Are you melting in this heat?

I enjoy summer, but I don’t love week-long heat advisories and we have had two back to back here in Arkansas.

I didn’t have access to swimmable creeks when I was younger (or if I did, I wasn’t aware of them) so I’m excited to live in a place that has several to choose from. Each summer, we pack up some snackies, put on our water shoes, and make our way to the nearby creek to just… exist.

I’ve been in quite a funk the last few weeks because I don’t feel comfortable going outside in this weather, but we made it to the creek this past weekend and it was heavenly.

I showed Taylor some tai-chi moves I learned in college while we were in the water. I would not attempt this again as we moved a lot and didn’t really have solid footholds in the sandy creek bottom 😅

I wrote this meditation when I was daydreaming about the creek in early July and finished it while we were there. I hope it can help you relax a little less sun-cranky.

P.S. I record all of the sounds you hear on my podcast myself, so it’s almost like you went to the creek with me 😀

P.P.S.F. (Post-Post Script Favor):
Would you share one of your favorite episodes with a friend? It would mean the world to me 🤗
