Dear Friends,
Spring officially arrived on March 20, 2019 in the Northern Hemisphere! Though she’s not yet fully revealing herself, in the garden there are crocus and daffodils waking up from their long sleep. Some snow birds are singing their greetings as they return from warmer places. Today, April 5, 2019, heralds the start of the zodiac’s year with the New Moon in Aries. It’s an excellent time to set and nurture your soul’s intentions regarding your body/mind/spirit in the next year. Watch the symbols of new life emerging all around you. Contemplate how their messages may illuminate the questions you are holding in your heart these days. Most of all, find Joy in each precious day you are given.
