Beach. Babes. Beer: Choosing This Life

This past weekend was a doozy. Did you feel it?

A New Moon, the Summer Solstice, and a Solar Eclipse packaged tightly into side-by-side days.

If you are one to celebrate Father’s Day (it was Sunday) or International Yoga Day (also Sunday), then you might have been especially busy recognizing and celebrating all of those important things.

At one point this weekend, a friend of mine let it slide that in addition to the above significant dates, Sunday was also “End of the World Day”, according to the Mayan Calendar, as interpreted by counting the dates in the Julian Calendar.

Keeping up? It’s too much.

For me, I chose to turn my attention to friends, nature, and my own mindset.

I kicked off my weekend by giving New Moon Tarot readings to neighbours who have been quarantining with me for what seems like eons.

Saturday morning began with a 6-mile hike with a friend through jungle-y paths to the ocean, followed by another 36 hours of completely vegging out. It was needed.

A few phone calls to brothers who are fathers, and some Q-time with my darling dog Kona, taking her on a rainy Sunday drive through Nicaragua’s lush, muddy countryside wrapped up the weekend.
