Make This The Summer of Love
Savor life (and love) this summer.
Summer is a time to kick-back, lighten up and be more carefree. I don’t know about you, but all month I’ve had that wonderful last-day-of-school feeling, which is a combination of relief, new-found freedom and excitement. I’m going with it and letting this recaptured feeling build.
Summer seduces me to live the sensual life and experience all five senses all at the same time whenever possible. That is, smelling sea roses, going barefoot, being lulled by waves’ rhythm, biting into a peach (or popsicle) as its juice explodes down my arms, singing duets with birds, hugging trees, caressing moss, gasping at the beauty of sunsets and symphony of flowers. I’m getting ready to swim in the ocean, lakes, lazy rivers, quarries and salt-water pools.
Summer is for love — a time to live in slow motion whenever you can to intentionally take in and connect with your partner with all five senses. You can deepen your connection by seeing your partner in a new way, getting curious, touching and kissing just because you want to, listening by being present (and yes, that means going screen-less, which is the new naked), holding hands, smelling sun-drenched skin and sharing your deepest yearnings.
I’m all in, starting now. How about you?
