article: Use a bone folder or the top of your nail to get a crisp fold. You can fold individually or in groups, depending on how many pages you have. If you know your page measurements, you don't have to measure. If you don't, or if you're not using a standard page size, make sure you measure precisely. This bookbinding method requires five holes at the crease. They should be equally spread apart, but the spacing between the dots will depend on how large your paper is. For example, if you have a paper that's 8.5 by 11in (22 by 28cm) printer paper, dividing that by five gives you 1.7 inches (4.3cm). An awl is used to pierce small holes in anything from paper to leather to wood. Make sure you're using an awl made for paper. If you don't have an awl, you can use a large needle.

Write an article based on this "Commit to clear, consistent boundaries. Communicate with her only when it's necessary. Put your child's well-being first if you're co-parenting with your ex. Don't use your child as a way to get closer to her."
article: Try to accept the fact that your relationship has ended, and don't mistake friendliness and cooperation for romance. Set clear emotional boundaries for yourself. If she's moved on with someone else and your relationship is obviously over, don't engage in emotional fantasies that you'll get back together. For example, suppose you work together and have to treat each other amicably. Stick to your emotional boundaries, and don't mistake her friendliness for romance. If you have kids together, things might get confusing for them if she acts like the relationships is definitely over, but you act like you're getting back together. If ending contact altogether isn't possible, you should still avoid talking to her unless it's related to work, school, or your kids, if you have any. Stay professional, and try not to talk about your former relationship or any other personal issues. For example, if you're working together on a work or school project, focus on the task at hand. Try to imagine that you're just collaborating with a coworker, not someone with whom you have a personal history. If you're co-parenting, arrange schedules and relay necessary information about your child, and keep your tone objective, professional. Additionally, face-to-face and phone contact might be tough, especially in the early stages of the healing process. Unless it's an emergency or you need a quick answer, it might be wise to stick to emails and texts. When you do talk to her, don't bring up your new life or hers. It can be tempting to brag about what you've been up to or to mine for details about what she's doing, but this won't help you feel better. If you and your ex have a child together, you don't have the luxury of cutting off all contact. Do your best to stay objective and focus on your child's needs. You're allowed to experience anger or grief, but try to compartmentalize these emotions and interact amicably with your ex. For example, express your grief on your own or vent your emotions to trusted loved ones. However, don't talk about your feelings with your child, talk badly about your ex to them, or keep your ex from seeing them if you share custody. If you or your ex cannot keep your emotions out of the custody exchanges, then ask a trusted third party to help you exchange your child and messages between each other. If you have kids together, keep them out of your relationship with your ex. Don't ask them what your ex is doing, who she's seeing, or to relay messages to her. You might have to develop a new relationship with her as a co-parent, but that responsibility falls on the adults involved, not on your child.

From an astronomical point of view, the summer solstice occurs sometime between June 20-21 in the Northern Hemisphere, and December 21-22 in the Southern Hemisphere. Find out exactly when it will take place based on the year and your location, and spend time outdoors to witness the summer solstice. Spend time outdoors in the sun and give thanks for the light that guides our days. Make an altar of light by arranging candles, summer flowers, and tangerines in a beautiful outdoor space. Allow the tangerines to soak up the sun so you can enjoy them later. The summer solstice is a great time to honor the sun. You can make solstice sun tea by adding edible flowers and herbs to a jar filled with water, then leave it out in the sun to steep. You can also make a sun mandala with petals from orange and yellow flowers. Arrange the petals in decorative, circular patterns while maintaining a vision of peace and serenity. Collect flowers from your garden or get some from a garden shop. Choose flowers with thin stems and fragrant blossoms. To make the crown: Take your first flower and gently split the stem in half, about two-thirds of the way up the stem, to create a small hole. The hole should be just large enough to fit a stem through. Take your second flower and stick the stem through the hole you just made. Then split that stem to create a small hole for the next flower stem to fit into. Continue to add more flowers in the same fashion. To finish, create a larger hole that will fit a whole flower through and thread your first flower through the last stem. Trim the ends if needed. . The summer solstice is the perfect time to start a garden. Prepare your soil to receive plants by tilling and mixing in compost or fertilizer. Select plants from your local garden shop, or ask your friends or neighbors for cuttings from their gardens. Then: Dig holes large enough for each plant, and be sure to leave enough space for the plants to grow. Gently place the plants in the holes and fill in the space with dirt or fertilizer. Water the newly planted flowers gently, and enjoy your garden. Go to a local farm in order to appreciate how the sun gives life. Pack a picnic and enjoy the sights and smells. Another great activity to do at a farm is to pick sun-ripened berries. You could also volunteer to pull weeds or help the farmers with their chores. Salute the sun while you wade in the water. Visit a local river, lake, waterfall, or even the beach and enjoy the scenery. Float in the water, swim, or simply sit near it and watch for wildlife. Build a sandcastle, make a rock cairn, or gather wildflowers. Use your senses to explore the nature surrounding you, and take note of sights, smells, sounds, tastes, and touches.
