Spring is a beautiful time of year to watch the earth re-new itself. Birds welcome the Spring with their beautiful songs, flowers embrace the warm weather by reaching high and blooming towards the sun, the waters rejoice by flowing freely.
Spring is also a time for personal re-birth, a time for re-newing the soul. There are many ways to honor this glorious season without hurting our fragile enviornment.
I discoverd a wonderful company, Green Field Paper Company, who creates tree free cards and other products out of hemp. One of the great things about this company is that their cards are embedded with wildflower seeds, so you can plant the card after you read it and watch the flowers grow.
Find a hiking trail where the flowers are blooming and enjoy the fresh air and serenity. Some areas offer wildflower group hikes (search google for groups in your area).
One of the things I love to do is meditate in nature. I'll go to the beach, or sit in a meadow and encourage stress to leave my body, while welcoming a wave of peace to wash over me.
Visit or volunter at a local animal sanctuary
Pack a picnic and enjoy time with your family
Practice yoga outside
Plant a vegetable garden and enjoy it's bounty
How do you embrace the Spring?
