Feeling Inspired by Blue Skies as I Transition to Summer in My June Bullet Journal
Looking for Blue Skies
On Monday this past week, I walked outside to let the dog out and stretch and was met with the following scene: the clearest blue sky, bright sunbeams, fresh morning air at the just-right temperature, birds chirping, and leaves fluttering. The grass beneath my feet was almost glowing. It was the kind of morning that makes you feel alive and ready to face the day. And what a time right now to need to feel alive. I have found myself looking for the “blue skies” in everything right now. Seeking positivity in the people and places around me.
With the murder of George Floyd on May 25, and the protests following the outcry in response to his murder, Breonna Taylor’s murder on March 13, Ahmaud Arbery’s murder on February 23, and countless others, the days of the first week of June have blurred together. The time has been spent watching the news, talking to friends and colleagues, and seeking answers within myself and the world around me. Black lives matter. As an educator, the fight within our classrooms to hold discussions, talk about books and resources, secure funding for materials, and to help facilitate conversations on the district-level have always been a continual journey. The journey continues. I am hoping with relentless action and voice, teachers can help make the changes needed in our country and classrooms.
In the month of June, I am holding on to blue skies to ground me where I am in the present moment. The here and now. This post contains all of my layouts-include monthly and weekly spreads-for the month of June.
