It seems we are all finding our groove. Life is full of things to do, but the doing has taken on a comfortable pace, a sense of peace and joy, and just-rightness. I feel like I am moving out smartly at a comfortable pace to create and co-create and be and do, etc. It is all in line with the seasons here in the northern hemisphere. Winter is a time of rest and preparation. Spring is a time of emergence, ramping up to the point of feeling a little overdone. Then summer, as we gingerly begin to approach it now, is a time of sustained fire &#8211; effort in the direction of goals &#8211; it is active, but comfortable and joyous. We have found our summer groove a bit early. And I am more than OK with that. The exciting and somewhat overwhelming ramp up of Spring has let go into a sustained groove that speaks to methodical progress and the impending maturity of vision. It feels wonderful!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>As you find your summer groove, check out this important reminder to re-catalog your needs periodically&#8230;<\/div>\n<div><b>How to Know and Own Your Needs <\/b>(<a href=\"https:\/\/advice.theshineapp.com\/articles\/how-to-know-and-own-your-needs\/\" rev=\"en_rl_none\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/advice.theshineapp.com\/articles\/how-to-know-and-own-your-needs\/<\/a>) &#8211; Supports Stage 3 &#8211; This quick blog post reminds us to let go of what does not serve AND fill it with what does serve.
