Summer Solstic

June 20th is the longest day of the year also known as the Summer Solstice.  For our family, the celebration will be simple.

We will rise as the sun's rays begin  to show over the horizon.  We'll sit outside in the quiet of the morning and I will walk my family through a simple, mindful meditation... deep breathing, focusing on a candles flickering flame.

Next, we will work together to make a yummy sun smoothie for breakfast.

That evening will grill corn, pineapples, and burgers.  I'll probably make sunshine eggs as well (aka... deviled eggs).  I'll serve solstice punch to drink.

Before bed, we will read The Sun Egg.  We will thank the sun for all that it provides to us in the ways of nourishment, energy,heat, and light.

That's it!  Simple but meaningful.

Brightest blessings on a happy Solstice.
