As always, summer is flying by here! In New England the warm and sunshine-y months are treasured, as they are only a small fraction of the year in this part of the world. Despite our limited time to indulge in the summer, I still find myself occasionally complaining about the heat and humidity. Recently, I caught myself in this mindset and decided to pause and re-appreciate the season around me. As I stood outside under the shade of pine trees, I looked up and saw a hawk watching me from the power lines above. It was a humbling and beautiful moment as we looked at each other — he even stayed long enough for me to take a picture! I often find that reading articles for the VOICE give me an opportunity to stop and check myself, similar to my hawk-moment. This month, they remind me that all mantras and lessons (and Masteries) can be powerful in different contexts; that mind, body, and spirit are all of equal importance; that we can overcome the blocks in our professional and personal lives if we take the time to acknowledge them. I hope they are able to shed insight that is just a valuable for you this month! Thank you for reading! Be sure to post your thoughts and responses and don’t feel shy about getting involved in a conversation! Is there something you’d like to see in the VOICE? A particular subject you’d like us to address? Please don’t hesitate to contact us at voice@certifiedcoach.org with comments, questions, event notices, or article contributions. We are always looking for new perspectives and look forward to hearing from you. Best,
