HOORAY FOR SUMMER
Summer is the season to nourish our heart energy. Gathering with friends and family and being outdoors is a great way to do this. The warm weather gives us more vitality and more smiles. How lucky are we in Australia that our Christmas and holidays are celebrated in summer meaning we are doing what it is our hearts need the most.
What ever your diary looks like winding down to the end of the year, Boxing day is a time to feel free. Having fun is summers golden rule, dance, laugh, play and love. Be spontaneous, enjoy yourself and your heart will feel full.
