July is when summer gets hot and life sizzles just a little more than usual. Take a break and dream about this month.
Why don’t you take a trip with your Mom?
Just when I thought I knew everything about her, I suddenly learn so much more. Then, I realize that I’m, in fact, learning more about myself. The daily Mom hugs are pretty special too!
PHOTO WENDY HUNGWhy don’t you defy every American stereotype others have of us.
Talk softly in public places, look at the world map once in awhile. They think none of us own passports? Well, prove them wrong and GET ONE!
Why don’t you celebrate 4th of July like a true patriot…
And head over to Washington DC. Scandal may not really be filmed there, but Olivia Pope and Mr. President sure make us suddenly inquire about a city full of…(dare I?)…scandal!
huffingtonpost.comWhy don’t you go to Europe for the summer?
And stroll along Le Seine, browse through boutiques hidden in small alleys, lay out on the beaches in Croatia, or indulge in affordable but heavenly Catalan cuisine in Barcelona.
Why don’t you have a picnic with your friends…
Then lay out under the summer sun until your skin turns gold. Gorgeously gold.
Why don’t you give (not only one) but multiple compliments at cocktail parties?
Don’t be a snoot, it’s the ugliest form to be.
PHOTO WENDY HUNGWhy don’t you drink glasses of rosé, and lots of it.
Only from bottles of Cotes de Provence. Have it chilled, and drink them on a terrace overlooking streets of rustic cobblestones.
Why don’t you take up surfing?
If you’re not already a skater on water.
Why don’t you let go a little.
Forget about rules and goals if they make you anxious. Do the best you can, then let it go to the works of our universe. It’s summer, enjoy the sun!
