Because that’s what we do, right?

A couple of years ago, I created Ten Ways to Show Up for Others This Summer, an exclusive download for the {a-mazing!} subscribers of this community. And now it’s available here.

Some ideas have been tweaked in light of our nation’s current situation but there’s enough space for us all, masked and unmasked.
What’s your favorite part of summer? Is there a particular way you minister during this season? Do share!
