It’s officially spring.
This week, many cultures celebrated something. There was Hindu new year, Eid, and the Persian new year Nowruz. New beginnings abound. The sky is a pale blue, and I overheard a bird song this morning.
I had lunch with a new friend, this week. It was the first time I had lunch away from my desk in a while. It was good for the soul.
I have been deep in my spring reset, cleaning, donating, washing— doing all the things. Yesterday was another action-packed day.
This week reminded me that we need different. We need to step out of routines and the predictable. We need fresh. We need new. We also need old favorites we haven’t revisited in a while.
The plants, the sunshine, the possibilities— all remind us we are alive. What will you do to celebrate your humanity and nourish your soul, this weekend? How will you begin again?
