with Natalie caine

Summer sweetness. A woman shared with me that what she wanted to change was being so hard on herself.  I laid out photos.  She chose two, one the sweetness of these nectarines, the other the hydrangeas.  

We wrote, side by side, silently about summer.  Sharing her words that she wished were brilliant, AKA, the pusher, we laughed.  The rest of the session is private.  

What I can tell you is, SUMMER is a shift, again, rolling open a freshness, inviting you to light your load, allow the sunshine on you.

What would help you to play more… a post it by the mirror, saying, OUTSIDE NOW,  a photo,  your shorts and flip flops on the chair prepared for a new day, a basket of peaches from the farmer’s market,  windows wide open?   

Make a plan.  Mark it on your weekly calendar.

Solo or coupled, summer is wide open. Go play. Leave early. Stay late. 

Summer, long light, sweet tastes, and time for you.  What do you think would be fun? 

When I mentored a mother, starting over with a wonderful business idea, her homework on the weekend was to go to a museum and notice what colors she repeated loved looking at that day.  When she got back home, the end of the assignment, was to take her pastels, and colored pencils and only use the colors she was drawn to that day in the museum. 

Share the drawings with me, next session.  WOW, that is all I can reveal for that summer fun day she had with color.   HELLO SUMMER….what stories will you be sharing?

Have fun,
Natalie
