hola Querid@
I’m sooo excited about the Summer Solstice (in this hemisphere). It feels like a natural cycle has come to a close for me since this Winter.
Over the last six months, I’ve made it both a ritual and a daily practice to face east and receive the light and illumination of the morning sun for at least 10 minutes. So my solstice celebration has been a bit of a daily drip over time. That’s like me, Iol. A daily practice over time has always been my vibe.
Here’s one of the early experiences, a nice little throwback – I think it’s super cute that Maggie’s bells are sprinkled throughout the video. Maggie is my grandcat, who was chillin’ at Buela Bibi’s pad for a bit back then. 🐈
Focus (note to self) You know I follow my flow and that means this thing that’s moving from my fingers through the keyboard onto the screen may glitch and I hope you’re ok with the bumpy ride. My hope is that my writing will get better the more I practice. Just like everything else. Practice is the process.
The purpose of this note is to wish you so much light, illumination and fun in the sun. Here in Texas we’ve been LOVING the rain and cool temperatures. But trust me, I’m bracing for those triple-digit days. It’s also to share this blessing and prayer 🙏🏽
May this season seed an unshakable peace deep in with you
May Mother Mary’s divine presence and guidance nurture you
May this summer give you light
May this summer show you her joy
May this summer deepen your awareness of the constant presence of warmth, support and never ending love that is both within you and sorrounds you

Until we bump into each other again,

We must risk delight. We can do without pleasure, but not delight. Not enjoyment. We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world. To make injustice the only measure of our attention is to praise the Devil.― Jack Gilbert, Refusing Heaven
P.S. It’s interesting to me that even folks who are super close to me sometimes don’t know or realize that I’ve got a book that can accompany you. It’s available wherever books are sold. If you’d like me to mail you an autographed copy, please reply, and we’ll arrange that.
P.S.S On the same note, you do know I have a Podcast, right? A new episode was just published so go take a listen.
It’s available wherever you get your audio fix. Type Dr. Vivian Carrasco in the search bar (or click this link- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/within-with-dr-vivian-carrasco/id961459563) and you and I can go on long walks together. Or as someone told me, they listened to my voice to help them go to sleep. It’s all good, whatever helps. A tu servicio, lol.
P.S.S.S. I made myself a Vara for my 52nd birthday. It’s super cool, I can’t wait to tell you more about it. At the moment, I’m loving that she looks like a miniature maypole. Maybe I’ll share a picture and a little story with you for my next love note. ♥️
