Jumping Into June
Posted by Kaileen Elise on June 1st, 2010
It is not good enough for things to be planned – they still have to be done;
for the intention to become a reality, energy has to be launched into operation.
(Walt Kelly)
I’m welcoming June with an open mind and an eager soul. Looking out onto the horizon, I am excited about what lies ahead. Even though I cannot tell the future, I can feel the joy and laughter that summer brings.
This year has continued to fly by and I’m starting to wonder if that’s my own doing. I have made some big decisions, crafted life changes and taken leaps of faith towards the life of my dreams.
In the midst of all this movement, I have lost the sweet stillness of meditation, the strength of daily yoga practice and the comfort of being a part of this loving online community.
In an effort to recapture the mission of this blog, I set out to find the perfect day in May. While my intentions were pure, I have come to realize that the pursuit of perfection may be a distraction from being present. In this moment. Right here.
In June, my goal is to jump into my daily life with excitement, passion and carefree curiosity. To take root in the present, rather than dwelling on the past and planning the future. To be considerate of myself and others. To live mindfully.

It is so good to read your post again. I always enjoy hearing from you. I’ve had quite a bit of that sweet stillness you mentioned in the past few months and it was precious. As I move into June, I am looking forward to spending time with my granddaughter and enjoying the short summer that we do have. I am going into it with a whole differnt perspective than I would have withouthaving experienced the last few monthes. Although I sort of crashed and burned to get here, it was worth it. Balance is such a fine line.
sometimes the ‘perfect’ day just happens as we get on with life
