Welcome Spring

We have been stuck here for a long time it seems. We have acclimatized to the cold, and gotten used to the ice and darkness. But something different is stirring. The days seem brighter, there is more sunshine and we are waking up. The world is starting to come alive in the most subtle ways. Winter is still on the ground and we could still get more snow, but for right now it is melting which is a sign of change. We haven’t felt this bit of warmth in months so it can only mean one thing, spring is on its way!

Let us live with the seasons as Mother Nature intended. We were not meant to go at it all year long. The next season is arriving in a slow yet timely fashion and we are being nudged to change with it. If we pay attention enough, the seasons always seem to give us time to adjust. We are never just shaken out of our beds; the sun rises a little bit earlier every day, so let’s be gentle on ourselves as we transition the season within us as well.

This is a renewal. From death to life once more and there are some lessons to learn here. Mother Nature has given us our time to rest and recover and now she is gently waking us up to revitalize ourselves once more. In a way it doesn’t make sense to make resolutions and start anew in January as we are still in the dark days of winter, still mending our tired bodies and souls. Spring is the time to ask yourself, how will you start fresh? What will you do differently? How can you make yourself feel alive again? Now is the time to bloom with new intentions.

So go forth into spring. Welcome her back and be grateful for her return. Celebrate life, rebirth, second chances, Mother Nature and the seasons in a way that resonates with you as you start a new season with heartfelt intentions.
