2009 - MY YEAR TO SHINE

I was in Salina, Kansas last week giving a presentation on “Red Shoes/Ruby Slippers – Making Decisions to Get the Life You Want.” The group I presented to was fun and very receptive, and the lunch was delicious! It was a great weekend … starting in Salina with the talk and a grandchild’s birthday and family there and ending in Wichita seeing my Mom and Dad. It was an unusually warm Friday, and then Saturday was cold again like often happens in the Midwest at this time of year. But in both places, little sprouts of green were poking their heads out of the dark, cold ground. SPRING! I don’t know where you live, but the thought of spring getting closer makes my heart take a little leap. And after a midlife divorce, we are all so ready for a new spring to come in our lives! It may feel as if it will never come, but it always does. Always! So look around and see what signs of spring you are seeing or hearing or feeling … in your life and in nature around you. And take heart! The winter is ending and new life is just beginning!

Spring will come more fully in our lives when we get the resources we need to start planting the seeds for a wild colorful new garden of our own!
