Wow, it is June already!  The sun encourages so much growth in nature. I love my garden, a little warmth sparks beautiful flowers, with their vibrant color and amazing scents. Have you ever taken time just to hang out in a garden or in the forest? How did it make you feel? Taking the time to just be, can take you into a whole other time and space helping you to develop clarity in your day-to-day tasks. This is a form of meditation of its own.

Father’s Day is June 16, a time to appreciate dad. For the men out there it is time to pay attention to your health, and all year long as it is in your best interest. June is Prostate Awareness month and it is important for you to be both proactive and preventative in your actions so that your loved ones can enjoy your company for years.

Did you know that prostate cancer is on the rise? Yes, it is often slow growing; however, it is the leading cause of cancer in men.  The medical profession is now recommending men over 40 be checked regularly.  Often a man can appear symptom free and doesn’t notice until it has spread to other areas of the body. It could also be one of those things a person doesn’t want to deal with and finds it is easier to avoid until it is serious and limited treatment options are available. This is not a time to be shy!
