Every year… at exactly the same time frame (early March) two dove’s appear in my front yard. I can hear them each morning…cooing… and it is their sweet song that has become my natural alarm clock.

These two birds also signal to me… the renewing energy of this season… I can begin again… start over… and try new and different ways of living my life.

Each day… I am doing small tasks of my Spring cleaning… wiping away the dust that has claimed a home on my furniture during the Winter months of having the central heat on. I like to imagine as I wipe away a layer of dust… I am wiping clean… unwanted energies from my mind and spirit… or letting go of inner ” stuff ” that no longer fits who I am right now.

Spring cleaning is therapy… and I look forward to this ritual each and every Spring cycle.

The longer I live… the more I crave the simple life… and so later this week… I will pick up some herbs to grow on my patio… and purchase some tomato plants to plant… and try my gardening skills at growing lettuce. I love the whole feeling of being resourceful… and growing my own veggies… not just to eat… but to return and embrace the land herself.

I will keep you all posted on my progress with my veggie growing… and in the mean time… let the sweet sound of the bird’s song… up lift your spirit… and get you going on your journey this Spring cycle… of inner renewal and the joy of being alive!
