It is now August. The fall clothing catalogs have arrived. The back-to-school sales are on. Even our big heat wave has taken a breather. Whoever decided that August was the start of autumn had it slightly askew, by my book. I'm certainly not knocking being prepared, but it's not quite time to stop the big summer growth spurt just yet. If you're anything like me, you're still doing some expanding. Hey, it is only August, after all. The beach is still beckoning; the bees are still buzzing; the sunlight still lasts until almost 8 o'clock in the evening. It feels to me like not just my heart, but also the hearts of so many amazing people around me, are really blooming wide open this summer. So let's keep celebrating, loving, and softening for at least another 31 days.
