Monthly Newsletter                                        April 2017
Dear Patricia, 
April is a beautiful month. The sun begins to shine a little brighter and people can begin to enjoy the warmer weather. It is a time to clean out both your home and your life. Donate things in your home that you never seem to use and that just cause clutter, and remove people or things from your life that only bring negativity. As they say "April showers bring May flowers".

Happy April!

Positively Speaking

Spring Cleaning Inside and Out

Technically, spring is here, but nature has it’s own timetable. We can still get ready as it warms up and we feel true spring coming.  This is the time to clean out the cupboards, wash the curtains and vacuum under the hidden spaces. Spring cleaning represents new growth. As part of this growth, we are cleaning out the old and getting ready for the new. The new can be planting flowers, buying new outdoor furniture, taking up a new hobby or sport, making a new friend, or doing the things you wanted to do, but were not motivated to do in the winter.

When you clean and air out your home, you invite the “new air” in. This is a time to look at what you have with fresh eyes. Think about rearranging the furniture, using what you have in a different way or painting the walls a new color. Pick up a new book, browse the paper for spring events to attend, and be sure to step outside and see how the trees, beach, flowers, and shrubs have changed.

Sarah Ban Breathnach, bestselling author of Simple Abundance and guest on my program, produced a beautiful CD of songs and music titled Simple Abundance (www.simpleabundance.com.) which I encourage you to get. The lyrics in the song “Simplify” are alive in my head as I write this column. They are “I opened up the door today and looked inside my soul •Not sure of the things I’d find •So many boxes stored away •For some brave and rainy day •Full of lost and left behinds…(Chorus) Simplify this house / Straighten out this mess / Open up the windows / Air out my life / Simplify this house / Wash away my pride / Rearrange my heart / And let the light inside.”

So when you think of spring cleaning, what do you want to clean out and what do you want to bring in? Here are some thoughts.  Clean out the cupboards of your house and your mind. Get rid of items you no longer want and need and get rid of the thoughts you no longer want. Concentrate on bringing into your life joy, love, peace-of-mind, safety, comfort, appreciation, abundance, and order.  Before you pick up a broom, vacuum cleaner or dust cloth, go around the house and do an inventory. Then picture how things will look and how you will feel when you have done your spring cleaning. And if you can, picture how you will feel when you have new fresh positive thoughts and attitudes. Freedom can be yours when you clean out the old and bring in the new – for good!  Happy Spring!
