Happy Summer Solstice, UTD!
Blame it on the Summer haze or the WGA strike, but either way, the news cycle was relatively quiet this week. I hope you are finding some downtime to rest, relax, and recharge during these Summer months.
On the longest day of the year, The Summer Solstice empowers us to align with the wheel of the year and also nourish the light within. The Summer Solstice is an energetically charged day and an important one for setting intentions.
- What are the career goals you want to manifest over this Sun charged Summer?
- What habits do you want to nurture in this Summer Growing Season so that you are ready to reap an abundant Fall Harvest?
If you are feeling antsy about the WGA strike I hope you will join Annie and me next month for our Seeking Representation During the WGA Strike with Actors Connection. The event is free but registration is required.
