“The spring wakes us, nurtures us and revitalizes us. How often does your spring come? If you are a prisoner of the calendar, it
comes once a year. If you are creating
authentic power, it comes frequently, or very frequently.”
~

I have to admit that I love the exuberance of fresh
starts: a New Year, the beginning of a
new school term, and spring. They give
me an excuse to start anew, and to make changes in my life. The truth is that we don’t need a day on the
calendar or a change in the weather as an excuse to be empowered. It never hurts to draw inspiration wherever we
can, so if budding trees or turning the calendar page can help you, that is great, but I
like the idea of seeing every moment as a chance for change – a chance to live
the life that we imagine. What are we
waiting for? Today is the day to put a
little more spring in our step, to smile a little broader, to focus on what
matters most, to try something new in our teaching, to say the things that need
to be said, to make a bold move, or maybe just to whisper something silently to
ourselves. Spring is almost here, and
while I am excited for the budding trees and singing birds, I want to be
empowered today and every day to live life with passion and mindfulness. Milestones may create an extra inspiration
for change, but every day can be the beginning of spring if we empower
ourselves to think it so!
Happy
Spring!
Mary
