Hello Beloved Community!
Well, Memorial Day has come and gone signaling the arrival of summer. The weather seems to agree that it is summer as we have recently had some beautiful days. Camp Akita has started its first camp session. Summer strikes me as a time of adventure and discovery. Some of us will be traveling. Some will take on home and garden projects. Most will spend time outside gardening, walking, or simply being out of doors. Many of us will spend time with family and friends doing those things that bring us joy and delight.
My prayer for all of us is that we pursue wonderful adventures this summer. Pushing our limits physically, emotionally, and spiritually. May we only briefly rest in our comfort zones while we challenge ourselves in a variety of ways.
I look forward to the opportunities ahead to gather again and for us to hear from one another about our adventures over the summer and to share with one another what we learned about ourselves as we tried new things and pushed ourselves to learn and grow.
Jen and I are excited about the SLLC Summer Salon Series that we have planned, and we hope to see many of you at one or more of those events. Also, there will be two Wednesday Gatherings under the tent during the summer. Keep an eye out for information about those. We look forward to seeing you there. We really appreciated the wonderful book suggestions that have been offered by many of you. It was fun to collect all those ideas and include them in this month’s newsletter. So many good books!
We have made great progress in the planning of the program year starting in the fall. There will be so many opportunities to learn and discover together. We will be sharing more information about the forthcoming program year at the Ice Cream Social in August. If you would like to have a sneak peek at what is coming beginning next fall be sure to join us for that event.
Again, I wish you all a wonderful summer full of fun, adventure, and growth.
Blessings to you,
