From the Editor's Computer

When we have fixed goals, we are struggling to force things to turn out a certain way. Hence we close ourselves off from seeing what is possible and what else is available to us. We can't see the bigger picture. - Baron Baptiste

It is the May Long Weekend and the unofficial start to the summer season. Summer is a time when we look forward to doing fun things and leaving our usual schedules behind.

What if we use this long weekend as a time to start opening ourselves up to living in a way that is less rigid and more fluid. What if we open ourselves up to what is happening around us and enjoying it - in all its unexpected surprises - rather than forcing our idea of what should be happening onto the events and people in our lives.

What if we live summer-like all year?
