WEEK 2: The Chaos of “Almost Summer” | Stop & Smell the Damn Flowers Series

“Stop & Smell the Damn Flowers” - Because life isn’t waiting for you to slow down… but you can choose to.

WEEK 2: The Chaos of “Almost Summer”

This time of year can be sneaky.

School events.
Fundraisers.

Graduation parties
Sports schedules.
Planting flowers.
Cleaning the patio furniiture as you come out of hibernation.

Woodchips.

It’s a lot.

And somewhere in all of that…
you forget to actually live in it.

You rush past the lilacs blooming. They come and go so quickly.
You half-listen at your kid’s event while checking your phone.
You sit on your patio… but your brain is still inside your to-do list.

So here’s your May reminder:
Presence isn’t found in free time.
It’s found in chosen moments.

Drink your coffee outside, even if it’s a minute.
Watch the game… not just record it.
Sit in the chair and be completely there.

You didn’t do all this work to rush through it.

✨ MAY MANTRA
“I don’t rush past my life.
I pause. I feel. I receive the good.”
