And so it begins

Spring! Color, flowers, the smell of mud and dirt and grass and things growing. Cleaning up and clearing out. Opening up. After a long, incubating winter, breathing deep breaths, in and out, full of sunshine and rain and light. Shaking it off, refreshed, lighter, joy filled. Heart open, arms spread wide, standing tall, in the center of it all.

Today I am grateful for...

• Spring weather
• Little white flowers 
• Going on a run (that I've been craving for months)
• Heading to a playground and running into a playgroup of moms and toddlers
• Remembering
• Self-kindness
• Warm showers
• Breakfast made with love from my husband
• Blonde curls
• Sweet compassion
• Trying again

What are you grateful for today?

Links of Joy

I've watched and re-watched these videos this week, and they always leave me with a big grin on my face and a dance to my step. Happy weekend!

Let It Go. Oh Jimmy Fallon and Idina Menzel--you are awesome!

Happy.  Instant dance party.

It passes

It's been one of those weeks when I've felt up and down a few days in a row. And yet, for each down, I always come out the other side feeling lighter, refreshed in some way. Now, I just want to remember that when I'm feeling down!
