Spring has finally sprung; the world is full of endless possibilities. Each day the sun rises to bring us growing hopes while each night the moon rises to bring us new dreams. We begin to sprout out of our seeds and break surface to meet a welcoming oasis. Though our stories are all different and unique in their own ways we are all brought about the same way. Out of the winter slumber we arise to evolve into bigger, better versions of ourselves. Over the years our climate conditions change though. Some years it is harder for us to expand out. Harsher weather leads to bigger struggles. It makes our days of warmth and peace more valuable than what they seemed before.
The world is a crazy place right now. We are all in a chaotic struggle to be heard and seen. Through politics, religion and lifestyles we are trying to deepen our roots and intertwine with every other around us. It get's cluttered and starts to overgrow. We can only grow so much until weeding out needs to be done. When the wild flowers overgrow too much you can no longer enjoy the simplistic beauty. It is too overwhelming; it pollutes.
I want a simple, clean bed to expand and grow in. I want to be the single flower that stands tall and effortless. Within my box I want to be surrounded by other flowers strategically placed so we can grow beautifully together, a family that is different but in unison with our environment.
I have really been opening my eyes to the world around me. It feels like the world has been changing drastically within the past few months. There are so many voices around us and all of them are talking at the same time.. It is hard to hear when the words and actions get all cluttered together. I have really been trying to find a peace to my days and not let the chaos and stress of it all take over. It has been challenging, and I have still yet to master the craft of zen. But I am working hard to close out the negative and breathe in the positive. I am teaching myself to tune down the voices that don't matter..
Recently I have been trying to make it to Church every Sunday and pray more often. The discipline of it all has been rewarding. Lately, when I pray, I have been making it a point to start off by focusing on the blessings and giving thanks for what I have before asking for help and guidance. It is helping me add more positivity and light into my days. God is love.. and though life can be hard it all comes down to the sacrifice that was made and the power of the Spirit working within us through Christ our Lord. This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine!
To help me with my physical body I have taken up yoga. I am absolutely hooked on the practice right now. In this first month I am more energetic, flexible and calm. I am definitely going to be keeping up with the practice, and I am very excited to see where it takes me both physically and mentally. Namaste!
I am preparing myself this Spring for the busy and exciting summer ahead! This is one of the most important years of my life. I want to make the best of it! :) Let these Spring showers pour and bring me beautiful flowers of joy.
