backyard book picnic (so far really enjoying how to read a poem)
In July, I will:
Drive around downtown until I find that blue wall and then take out my tripod and take a self-portrait or 30.
Eat a lot of watermelon.
Send a letter or two each week (the kind that needs stamps).
Get outside every single day.
Nap.
Read just for fun in the middle of the day.
Take a deep breath when I feel my assumptions rising to the top.
Picnic (often).
Go to a few movies.
Go on a few dates with Jon.
Hug my dad.
Eat more salads filled with the goodness that is summer veggies.
Wear a headscarf or two.
Learn all the words to Gotye’s “Somebody that I Used to Know” so we can sing it loudly on our next road trip.
Make limeade.
Make ice cream.
Play in a fountain with Ellie.
Keep the inspiration for leaning into summer flowing by adding to a growing Pinterest board of good things.
And you? What do you hope to invite into your world next month?
my sacred life in make a list.

My list is for late July & August, as I am in the middle of something that's eating up alot of my time. 3 wks. and it's over!
I will:
-watch the 2012 summer Olympics & Paralympics OBSESSIVELY. (This brings me great joy.)
-go to Whistler to take Viv's YAYOM class in person & fill up my creative well.
-enjoy Whistler with love & best dog in tow.
-go to the lake & beach alot, so Indy can swim
-read something...anything good.
-go to the movies (my fav escape)
-eat off paper plates, so I can have less work to do.
-hang out with my best friend.
-make art (it feels like it's been ages!)
-eat berries & corn.
-go to the farmer's market
-have coffee & dinners al fresco
Sounds like a pretty good list to me:) Wish I lived near you and I would join in on some of your fun!
In July, I will
spend almost a week at the beach with my family (which means I'll stay up too late and laugh with my sisters)
pick raspberries and make jam and any number of other raspberry canned good things
make pickles (if the garden says its time)
try to keep up with my garden
visit the waterfall too cool off when we all get cranky (note to self, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be)
catch up with friends I haven't seen in too long
go away overnight and cook with one of my favorite people to cook with
drink lots of ice coffee
run and write several times a week
eat outside lots
be liberal with the homemade popsicles
try to keep summer simple (the way I want it, but often not how it feels)
what a great writing prompt my friend! Love this and your list sounds like so much fun! I hope you have an absolutely beautiful July creating, writing and watching that precious little girl grow up in her world!
I love your list, I want to do them, too! Sacred life, oh yes, yes, yes. ♥
ah, what a blissful list...sending you big love. xo
