Peace Out Peeps! Stay safe and cool. ✨✨

@shoelady,

Thank you for your post. We are a wee bit hot here in OZ.

Have a good evening.

@taci

Those earrings are gorgeous!! That will make a great set with the necklace.

@sheba2011

Such beautiful butterflies!!🦋 Sheba, I am so sorry for your daughter. Coincidentally, my heart is aching, too, as today it is one year that I lost my Jake.😪 Seems like just yesterday but I look at his pictures daily. He will always be alive in my heart.💕 I will say a prayer for her, Diamond and your cousin.🙏

The clouds we had yesterday are called mammatus and are very rare in this area and the fact that this happened at sunset was another phenomenon with the colors. It was all over our local news last night and this morning. They also said it happens more often in the midwest so, yes, I was in Oz. Just breathtaking and I will remember it forever.✨ Your sky pics are always my favorite.🥰

Our temps have lowered after yesterday, high today mid 80s and tomorrow it will only reach 70. That will be a nice break until the middle of next week. Nice and sunny today🌞 with a big breeze pulling in the cooler air. Hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💗🤗

Confidence in Social Situations

If you feel shy or awkward in social situations, know that many others are probably feeling the same way too.

If you’ve ever been to a social gathering where you’ve felt awkward and uncomfortable, chances are you are not alone. While social gatherings can be very enjoyable, especially when we are surrounded by people whose company we enjoy, there are social events that we attend where we sometimes find ourselves wishing we were someplace else. Such occasions can sometimes be the cause of much anxiety and self-consciousness. We may even feel like everyone else is having a good time except for us. Yet the truth is that everyone has felt shy and awkward on occasion. One of the best ways to overcome self-consciousness or get past your feelings of shyness at social gatherings is to focus on the people around you. If you can remember that other people might also be feeling awkward or shy, you might find the thought of speaking to them less intimidating or overwhelming.

The next time there is a social event you feel nervous about attending, you may want to try this exercise: Spend some time with your eyes closed and breathe deeply. When you feel ready, create your own zone of comfort by visualizing yourself surrounded in a warm white light that is protective yet accepting of others. Imagine people at the event being drawn to you because of the open and warm feelings that you are radiating. When you arrive at the event, take a moment to spread this same light of loving acceptance to everyone around you. Smile and greet people warmly. Try going up to someone who is standing alone and introduce yourself. When you radiate acceptance, openness, and receptivity, people can’t help but respond to you in kind.

Focusing on how we can make other people at a social gathering feel at ease can help us forget about our own insecurities. In the process, we end up making the very connections that we seek. The next time you attend a social gathering, invite people to join you in your zone of comfort that you have so lovingly and intentionally created. Let yourself enjoy being encircled in the warmth of their friendships. Amen! ✨✨

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. I hope this will be a great weekend for you. Hey any plans
for Father’s Day? I hired someone to do our lawn and then some that is part of my husband’s
Father’s Day. We will cook outdoors and the patio is just beautiful. Hubby is at work so he
has not seen what I have had done. 😘✨😎

We are in triple digits here in OZ and I am alright with that I do have the A/C on.

Did you make a decision about your necklace? I lost a cousin yesterday to complications
of Covid-19 this cousin lives in Tennessee and had some health issues.

Taci thank you for being here for eight years I am on auto-pilot today one of our daughters
in Georgia lost her fur baby and she is taking it hard. I have been on FaceTime with her
and it will take a minute for her to just calm down. I am grieving too. The fur baby name
was Diamond. ✨😘
