My Beloved, there’s nothing like a tall, ice cold glass of lemonade in summer! The tangy yet sweet taste of lemons coupled with just the right amount sugar, makes for a delicious and refreshing summer beverage! The process, however, of making fresh squeezed lemonade is not as refreshing as the end results! Squeezing, applying pressure and straining lemon after lemon eventually becomes quite exhausting! Trust me, I know! I'm telling you from personal experience! I’ve squeezed, applied pressure to and strained so many lemons this year, I’m surprised my hands are not yellow with a permanent lemony fresh scent!

It’s amazing what can transpired in a matter of a few months! And just think, the year is only half way over! The first part of this year has been rough! I feel like I’ve been caught in a whirlwind that just won’t stop spinning! It’s crazy how long a few months can feel! In the grand scheme of life, a few months is but a short moment of the meantime. But that meantime, can be a muthafvcka! So, how do you survive the meantime? You make lemonade and you dance! In others My Beloved, like the age old adage says: "when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade!" I just added the dance part because dancing releases stress, tones up the body and feels so damn good! And besides, you might as well look good while your navigating the meantime...right?

As I drink lemonade and dance myself into summer, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s going to sizzle! From this three digit Vegas heat to all the new exciting adventures and people I’m sure to meet!, this summer will be HOT! My Beloved, I sure hope your summer sizzles! Just keep in mind as you embark on your summer adventure, it may get hot in the meantime! But when it does, just make yourself a tall, ice cold glass of lemonade to refresh yourself! Is your mouth watering yet? Mines sure is!
