Dry Erase Wall Quotes for June 2022:
The Month of Youthfulness, Joy, and Fertility
Many years before the invention of dry erase paint, the ancient Roman term for June was Junius, a month named after Juno, the deity connected with youth, motherhood, and protection. Her Latin name Iūnō is derived from the root word iuuen, which means “young” and relates to the notion of vibrant energy and fruitfulness. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Summer Solstice happens every year on or near June 21st, the day with the year’s greatest number of daylight hours and the official start of the hectic, fun-filled summer season.
For this reason, the month of June brings with it a sense of lightness, joy, and exhilaration as the earth inclines toward unity, compassion, and increased activity. Coming to Earth in June is positive energy from the sun and the other planets in our solar system that promotes abundance and productivity. Since the month of June also signals the end of the year’s first half, it’s a good time to reflect on the things that you’ve accomplished over the past six months. Have you achieved all the goals you set for yourself at the start of the year? Have you allowed yourself the time to become centered and relaxed in the face of daily pressures, or have you responded in less constructive ways? If you feel you need some encouragement to be more patient and balanced in your day-to-day affairs, posting uplifting or humorous quotes from the collection below on your dry erase wall can help you improve your outlook.
