Summer vibes of 2025

Despite the fact that these days time is running faster than ever, the summer of 2025 presents a unique opportunity to reflect on the enduring significance of this season as a catalyst for personal growth, productivity and renewal.

In fairly simple and practical terms, I truly believe that summer embodies an intersection of extended daylight, increased warmth and social dynamism, all of which can be leveraged to foster mental clarity and sustained motivation.

We all know that the essence of summer lies not merely in its climatic characteristics, but rather in its positive impact on human behavior and cognition.
Many empirical studies indicate that exposure to natural light and moderate temperatures correlates strongly with improved mood and better cognitive function, enabling individuals to capitalize on the season’s energy to pursue both professional and personal objectives.

In 2025, as societies continue to navigate through complex global challenges, the summer season invites a purposeful engagement with its implicit possibilities: an open canvas for intellectual exploration, creative endeavors and meaningful connections. Without any doubt, the extended daylight hours serve as a literal and metaphorical illumination, encouraging the cultivation of resilience and the pursuit of goals with renewed vigor.

Therefore, dear ones, I encourage you to regard summer as a temporal space for intentional action, where the warmth and light provide not only comfort, but also a tangible foundation for growth…embracing this season with sincerity and focus can lead to enduring advancements, both individually and collectively, in the unfolding year. May your summer be illuminated not only by sunshine, but also by insight, compassion and transformative engagement!

“In the warmth of the sun, every moment becomes a memory.”

July 1, 2025: CANADA Day

On Canada Day (each year on July 1^st), we pause to reflect not only on our history, but on the values that continue to shape our collective identity: inclusion, resilience and a commitment to progress.

From the ancestral knowledge of the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded these lands for millennia, to the aspirations of newcomers building futures in cities and communities across the country, Canada's strength lies in its diversity. It is in the tireless work of educators, healthcare workers, scientists, artists and everyday citizens who strive to build a more just, sustainable and united society.

Today is not only a celebration of past achievements, but also a call to action – a friendly reminder that citizenship demands courage, empathy and engagement. 
We are stewards of a nation still growing into its full promise and the choices we make together will shape the next chapter.

May this Canada Day renew our shared purpose and inspire us to build a future worthy of our highest ideals!

● National Anthem: “O Canada” – audio  

● Historic background info:

On July 1, 1867, the nation was officially born when the “Constitution Act” joined three provinces into one country: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Canada province, which then split into Ontario and Quebec. However, Canada was not completely independent of England until 1982. The holiday called “Dominion Day” was officially established in 1879, but it wasn't observed by many Canadians, who considered themselves to be British citizens.

“Dominion Day” started to catch on when the 50^th anniversary of the confederation rolled around, in 1917. In 1946, a bill was put forth to rename “Dominion Day”, but arguments in the House of Commons over what to call the holiday stalled the bill.

The 100^th anniversary of the nation's official creation in 1967 saw the growth of the spirit of Canadian patriotism, and “Dominion Day” celebrations really began to take off. Although quite a few Canadians already called the holiday “Canada Day” (“Fête du Canada”), the new name wasn't formally adopted until October of 1982.
