Happy JUNE! A time for Renewal, Great Expectations and Hopes Realised!

June, the beginning of Summer Months for 2025

Why not make it a prediction for overflowing Blessings, Peace and Love!

Even as the seasons change so can we. We get the opportunity to fine tune our mindsets and chance to renew our expectations.

In other words, we get to hope!

I have heard it said by a few that we should not hold high expectations lest there come about disappointments and therefore sadness.

The truth about these sort of statements is that they are really untrue. For instance, the persons writing are themselves ‘expecting that you the reader, would respond in a certain way, therefore proving that in any case ‘expectation’ is here to stay as long as you are breathing; it is either behind, in front of or by your side. Either way ‘expectation’ is always around.

So, I encourage you today to start by expecting huge amounts of blessings your way, so that if only a scrap comes your way, you would have at least gotten something. This is how to work it….Go for your expectations in a large way. Only know this,  great expectations demands the same great levels of efforts. You cannot simply expect and then go to lie down or sit down like a couch potato all day and expect the thing to appear as if by magic. What effort did you put in? Did it match the level of your expectations?

Set your expectations high, so high, that you hit it out the ball park of your imagination, and stick to it, come what may, see it through, until you stop breathing, by which time you would not have known that the thing you expected did not happen. Live each day in full expectancy of reaching, attaining higher, larger, better, wiser.. and so on.

Expectancy will not hurt you. What hurts is to give up and to give in. But expectations bring in the big guns I call hope, and hope the scriptures says never makes of a person a fool. For it is only a fool who gives in whilst he/she still breathes.

Another thing to note to do with expectations, is that it must not be too confined, or constricted. You cannot hem in the process, you have got to allow room for manoeuvre, for the thing expected. There are many routes in the unseeable sphere, the realm we term the miraculous, here expectations have a party, as it goes to work on behalf of your requests.

Sometimes just as expectation is about to bring about the bounty requested, it sees and feels the doubts and fears, these restrictions constricts, and delays are imminent. At this juncture the persons gives in or gives up, broken, disappointed, and feeling abandoned. And so they blame their expectations never noting the number of times they had dug up their seeds sown in hope, then they replant it not realising that they have now repositioned the timings thereby lost opportunities. And so they dig it up again, and again, and before you know it, frustrated they give up, never learning, and worst, never owning that which they expected. It is more likely that you will succeed in seeing your expectations in your lifetime, if and when your efforts are in harmonious relativity to your expectations. Here I advise, do not give in, do not give up.

In closing off this section, I wish for you a very successful and productive June.  But it is entirely up to you what you desire to have, what experiences you wish to have, and what you wish to express throughout this month. We might well resurge our dreams, take a long vacation from doubts, visit warm bright inner realms where hope beans brightly, where spirits sores, and laughter is the corner stone and  centre pillar of the body temple.

Happy June to you all!

June 2021

June represents the promised season of Summer, its lighter, longer days and dryer weather, ushers in for us a time of joy, laughter, and excitement!

 

At the time of writing it is the 21st day of the month, also known as the beginning of Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. It marks the start of summer in the northern half of the globe when the Sun reaches its highest and northernmost points in the sky occurs, taking longer for it to rise and to set. It is said to be the longest day of the year, and which this year fell on Sunday 20th June which was also Father’s Day. However, depending on the Sun the dates can fluctuate between, 20th, 21st, and 22nd. For example, Summer Solstice next year 2022 is set for Tuesday 21st June.

 

Celebrate Swedish Midsummer from anywhere in the world The 24th of June marks another significant date known as Mid-Summer, the midpoint of the growing season, halfway between planting and harvest.  From olden times this was celebrated with feasting, dancing, singing, and anticipation, especially by growers in preparations for their harvests and the hot summer days to come.  The people of Sweden enjoy at least 15hours of daylight for several weeks. And, in Christendom, it is known as the Feast of Saint John the Baptist celebration of his birthday.  John the Baptist foretold the birth of baby Jesus.

 

The word June has several meanings apart from a month on our Calander. It derives from the Latin word Junius and has roots connected with the Hebrew word Juniper and Junia meaning Daughter of God, and Juno after Roman goddess meaning Queen of Heaven.

 

Some of the many Awareness and Celebrations during June are; 12th World Day Against Child Labour, 17th World Blood Donor Day & World International Combat Desertification and Drought, 19th Sickle Cell Awareness Day, 20th Refugee Awareness Day, 21st Father’s day & World Music  Day.

Blessed Summer Solstice……. | My Moonlit Path.....

Whatever it means for you, may each, take the time to enjoy this radiant season and perhaps see it as the end beginning the next half of the year to exceed our best of the first half. May we make a time to happy our hearts,  drink in the sunshine with appreciation and great gratitude, and brighten our minds with kinder happier thoughts, getting outdoors and enjoying as much of the wide-open spaces as we can.
