June is the beginning of summer and the heat will be welcomed, especially for those of us in New England.
Wikipedia says, "June is known for the large number of marriages that occur over the course of the month. According to one etymology, June is named after Juno (Hera). Juno was the goddess of marriage and a married couple's household, so some consider it good luck to be married in this month."
Whatever your relationship status is, enjoy June, the beginning of summer, watch the sun, but have fun!

The Power of Kindness
There are many stories, articles, and books written about good deeds, kindness, and connection with others.
I have been blessed with many kind friends with whom I can share and enjoy my life with. I recently had a friend over for dinner and noted how attentive she was to what I was saying. She stayed with my explanations and visibly showed her care and love. As she was leaving I thanked her more than once for her kindness, being there for me, listening, caring, and truly sharing in my joy.
This kind of connection with others is so important and something most of us need and want in our lives. When we get derailed somewhere in our relationships, it's through our miscommunications, silence, not expressing our
needs and feelings, not reaching out, and our fear of getting to close. Kindness and positive connection is both a gift and needed for sustenance. When we seek rich, full, and kind relationships, we are setting that example out in the world.
In a story in my book Pathfinding, told by my late father, he recognized kindness
from a stranger which stayed in his memory throughout his life:
"In the mid-30's when I was in college, jobs were hard to find. One summer I was lucky to get a Saturday morning job from 6:00 a.m. to noon unloading banana boats in Boston. My first assignment involved carrying what they called 'a stalk of bananas' from the hold of the ship up vertical steps to the processing area offshore.
The stalks were trimmed into bands for the bananas to be packaged for shipping. The weight of each stalk varied from forty to eighty pounds. They hung from the ceiling of the ship's hold in rows. Each of us would wear a rubber shoulder apron and stand beneath the next stalk. The man standing there would cut the string holding the stalk and it would drop onto your shoulder. Then burdened with the heavy stalk, you'd walk up the stairs to the processing areas.
It was backbreaking work. But I'll never forget the time it was my luck, or misfortune, to stand under an oversized stalk. I had difficulty carrying that load up the steps. I didn't think I would make it. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a hand took me by the seat of my pants and pushed me up the ladder until I could gain my balance and carry the load to the processing room. When I turned around to see who had given me that wonderful helpful hand, I looked directly into the face of a huge African-American man. At the time he had pushed me up the ladder, he was carrying his own load. I'll never forget the kind look on his face. It taught me to appreciate kindness wherever and from whomever I find it."
