Glow
Do you glow? Do you see others glow?
Collectively, we speak of glowing health, glowing smiles, radiant glow, glimmers of thought, glowing embers, nature’s glow, glowing sunsets and and the glow of the moon.
There is a light within each of us; the light of our spirit. When our spirit light is glowing strong, it is seen and felt by others. Conversely, when the spirit light is dim and barely visible, that too, is noticeable.
We understand the fundamentals required for glowing health. And when we apply them consistently, we reap the reward.
In this frenetic age it feels far more difficult to maintain the fundamentals of spiritual health. spiritual glowing.
Daily physical exercise contributes to our overall health and vitality. Daily spiritual practice does the same.
I invite you to appreciate your daily spiritual practice, and ramp up your spirit glow. The world needs your light!

Heat
In my area we are in the throes of an extended heat wave. It is as prudent to prepare for heat as it is for extreme cold. Following are some tips and guidelines for managing the next several days.
Be aware. Note the hottest days, and the hottest part of the day. Make plans accordingly.
Prepare for power outages and brown outs. If you lose your air conditioning or you don’t have air conditioning, go to the mall, a movie, the library, the beach and/or a favorite swimming hole. If you are staying home, take a cool showers or baths.
Check on elderly relatives and neighbors. The elderly, the sick and small children are most vulnerable to the effects hot weather.
Make sure you are using sun screen on yourself and your children. Wear hats, loose fitting, light colored clothing.
DON’T leave children and pets in enclosed vehicles!
Eat several small, light meals and stay HYDRATED. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
Make sure your garden is well watered. Deep watering is more effective the frequent surface spraying. And don’t forget your houseplants, air conditioning can dry them out quickly.
Slow down. Acquaint yourself with heat-related emergencies.
The gifts of really hot weather are the cool mornings and warm evenings. Enjoy them by taking care of yourself throughout the hottest parts of the day.
I invite you to be ‘heat-smart’ this coming week as you celebrate the Summer Solstice.
