Summer Solstice Party

Well, i want to say thank you to all the lovely people that came out today for the Solstice celebration and to all that didn't hope you had a wonderful first day of Summer. We had what seemed the pre-music crowd and the music crowd there definetly were a few through it all and beyond... but is was so wonderful and fun. I must admit though i was a bit uneased my reason but i just decided to let go and let the universe take care and it would all be fine.. and it was. Anyways, it was a wonderful day my camera ran out of batteries and wasn't working well so i do not have so many pic's but i do have a few to share.


We had a fun time making the flowers head wreaths. I tried to keep them simple. I shredded many strips of gauze material in several colours. We then braided them and added a few flowers. I think they looked really sweet.

Especially on the kids.... A. was being goofy with hers and seems ended up as a necklace. :)

More beautiful people making their flower wreaths. The older girls where enjoying making theirs... i thought it was perfect how sweet they were and beautiful!!

We also made seashell necklaces that a wonderful mama answered my call for a nature swap and sent me a wonderful bag of seashells, sand dollar pieces and coral. It is so beautiful how generous people can be and care they take into doing it. I drilled little holes in the shells and tied a piece of string. Then we put them on yarn and well they were sweet.

The lovely Sara to lead us in song. She is so lovely to be around and listen to i felt to blessed and excited when she said she would come and sing for the tribe on the Solstice. Thank you.

hugs and many summer blessings,

Summer Solstice...

So i have been thinking lately about summer..and weirdly to me summer is the non-thinking season. It's the do season. Truly living the moment. I reflect back to well as far back as i can reflect and summer's were pure bliss. I grew up on Long Island, NY and we would drive to the beach my mom would pack and pack endlessly of stuff. Though i know that now because i do it when we head out for the day but i never realized what it all intailed but i do now. It was wonderful, nature and outdoors for my mom was everything and we got to enjoy all of it with her. I am so grateful for that. As i got older I remember sitting outside in the evening time and just embracing the evening air, thinking of the day and yea, getting ready for tomorrow.



Summer is so abundant! The full Trees so strong and the Willow Trees gently swaying and right now the sweet smell of their flowers. Flowers, flowers everywhere flowers just bits of colour all around. There is also something to the early summer and the later summer that is treasurable. The funny thing summer isn't my favourite season if i had to choose one but it definetly is strong. The sun makes it full of life and starts the cycle for the plants, animals and bugs and all that stuff.


So tribe enjoy these wonderful months given to us to be outside bask in the sun. Enjoy the evenings under the stars with the moon. Get wet, get dirty, go to bed smelling full of fresh air, go camping, hiking, put your feet in the cool running streams, be barefoot, feel the grass, lie and smell mother earth, smile, be kind, live life, be free and MAKE MEMORIES....

Looking forward to sharing this beautiful summer with you all!!

hugs,
