BLOG: Live Happy

July

InSuesShoes.com Life + Finance, Publisher's Letter
July 1, 2025

With star-spangled happiness, we welcome the month of JULY–and all the energized enjoyment its arrival delivers.

The heat is on, togetherness with friends + family increases, vacations are plentiful across this beautiful country, and everything just feels more vibrant.

The Fourth of July brings families together to celebrate this nation’s birthday–with festive eats, fun tunes + fireworks to light the skies as well as our souls. It’s a month of productivity, awe + gratefulness. And how lucky are we?

We’re settled into summer routines in July, kids are home from school, we seek out more adventures, and even Fido enjoys more frequent walks + hikes. It’s when we intentionally seek nature even more, we move more, we enjoy good-eats from our gardens, and nature’s beauty fills our hearts to full.

It’s a good life, don’t you think? So let’s keep improving each and every day.

Let’s make plans for the months ahead. Intentionally schedule good times and yes, invite others to join along. Let’s appreciate the relationships that make us smile–and let’s nurture them with intention + appreciation.

In July, let’s ensure we make each day count. And each day, let’s lace up and step outside. Walk a little farther than the day prior. Even if by just a step. Inhale the scents of summer. Hear the bugs singing their sounds. Seek out water + detach from technology for a while. Notice the blue hues of the water. See the many shades of green in the trees, recognize the beauty in each flower along your journeys. Life is beautiful when we look closely. And let’s continually remind ourselves this: our business isn’t finished yet… we’re still here, so let’s make each and every day an adventure. Big wins or challenges that arise, let’s face each with poise, goodness, and confidence. We’ve got this.

Let’s move forward toward goals, and keep our bodies moving. It begins with one step. Stay with us this month. Join the next ToneZone group, take a step outside, lace up, move more, and push your nutritional love for yourself to a higher level. Provide quality nourishment + your body (and mind) will thank you.

Sending loving thoughts to all along this journey with us. Hug yourself + know YOU are your purpose. Absorb goodness. Radiate it to others, and keep loving you. Happy Birthday, America.

Stay with us on www.InSuesShoes.com. We’re happy you’re here.
