Summer Solstice Celebrations & Surprise Story Time Special with Astrid & Me
Wishing everyone a blooming heart Summer Solstice today and an illuminating and harmonious Capricorn Full Moon tomorrow!
This will be a short and, at least for me, very sweet share to commemorate some special things that are dear to me.
Summer Solstice is a love-filled portal in my life, as it marks our 4th wedding anniversary (even though we’ve been together for 16 years).
In 2020, Solstice fell right on our wedding day like it does this year and just like it did on Astrid’s adoption anniversary day, seven years ago.
I love that our wedding and her adoption share the same day woven together with golden love and heart connection strings shining brightly like the star that she is!

But in the previous year, now 8 years ago, Solstice fell on the day of sweet angel Joy’s transition to the stars when it also happened to be a Full Moon – 6/21/16.
Full circles and balance are always flowing.
And while this year the Capricorn Full Moon will fall on the 21st again (tomorrow), the energies are potently connected and streaming through this doorway of the Solstice when Cancer season ignites as well – underscoring that harmony and unity.
We’re actually heading out today for anywhere between five days to a week, so I thought I’d leave you with something I’ve been saving until this day to immerse in.
Originally, this was something Astrid and I had wanted to have as a regular series that would have gone up on my YouTube Channel, but of course things unfold as are in divine order.
Our inspiration was to have a Story Time Corner to share special books with everyone.
However, we only got around to reading this one for you.
Because it would have been a series of its own, my amazing editor Kaz started to edit the first installment right after it was recorded. We never fully completed this one, and all subsequent episodes are completely untouched in any way. However, I thought to share what we did have edited with it because it just felt right to embrace the intention that is a beginning and ending all together.
I found it quite interesting that the first book we are reading together here has 9 chapters, Astrid was just about to turn 9 years old, I’m now in a personal 9 year, and 9 is a full cycle number before a new one begins.
These video chapters I’ll be sharing are very dear to my heart and a way to share an intimate part of our connection and journey with others. There’s a possibility I still may upload them to my YouTube Channel to have them all in one, easy-to-find place. For now, I’m feeling I may just share them for our friends and readers here, but will keep you posted if they end up on my Channel to access there. We’ll see how the energy moves me, but if they do end up there I’ll likely replace them here with a link.
They are completely raw, unedited (except for the few fun additions Kaz added to this first one), and done in one take with all human and rabbit bloopers intact. I like this very much, as it’s so in-the-moment, natural, and pure heart-filled like the two of us loved to be.
We felt strongly to have this air today for a Summer Solstice celebration that would act as a renewal portal for greatest heart expansion and abundant love to pour through.

We hope you enjoy the story and that you can feel the immensity of love beaming out. And if you’ve missed seeing Astrid, perhaps this will give you a sweet and nourishing dose of vitamin “A”.
I’m not sure if you’ll be able to see and listen to these videos if you’re receiving this through email, but in case not, please hop on over to the actual post link and all should leap forward well from there. You’ll want to view them in the order they are posted so that the story stays true to its timeline and makes sense.
Watching these just warm my heart and that’s our hope – to warm yours too and to inspire in what ever way the story might touch the light within you.
May you shine your unique frequency brightly and carry the Solstice vitality as your guiding star through life.
Now, pick up a cup of tea, snuggle in, and get ready for Chapter 1, Astrid, and me.
