The Summer Solstice

June 21st is the Summer Solstice, the astronomical event when we hit summer and the sun actually appears to reverse direction while reaching its northernmost extreme. The Celebration of the summer has ancient ties and the people believed that the mid-summer plants had miraculous healing powers and picked them on this night. (I read this on Wikipedia).

You might be wondering why I am bringing up the Summer Solstice and it’s correlation to the fertility journey?

Here’s my personal experience. During my first year during our journey, I was no holds barred, GO, GO, GO and it went like this...check out the rest of my article on CNY Fertility!

Flip It and Switch It!

Did you know that “sol" & "stice” are Latin words that mean “sun" & "to stand still”?

Given that both the Summer Solstice and Father’s Day are on June 20th this year I would like to offer a strategy to help change the associations to this day - get moving! Don’t stand still!

Celebrate the longest day of the year with the intention of FUN!

Plan something together which is your partner or husband’s choice, fishing, biking, walking on the beach or in the woods, seeing a movie, or perhaps surprise him with an “out of the ordinary” day!

But whatever you do, shift the focus to that of creating a memory!

Spring Fever!

Spring Fever! I got it bad!

Feeling as though I am not able to concentrate or follow through on tasks. My eyelids are so darn heavy!!!

Don't get me wrong I'm working through the "to-do" list but I have a longing. I stumbled upon this quote from Mark Twain and I think he was talking about me!!! Or perhaps he was talking to you?

“It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!” Mark Twain

Do you feel it too? The beating of your undercover heart’s desires that perhaps are longing for renewal and the promise of the spring cycle? Rebirthing you?

So, I ask you what is your heart aching for?
