Spring Time Greetings

"Don't wait for someone to bring you flowers. Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul."
--Luther Burbank

"Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat."
--Laura Ingalls Wilder



Spring has sprung! The fields have returned to life. Taking the blessings of the sky, rain and sun, the flowers return and the animals sing the ode to life. The return of light vibrates into us, bringing us out of the winter hibernation and into action, for ourselves and for our world. Now is the time to grow yourself. Take those ideas that you have slept on and bring them forth into this world. Nourish yourself on the beauty of this world and your self reflection will be as bright as the spring flowers.
