Greetings!
"Smell the sea, and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
As I begin writing this month's newsletter, I find myself pausing, as I often do, to notice small celebrations woven into the days ahead. August offers a few delights.
The first notable one is August 3rd—National Watermelon Day. A sweet invitation to remember sun-warmed afternoons, childhood laughter, and the simple joy of something shared. Perhaps we can each savor a slice, letting it carry us back, if only for a moment.
Later in the month on August 26th, we celebrate International Dog Day—a day devoted to our loyal furry friends.
We have two dogs. Truthfully, we celebrate them every day, but we will still mark the occasion with extra affection. Pepper is our seven-year-old black mini poodle, and Rumi, the poet, is our amber-colored mini poodle; he just had his third birthday last week. We love going on walks in the forest together. Rumi is very social and wants to be everyone's friend. He has brought such light into my life.
Poodles are so smart, and unlike some humans, they are very empathetic!
I hope you're having a lovely summer, and that somewhere within it, you have found—or will find—a place that feels like a small dream come true.
Sending good vibes your way!
