer is here!!! Break out the sunscreen, barbecues and water toys. Time to clear out the clutter and lighten the load so to speak….bring on the new beginnings and start settling into a pattern for this year. We’re feeling the same energy at Nature’s Treasures so excuse our mess while we rearrange and shuffle things around. Remember its getting really hot out in the Rock Yard so come prepared with your hats and water bottles when checking out all the new goodies. Time seems to get away when you’re immersed in rock energy and before you know it your dehydrated and crispy.

Many June holidays go unsung despite carrying deep meaning. For example, today, June 1, is Dinosaur Day in memoriam of some of the largest creatures to have ever walked our planet. Then on June 5 we have World Environment Day. You may not have heard much about this holiday, but I get a sense that you will more and more as the years go on. This holiday was established to bring more global awareness of how we can and need to protect our environment. It’s a day to focus, on an international level, on air pollution, climate change, the littering of our planet and all things that, as a world of people, we are not paying enough attention to. The week of June 12 starts National Flag week with June14th as the official Flag Day. Our flag and specifically this day is for recognition of the greatness of our nation and acknowledgement and thanks to all of those who help us maintain our independence.

This year June 19 shares celebratory duties with Juneteenth, certainly a new beginning for African Americans with the freedom from slavery in 1865, and Father's Day, a beginning to a new life with the blessings of fatherhood. The first Father's Day celebration was documented on June 19,1910, and then in 1966 President Johnson proclaimed the 3rd Sunday in June to be celebrated as Father's Day. President Nixon made it a law in 1972 keeping Father’s Day permanent.

Summer's official beginning for the year starts this month on June 21 at 5:14 AM ET with our Summer Solstice. With the North Pole tilted the farthest from the sun on this day you’ll have the longest time of daylight of the year to accomplish all you can on this day. The next day, June 22 , is acknowledged as World Rainforest Day. On this day we celebrate with our affiliate Rainforest Partnership and encourage all to participate with us as we donate a portion of our proceeds from the day to this global cause.

Our online store has restocked your favorite incense fragrances and Sun’s Eye Oil, as well as, added popular polished quartz stand-ups in a variety of sizes. Everyone has been going crazy over our rough Rose Quartz from Brazil, so the online store is adding some excellent rough Rose Quartz from Madagascar! This Rose Quartz rough is very lustrous with great color, minimal inclusions and does not fade in the sunlight. It will be available in several different sizes so watch for our postings. They are also excited about offering some incredible Rose Quartz spheres that will be online soon.

Hope everyone weathered the fractal energy of the Lunar Eclipse okay. I'm sure everyone cheering on Mercury as it goes direct this month on June 2. That long day of summer solstice energy we’re going to have on June 21 carries with it an opportunity - a window of time to do some important self reflection. Carve out some time on this day to think about what all you have achieved and how far you’ve come, then think about where you want to go. It doesn’t matter who you are, or how old you are, do this for yourself and your own personal growth. This is a powerful manifestation time.❤️

Please everyone, continue to stay safe and healthy.
