Midyear Refresh, June & Q2 wrap-up, Twenty 25s in 2025 update, Yoga Wednesdays in August
|
Hello beautiful, Happy August! Part of my midyear refresh process, around the end of June (in the summer, 6 months in, conveniently after my birthday) I like to check in about my annual Stand and declarations. It took all of July to gather my data from the first half of the year and reflect on what was significant to me in that time and what I want to make out of the coming summer and fall. It feels good to be complete! June brought ripe strawberries, the end of a sweet spring in Cologne and in the US, a heat wave, hay fever, relief that a couple critical medical procedures in the family seem to have been successful, end-of-schoolyear, start of the summer, and birthday fests. In this article I wrap up the month of June and Quarter 2 as a whole as related to my own projects, life and events: Read the Jaunty June – 2025 Month 6, Q2 & Midyear Reflection article here My other creations, recommendations, and questions for you are: Listening:

Hello beautiful, Whether you are in a romantic place in life or not, I hope you feel loved in so many ways! I've missed you and feel we have much to catch up on. Self-love, friendship old and new, mentorship, family and chosen family love, I believe it is the most important thing, so it touched my heart to hear the resounding message in Bad Bunny's Superbowl 60 halftime show, among other powerful stories it told. "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." - Bad Bunny Happy Year of the...
Hello beautiful, Happy New Year! I hope you are having a mellow and fulfilling transition into 2026. For me it has been a slow and gentle liminal period of rest, reflection, celebration, starting to plan the year ahead but honoring the rhythms of my personal year, with no hard deadlines. I do like to set intentions and plan events each New Year, but take my time in doing so. Teaching online, in-studio and school, sharing resources on YouTube, articles on the blog, as well as on Social Media...
