I agree with the TikTok soothsayers – it's going to be a “Fairy Summer,” a perfect antidote to the iron cage of technology that makes us feel time-poor and wrung of wonder. 

June gives us permission, prompts us to reenchant our lives, fuel it with fun: throw a garden party that harkens back to Alice in Wonderland; linger in the burnished glow of the golden hour reminiscing with friends; stretch time and learn its elasticity.  

According to folklore, fairy time barely budges; an evening under a fairy hill equates to decades passed in the human world. Which is how we experience absorbing, flow moments — a great conversation, being lost in creative work, falling in love. Time does behave differently. 

June is Gemini’s month – ruling twins and siblings. Read our greetings, earthing interview with my brother, John Kang, CEO of Earth Therapeutics and learn how he started and sustained the company over 30+ years.

It also rules running, so if you’ve started training for the NY Marathon, you may find inspiration in one of my favorite non-fiction books, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami. 

Here’s to falling in love again – with life. 

Playfully,

x Julia Kang-Reeves / CMO
