There’s something magical about the first real breath of summer. It doesn’t just warm the air—it breathes life into everything. I like to think of each season as a fresh page, and summer? Summer writes in bold, sun-soaked letters!
Whether you’re coming out of a hectic spring, shaking off stress, or just looking to reset your mindset, summer invites us all to slow down, stretch out, and soak in some long-overdue positivity.
A Season of Light
Summer reminds us that joy doesn’t always need planning. It shows up in little things:
- An early sunrise that greets you with promise
- A walk without a jacket
- The sound of kids laughing in the distance
- A tall glass of iced tea or Coke Zero on the porch
- Windows down, music up, heart open
This is the time to let the light in: literally and figuratively.
Hit Refresh
The same way we fling open the windows to let the breeze in, summer invites us to open up our hearts and our habits. Is there something you’ve been putting off? A goal you let get dusty? A relationship that needs tending?
Start small.
Start today.
Start with grace.
Summer isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence.
At My Desk This Season…
From my corner of the world, this season means:
- Encouraging my team to take well-earned PTO and really unplug
- Keeping meetings a little lighter and more joyful
- Making space for creativity to bloom, EVEN in the middle of busyness
- Practicing gratitude for the people, pace, and purpose in my life
And yes, there’s almost always a glass of iced tea or Coke Zero nearby.
A Grateful Heart
More than anything, I’m reminded that this new season is a gift. Each sunrise is a blessing. Each day is another chance to do good, to love well, and to grow.
I thank God for His faithfulness, for fresh starts, and for the beauty that shows up in both the quiet moments and the busy ones.
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”
– Lamentations 3:22–23
So, wherever this summer finds you, whether you’re thriving or just barely surviving, I hope you feel the sunshine not just on your face, but in your soul.
Here’s to barefoot walks, wide-open skies, iced tea, and the beauty of simply beginning again. Let today be your fresh start.
With sunshine and gratitude,
