Ah, summertime! This is the season that seems filled with activity, growth and consciousness. (With all that light!) This is also an important time to remember how to relax too. Rest a bit.

We enjoyed a restful weekend, visiting my parents at their new home in the high dessert of Northern California. They are ambitiously creating their retirement home on an acre of land. Our time together was restful and enriching!

In this issue of The Art of WellBeing you'll find a few tips for ways to relax and rest in this issue:

• Simple Ideas for Gardening, an interview with Porter Poirier, Landscape Designer
• A Personal Sanctuary, one woman's story of sacred space in a corner of her home
• Healing with Love, ideas for allowing the experience of love to heal and nourish ourselves in body, soul, mind and emotion

Also in this issue, a few FIRSTs:

• For the first time ever, a new workshop: A Home Office that WORKS FOR YOU
• Links to one of my favorite places to shop for objects and music for creating sacred space
• A special request: Accepting your recommendations for Charitable Project Make-Over
  

I've enjoyed hearing from so many of you about your own gratitude -- from last issue. Thank you for sharing with me the people, places and points of view that enliven your sense of gratitude! I'm enriched by your stories.

Enjoy & Be Well!
