A spring in her step

I cannot believe that we are the middle of March! Time really does fly these Days!

St Paddy's Day parade was an amazing experience. I was invited to be on a Float and had the time of my life.
But in her true tempest way, my excitement and joy were ripped away with the new of an unfortunate and senseless death of a 19 year old who jumped off another float in the parade and was crushed by the rig that carried him.

Poignant since I feel spring is all about death and rebirth. Obviously there is the budding of trees and plants pushing through the snow, and the grass is starting to grow! But it is entrenched in our culture as well. You only have to consider the two major holidays that take place at this time, Passover and Easter (forgive me if I am omitting any other religious or cultural holidays) which hold extreme importance in their Faiths. And what are they about? Endings and new beginnings to put it simply.

This year marks a fresh start for me. The end of old Familiar things and the homecoming of my true self. While the last few months have covered a myriad of emotions, I find that I am filled with a certain positive energy as I continue on re-discovering the things that are important to me and make me strive to live a better life.

Spring and all of its transformations are clearly in the air as there is a real mixture of excited nervousness and anticipation for what is to come!

I just wanted to take a moment to wish you all a GREAT spring! I hope you all are able to enjoy this season and the vibrancy that comes with it!

Hopefully we will be in great shape for an amazing summer!
