Spring Is Here!

"Spring is nature's way of saying, let's party!" ~ Robin Williams     

​March has arrived, bringing us the first whispers of spring. As we welcome more sunlight and say goodbye to those chilly mornings, the trees once dormant are now popping with new life, and the sleepy hillsides are now a brilliant green, giving way to poppies that seem to call out, "Spring is here, it's time to party!" 

Sipping my morning tea, I came across an article by a photographer who captured the feeling of spring through his photography. His images brought out the way spring makes us feel! By capturing moments of sheer beauty in nature ~ they are so much more than pictures of flowers ~ there is a sense of life happening in this very moment regardless of the many things that continue to pull us away from the beauty in this very moment. I invite you to reflect: What are some of the places and things you love most about spring, and how do they make you feel? 

Together, let's celebrate spring!

May you find JOY as we delight in the beauty of a new season.

And relish the LIGHT bringing balance into our lives as we have equal hours of day and night. 

Seasonal shifts offer us the gift of RENEWAL, the chance to welcome new ideas, to reassess and often redirect our focus through a fresh new lens.

May you seek ADVENTURE with new vigor. Explore a new scenic path, plan a picnic, or make something with your hands.

AWAKEN to the sheer vitality of life! Have you considered trying or learning something new? 

Spring is a time of REBIRTH, providing us with the perfect opportunity to plant seeds of possibility and hope. Although we do not rely on nature as our ancestors once did, nature remains a constant, powerful force and our greatest teacher. Nature shows us there is a time to rest, a time to root, a time to bloom, and the promise that a new day lies ahead. 

As we plant the seeds of possibility and hope, let's give thanks for the beauty of life's cycles and our place within them.
