This April month, I invite you to take a new look at what Spring means.

For most of us who are aging, and even some much younger persons, we may have lost the spirit of what Spring really represents.

It was found years ago that the majority of suicides happened in the Spring! Although it might be surprising to most of us, for these lost souls, Springtime meant they had to face their fears of reconnecting with a new growth, a new sap emerging from the center of the earth.

For most of us, Spring brings a new air, a new growth, new leaves, new actions to do to prepare the garden and the natures beauty we want to surround ourselves with. Women are looking for a new wardrobe; a new beauty becomes inspired.

What if we all took a serious look at all the new growth that happens to us on a daily basis?

What if we looked at this new Springtime to do a ritual and become grateful that Mother Earth never forgets to come back, never forgets to create growth, to help all the tiny buds grow into beautiful and magical plants. What if in spite of the age that shows in so many signs, we all took the time to be grateful for the experience, the growth, the wisdom that hides behind those signs.

Even though we do not see growth happening inside a seed until it is way showing its signs of maturing, we are intimately connected to our own inner growth and may not always allow ourselves to connect with it.

What if you became the inner gardener inspired by gratitude and wisdom to become who you really want to be and become?

In My Beauty & My Beast, Mind, Body and PMS, I have written and encouraged women to stop their three and four jobs and take time for themselves.

How many of you take a time each day to simply BE?

I urge you to rekindle Springtime in each day and become totally grateful for each breath of life that is within you and around you.

Have Fun!
