Take this month to reawaken your days, home, and garden. And don’t forget to reawaken and spark spring joy in yourself and those around you this March.
The month to reawaken ~ March’s Loving List. When all lovely things start to reawaken, birds migrate, flowers start pushing through the soil, and if you are a basketball fan, March Madness is here.
“March arrives, the last hurrah of winter and the first whisper of spring. Slowly our spirits reawaken, along with the natural world, from a long winter’s slumber.” is what Sarah Ban Breathnach writes in Simple Abundance.
Here are loving ways to reawaken our spirits from winter’s slumber. Let’s enjoy March for all it offers. Go to March’s Awakening the Spirit eBook for the Loving the Ordinary list, journal prompts, activity pages, and room checklist.
