June is a magical month. With the Summer Solstice on the horizon, you can just feel the energy in the air. The days are longer, the weather is warmer, and the flowers are in full bloom.
I’ve never really considered myself a “warm weather person,” but lately I’ve been trying to live more mindfully—slowing down, tuning in, and appreciating the beauty each season brings.
Finding Beauty in the Everyday
This year, I’ve made it a point to pause more often. I’ve been stopping to admire the vibrant flowers growing in the neighbourhood, sitting outside just to feel the breeze and listen to the birds, and soaking up little moments of stillness.
It’s in those quiet moments that inspiration often flows the most freely.
A Creative Ritual
This slower pace has sparked something new for me at LEK Designs. This journey started with me making crystal stretch bracelets as a way to soothe my anxious mind. They became my anchor during moments of panic, a simple reminder to return to my breath and reconnect with the present and myself.
Even now, I often catch myself gently fiddling with my bracelets when I feel unsettled. They’ve become a small, steady ritual of grounding and mindfulness.
Lately, I’ve been drawn to macrame bracelets. There’s something deeply meditative about knotting each thread with intention. I’ve found such calm in the process— it's become a new way for me to ground myself while creating something beautiful.
Wherever you are, I hope you give yourself permission to move a little slower this month. There is so much magic in the stillness.
