Welcome to Summer!

Technically, it's still May, so I've gotten this one under the wire, but things are heating up!

I often feel a lot of frenetic energy around this time of year. Suddenly, it seems that a million things are happening, and I feel like I walked into class late and am trying to catch up. I need to make a conscious effort to focus on what is important to me, and not get distracted by the energy of the season, buzzing like a ravenous spring bee looking for nectar.

This is where working with clay helps me. It's grounding to squeeze, press, and mold something so connected to the earth. It's centering to focus on the piece and let the rest of what is flitting around in my mind get quiet and fall away. When I take that time to work with clay, I find myself more easily focused on what else I need to do without as much anxiety and stress.

That said, I am keeping this one short and informative!

How do you ground and center yourself with all that is happening this season? I know it's a busy season. Consider making your time with clay YOUR time to settle and focus!

Much love,

Jane
