Here we are. The end of June. Summer is in full swing. It may not feel like it is, but it is. Summer has always meant a “break” from the norm, and what we are living through right now is definitely not normal.

I want to break life wide open this Summer, because it's here, and won’t be for long, so let’s enjoy it, and do what feels good and what feels uncomfortable.

Therefore, I have a challenge for all of you to start today:

Write a weekly life-story.

It will be hard.

It may hurt. No, it will hurt, but not for long.

Bruises heal, and scabs fall away, but I believe that ink is the most honest mirror of all, and if there was ever a time for meaningful self-reflection and growth, it is right now.

Plus, there is no pressure to post it. No pressure to share your words with anyone, just a promise to create and pour them onto a page, (actual or virtual), for yourself.

We all can be better, but in order to do that, we need to accept where we are, and then build up and out from there.

Therefore, this Summer I am challenging all of us to write, read, run, share, listen, heal, live, and love yourself and others more and harder than ever.

Who’s with me?

The song and video choice this week is a little odd, but poignant, it is Group Love's, "Ways To Go."
