Nature's unexpected hearts will
appear in the most beautiful form. It
could be a leaf, stone, puddle, plant,
in the sky or even a snake keeping its
distance. But you have to be mindful
of them!
As spring is upon us, it's time to shed the old fickle patterns,
messy mindsets and dirty habits that aren't serving us anymore.
Immerse yourself in nature and take an introspective moment to
listen to your heart. After all, in nature comes clarity. Love is
everywhere and nature gives us subtle hints as proof. You may
even start seeing the universal symbol of love - a heart!
Make this spring all about you. Listen openly to and take
interest in YOU. Jump into your head and see things through
your own eyes. Go for a hike, walk or just sit on a park bench.
Take in a deep breath with the intention that you're about to
create an opportunity where you can introduce a new way of
cultivating a loving environment. Metaphorically nourish
yourself and become reconnected with your own voice.
Follow the path of things that ignite that spark. Surrender to
all things love. Love is everywhere; are you seeing it?
