I feel like I've come to the other side of something more than just Winter. I spent February resting as per my list of monthly focus topics. It was beautiful to release all pressure on myself.

Self-Discipline.
I've struggled with routine and self-discipline for much of my life. I was often reminded of it by the people around me. Lazy. Absent-minded. Forgetful. Scatter-brained. Irresponsible. Undisciplined. At the end of the day undisciplined is probably the best descriptor of what was going on. Discipline for me evokes ideas of tasks that are militant, … Continue reading Self-Discipline.

Ground.
The snow is receding and the grass is starting to grow and green. I'm excited. Last year I really tired to get into the habit of allowing my skin to touch the Earth. Have you ever considered how much we insulate ourselves from exposure to any elements? We wear shoes everywhere. We wear warm jackets … Continue reading Ground.
Spring.
Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal. In the past I have not gotten on board with Spring and the promise of new growth and new opportunity.
