Our Ancestors celebrated Summer Solstice because it is the longest day. It is a celebration of the SUN, of planting and the beginning of harvesting strawberries, haying, and bringing in the first offerings of the gardens.
Summer Solstice is the perfect time to work on self healing and to be kind to others. The blessings of light are perfect for this time.

I love colours in Nature, and I believe that Creator ran wild with her paintbrush as this beautiful river was created.
Thanks to my friend Aleda for sending me this great email.
******************************************
The Most Colorful River In The World The river shown in the photographs is the Caristales, which is located near the town of La Macarena in Columbia , South America . The river, world famous for its colourful display, has been called "the river that ran away to paradise", "the most beautiful river in the world" and "the river of five colours". During Colombia 's wet season, the water flows fast and deep, obscuring the bottom of the river and denying the mosses and algae that call the river home the sun that they need. And during the dry season there is not enough water to support the dazzling array of life in the river. But during a brief span between the wet and dry seasons, when the water level is just right, the many varieties of algae and moss bloom in a dazzling display of colors. Blotches of amarillo , blue, green, black, and red - and a thousand shades in between - coat the river. The part of the river where the colourful blooms occur is quite isolated and is not accessible by road. Adventurous tourists can now fly into La Macarena and then make their way to the river site on foot as part of guided tours. The site was effectively closed to tourists for several years because of guerrilla activity in the region along with concerns about the impact of unregulated tourist traffic. However, the site was reopened to visitors in 2009. So far, some 1,000 people have visited Caristales, including around 100 foreign tourists. |

Even as the cycle of life goes on, we often relive the anger that we have felt at earlier points in our life as the cycle of love and anger. The Angels tell us that we now have the power to release this cycle.
First, we need to understand what the simmering resentment is that we feel for a parent, for a friend, or for a co-worker. Remember that resentment is about feeling deep anger and ill will, and feeling it at the level that it first occurred. Resentment takes us back to the first event with that person. Why is this anger stuck? Often, it is stuck because we choose (yes, choice is involved here) not to release our anger.
Second, we need to understand that when we make a choice to suppress something that is important to us, that we give away our power. When we give away our power, we get even angrier, and it is the second anger over riding the first anger that causes “anger” to get stuck. And, being human, instead of recognizing that the problem is within us, we pinpoint the problem as being the other person.
Third, although we may think that the other person knows that we are very angry, and that we resent the ground that they walk on, be assured that most people are so self centered that they have no idea that you are upset. So, you are the one that needs to take the action to change the situation and to get rid of the resentment.
Ask your Angels to help you see the bigger picture. Ask them to help you remember why you were angry in the first place, and then ask them to help you change the outcome of that original situation. Sometimes you can do this by prayer, sometimes by mediation, and sometimes simply by peaceful remembering and re-visioning of that past experience.
Remember to that when you ask for help, always give thanks even if the situation does not seem to resolve the way that you have planned it to end. Sometimes, a bigger miracle is at work in the background.
Go in peace and release your anger.
Many Blessings,
Judy
