It’s almost that time… spring, the season of new beginnings, will be here on Saturday, March 20th. In addition to thoroughly cleaning your home, spring cleaning is the perfect time to de-clutter your living space and to open the windows inviting in the fresh air. Let’s take that idea a step further and also look at other areas of our lives that could benefit from some TLC.
Are there personal practices that need a re-fresh (or a re-start) such as your meditation practice, yoga practice, or exercise routine?
Are their relationships that are no longer serving you? Associations with people, places, or things that are draining your energy instead providing you an emotional boost?
Are there daily routines or habits that are taking time away from other pursuits that are in alignment with your higher purpose or life goals?
By eliminating what is not serving you TODAY, you can create space for new opportunities and interests that make your soul sing - just like the birds in spring.
Below is a poem I thought you might enjoy.
“Today” by Billy Collins
If ever there were a spring day so perfect,
so uplifted by a warm intermittent breeze
that it made you want to throw
open all the windows in the house
and unlatch the door to the canary's cage,
indeed, rip the little door from its jamb,
a day when the cool brick paths
and the garden bursting with peonies
seemed so etched in sunlight
that you felt like taking
a hammer to the glass paperweight
on the living room end table,
releasing the inhabitants
from their snow-covered cottage
so they could walk out,
holding hands and squinting
into this larger dome of blue and white,
well, today is just that kind of day.
I hope you all enjoy the magic of the spring season and, as always, if I can be of assistance on your journey, please reach out.
Much love,
Dawn
