The moon this month is called the Thunder or Buck moon. It's a time where nature gives bucks the beginnings of their horns. It's called Thunder moon due to the increase in thunder storms in some places around this world of ours. In Nassau for instance, the forecast calls for thunder almost all week long! If I was going to endure heat, Nassau would be the place to do it. White sandy beaches, clear waters, and warm rain. My vacation there was one of the greatest times in my life. Bring on the thunder storms and the Thunder moon! It happens on July 3rd this month.. just before the holiday. Mother nature is amazing!
The Thunder moon is a time where energy is best used to find and define meaning in your life. It's a great time for dreamwork and all forms of divination are favored. So, break out your dream powder if you got it and go to work! What do you dream about? Sandy beaches and Bahama thunder storms? Watching your spawn grow and define themselves? Perhaps defining meaning or value in your every day? Whatever it is.. focus and achieve it! You can do it! Challenge makes us reach for more than what we are. Questioning the norm is how we discover new things and how we evolve as a species.
Speaking of evolving.. I visited the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation last weekend. I have to give a shout out to this organization and their plan to better the world. It's amazing what we can do when we put our minds to something. One world, one people- I love their message. If you are ever in the Seattle area, this display is a must see! It's located right across from the Seattle Center and is free for all!
From last weekend, to the weekend leading into July was a great one for me! The Seattle Big Wheel opened this weekend and me and SBF went for a ride. I always really enjoy our outings in Seattle. We walk along the pier, see what's new in Pike Place, and enjoy our time together with a smile. The Big Wheel was a welcomed addition to our favorite past time. I'm not sure there would be another occasion for riding the wheel but I'm glad we got be some of the first to check it out.
We also had the opportunity to support Seattle Firefighters while participating in an underwear run. That's right.. underwear run! Fireman, runners..underwear. What could be better? It was a great time for a good cause and a justified reason to run in skivvies in Seattle. Although I didn't actually run, I held my usual role of support, pack mule and chauffeur for the event. We ended up getting to the run about three hours early. I'm not sure what happened there, but it gave SBF time to get his drink on and work up the nerve to remove his clothing hehe. We even found $6 early bird parking whoop whoop! So not entirely a bad thing to get to Seattle three hours ahead of schedule.
I'm hoping that the beginning of this month sets the tone for the days to come. For 4th of July, my neighborhood goes firework crazy. As a matter of fact, while I write this, there are fireworks going off outside my window. I'm thinking I will take my kids up to the ice caves during the day Wednesday and make it back home in time for the local show. I will also be spending some time making a cake for my Austin's birthday which is this month. My baby is going to be 8! We will be celebrating by throwing some bowling balls at helpless unsuspecting pins hehe. This is due to happen next weekend which promises to be a busy one! After my baby's birthday party, me and SBF are taking off to check out the King Tut exhibit at the Pacific Science Center followed by dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Toulouse Petite in Queen Anne. I love date night! :)
Following date night weekend, we have another holiday coming up...Bastille day! Bastille day is the celebration of the French storming Bastille prison and the uprising against Louis the 16th. It was the beginning of the French revolution. Last year the minions and I met up with my mom to walk along Pike Place (one of my fav things to do..see above lol) in celebration. We spent the day wandering and enjoying each other's company from the festivities at Seattle Center to the water front. I'm not sure what the plan is for this year but any opportunity to celebrate is a good one!
The last weekend of the month is my next 5k race. I will be walking in the Seafair 5k. I have a soft spot in my heart for Seafair and am happy to be participating in it this year. I grew up in a town that loved boat drags. Hearing the sound of the boats skip across the water reminds me of home. I have volunteered at Seafair in the past but walking along the parade route sounds great to me! The walk will be in the evening, starting at six with a nice downtown route. It looks like I will be doing this race alone (alone in a group of many), but I'm fine with it. It's going to be a nice evening walk in downtown for a good cause. Groovy.
July is going to be a month of exciting weekends! The way summer is intended to be. Now it's just a matter of making it through the pesky work week to get to each one. Piece of cake :)
What are you doing this weekend??
