Do You Have a Favourite Season?
For the longest time, my favourite season was early fall. There was something about the shift from hot, humid summer days to the crisp, cool mornings of autumn that invigorated me.
But this year, I feel a different stirring—an excitement and anticipation with the arrival of spring. Could my favourite season be changing? Is this a Spring Awakening? Or is it simply a deepening appreciation for Mother Nature and the rhythm of her ever-changing cycles?
I wonder—if we slowed down enough and listened, would we hear whispers of guidance from nature herself? Could she be gently nudging us to align our energy with the seasons, encouraging us to flourish, release, and grow.

Embracing the Energy of Release
Lately, I’ve been leaning into release more and more. I’ve reached a stage in life where I’m no longer willing to carry what doesn’t serve me. Perhaps it’s the global shifts we’re all navigating, the wisdom of my Crone years (which I’m loving, by the way!), or simply a natural evolution. Whatever the reason, I welcome it.
What about you? What do you want to grow in your life this year? What seeds of intention have you planted?
As we slowly awaken from winter’s deep slumber, now is the time to move, celebrate, and take those first steps toward turning dreams into reality.
Watering the Seeds of Growth
Spring is the season of renewal, the time to nourish what we wish to grow. And it all begins with how we care for ourselves. The healthier our bodies, the clearer our minds and the more open our spirits. When we feel vibrant and well-rested, we’re more receptive to the wisdom and guidance that surrounds us.
And nothing supports our well-being more than deep, restorative sleep. Good health starts with consistent rest, proper hydration, and nutrient-dense meals. Yet, like so many others, I still struggle with these essentials.
I used to be obsessive about nutrition and exercise, likely a reaction to childhood experiences where meals weren’t always guaranteed, followed by later struggles with anorexia. But my focus has shifted.

"Just as a garden needs sunlight, water, and care to grow, our dreams require attention, patience, and nourishment. What will you do today to water your intentions?"
A Season of Self-Care
This spring, I am planting the seeds of self-care. My priority is to listen to my body and soul—to nourish myself in a sustainable and aligned way.
Routines can feel especially challenging in the spring. With so many distractions and temptations calling us to escape, it's easy to push self-care aside. But instead of avoiding it, I’m choosing to embrace it. I’m filling my calendar with nourishing activities and meaningful practices—and I intend to enjoy each one fully. to
What about you? How will you nurture yourself this season?
Something I am loving is creating beautiful altars. I can go to and reflect, gain inspiration and pause to take a breath.
“Take a moment today to reflect on what you want to cultivate this spring. Write down one small action you can take this week to nurture yourself.”
For many years, I was so caught up in counting calories, tracking protein intake, and sticking to rigid workout routines that I missed out on fully enjoying meals and special occasions. I was so focused on the numbers that I forgot to savor the moments.
Yesterday was my granddaughter's second birthday, and we had the most wonderful time celebrating. I made the cutest cake for her, decorating it with little daisies made from mini Easter eggs. We devoured it—and I had two huge pieces! And you know what? It felt amazing. Because balance is everything, and so is embracing life’s special moments without guilt.
One of the ways I stay connected to life's rhythms is by honouring the cycles of the moon. Every month, I host a full moon ritual to reflect, release, and focus on tackling any blocks that are holding you back.. I’d love for you to join me for our next Full Moon Ritual on March 14 at 4:00 PM EST, live on my YouTube channel.
Let’s embrace the energy of the season together. 🌙✨
