Of June // 2025 Edition

"There's somethin' about the sunshine..."

It's absolutely wild to think we are almost done with HALF of 2025. I'm not sure where the time is going. My "25 In 25" list is going well but I do need to get back to the books on that list if I want to complete it. "Hope" is a battle. I knew that making it my focus would bring out the struggle and it definitely has. This has been a wild year but I would say mostly good so far. I was expecting this year to be harder, for a variety of reasons, and while those reasons have reared their head and I've had some really rough days, they've stuck to days mostly and this year has been nice (I do have to say post-January). Keep reading because I have a lot of great things planned for June!

I was thinking that there wasn't that much planned for June and then I started typing :) I"m really excited about what is coming up and living a summer looking for hope!

Personal 

• Visit the Botanical Gardens. It's been WAY too long since I've been and I have still not gone in the summer months. To quote the Lion King, "It is time!".
• VBS. I have a ready-made group for life now :) My friends with kids were planning how it would work well before signups even opened! But I'm excited to spend a week with my little friends and honored that their mothers trust me and want me to spend that time with their kids.
• Try to start my "date with myself" days again. Due to the craziness of my May, this did not happen. So we'll try to begin working on this habit this month.
• Lots of time with my nieces and nephews. I'm hoping to have the oldest three come stay with me/us for up to two weeks, but we'll see what ends up happening.
• Birthday party. One of the girls I used to disciple is turning 21 and having a birthday party to celebrate. I don't get to see her much anymore and I'm looking forward to this reason to see her. I'll probably see a few other girls from the group as well.

Business

• New location scouting. Again, May got too busy for this so I bumped it to June.
• Work on July newsletter. I've got another lead on maybe a way to send it out so I need to look into that and write the newsletter.

What do you have planned for June? What are you looking forward to this summer?

I'm curious to know if anyone caught what I was referencing with my title? Let me know in the comments!
