I have discovered a new freedom of being, and it feels quite fantastic. It seemed to come suddenly, but I know that the elements of it have been at work for quite awhile. This is the beginning of something magical.

Celebrating what is right in our every day is a great way to enjoy life in every moment. This month I will practice this even more!

The warm weather is slow to arrive here, and some days I find my thoughts and actions equally slow, but not in a bad way! I am learning more and more about the beauty and power of slow, and it turns out, it works very well for me.

Sometimes I feel as slow to emerge as this spring has been. Yet I know that all things emerge in their proper time and way. I must be patient and just keep showing up. This is the best thing for me to do!

There are so many changes … seasons, locations, world, personal … and it is important to recognize and honour them all, even in some small way!

Finding joy in colouring on black paper is hard to describe. It’s as if I have discovered a previously undiscovered land.

In all the years I have been a graphic designer, and even before that, as a child who doodled on everything, I don’t think I have ever drawn on windows. Well, I have now, and it’s quite a lot of fun. This drawing on the window however, started out as purely practical.

This spring is different in so many ways … there is the natural shift that happens as things emerge, and there is all the unexpected life shifts that seem to be happening as part of the larger picture of our times. All fascinating, and all need to be recognized for their importance and impact in our lives!

Just as the plants are finding their way back to life, we are finding our way back to connecting, in person, with real people. Turns out it’s kinda funny … if you look at it that way. It’s as if we are new to this planet and getting to know the local customs and ways. It will get easier I’m sure, but right now, it can feel all a bit awkward.

Every day brings a new introduction to something in our new home. This is one of our new neighbours. We also have an unbelievable number of birds that come at various times of the day. Getting used to life in the country is certainly new, but we are enjoying it tremendously!
