“We cannot stop the winter or the summer from coming. We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are. They are gifts from the universe that we cannot refuse. But we can choose what we will contribute to life when each arrives.”

Gary Zukave

 As summer approaches, officially next week, it seems like another opportunity to re-think how I can contribute? Summer is a break from board meetings and much of the service I do throughout the year and sometimes a much-needed one, I must admit.

However, summer brings longer days, a little more time and an opportunity to serve. For me, this summer will be about running a summer program, teaching service to teens and planting the seeds of compassion in our youth.

As we enter into this sunny season, ask yourself what do you choose to contribute to life when the season arrives?
