Planting Seeds for Fruitful Year

What if we followed the weather’s cues to design our best lives? In the Northern Hemisphere, if we dedicated our deep winter to restorative rest, warming foods, community, and a time to dream, this means that spring will, naturally, become our yearly rebirth. All of those dreams we’ve had simmering away all winter long can finally break free into little baby sprouts.

So, what has been consuming your thoughts this winter? What needs some shaking up in your life so you’re not spending next winter worrying about the same old stuff? This is your best place to start. When we make a list of the things that aren’t working, we can move ourselves into a mindset of power where we can see the steps towards repair instead of using our most precious resource, time, repeating old mistakes. Be truthful with yourself but kind.

Is your ultimate goal this year to grow food to feed your family? Now’s the time to dig a garden.

Is your dream to buy all of your Christmas gifts with extra cash? What’s that side hustle going to be?

Do you want to end the year feeling connected to your children and happy with yourself? Find a supportive coach or therapist and start taking baby steps now!

If you’d like to eat nourishing meals, how can you step up your game in the kitchen, or how can you outsource the task to someone who loves this work?

Spring reminds us that we have to plant the seeds in order to enjoy the flowers. It delights us with green and pastels (a bit of mud) and the freshness of new life in both flora and fauna. Most preciously, it gives us a spark of energy and the blueprint for forward motion. What are you planting this year?
