It is hard to believe we have reached the sixth month of 2025; however, today we are in fact Welcoming June: a month of Light, Purpose, and Possibility

At the Mustard Seed we are celebrating our 6th Happyversary!!  It was 6 years ago June 1st that we became the little shoppe on the corner of Kingwood & Rhody....and we couldn't be Happier!!  Now, as we step into our 6th year, in these golden days of June, we find ourselves on the threshold of something special. The air is warmer, the days are longer, and the world feels alive with possibility. June is more than the kickoff to summer—it’s an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and reflect on what truly matters.

This is the season of barefoot walks, backyard laughter, and sunlight that seems to linger just for us. It’s a time when memories are made and when small, quiet moments—an early morning breeze, the smell of fresh-cut grass, the twinkle of fireflies—remind us that life’s greatest joys are often the simplest ones.

In my corner of the world, June also carries a deeper meaning. It holds space for remembrance, advocacy, and hope through the Alzheimer’s Association’s Longest Day. On June 20th, the summer solstice and the longest day of the year, people across the world come together to honor those living with Alzheimer’s and other related Dementia and Neurological diseases and to remember those we’ve lost to it. It is my focus in honor of my mom. We wear purple, we share stories, we fundraise, and we raise our voices—not just for awareness, but for change.

Alzheimer’s touches millions of lives, stealing memories, and changing families forever. The Longest Day reminds us that though the journey may be difficult, we are never alone. Each step we take, each dollar we raise, and each act of love is a light pushing back the darkness. It is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of community. So in June at the shoppe, all our proceeds, profit, and Blessings jars will go to The Longest Day.  It’s a fight we will fight, until there is a way to stop this tragedy.

So as we embrace the sunshine and all the beautiful things June brings, and we have a few fun things available at the shoppe; however, let’s also embrace each other. Let’s find meaning in our moments and purpose in our actions. Let’s make this month one of connection, courage, and compassion.

It can start with you.

Whether you're starting a new adventure, honoring a loved one, or simply soaking in the beauty of the month, know this: every day is a chance to make a difference. Every moment is a chance to love more deeply, give more generously, and live more fully.

Here’s to a June filled with light—for ourselves, for our loved ones, and for the world.

Together, we shine brighter. 💜
