It’s that time of the year when the body is slowly easing into the warmer and lighter days. Almost feels like nature all of a sudden decided to go from winter to spring. Yesterday’s darkness transforming into pure sunlight.

I love the in-between moments, when the winds of change stir, but the horizon remains unclear. You smell possibilities, lingering in the air. Be it nature waking up from her slumber, or your own life unfolding in a new direction; these are the moments when a new curiosity begins to bloom.

The uncertainty is often filled with questions; What is to come? Will everything be alright? Even when things are likely to be alright, our minds can still cast shadows of doubt. As surely as flowers find their time to bloom, your path will open as it’s meant to. Just look back at previous moments in your life, when everything turned out well, or better than expected. At times, our only job is to trust.

These so-called ”waiting periods” can easily be regarded as boring, it’s like staring at a blank canvas, pencil just out of reach, eager to begin. However, there is a lesson to be learned during this time. The importance of getting ready, being prepared. Just like you spring clean your home and closet, take time to refresh your mind and thoughts too. Keep what serves you, and let go of the mental clutter. Although we can never be fully prepared of what’s to come, there is always the chance to clear space, and make room for the fresh, the new.

Open the first page of a new journal and start filling it with thoughts, dreams, and ideas you’re ready to see bloom. And then, continue with your day; go to the park, read a book, take a walk in nature. Whatever you do, don’t dwell in your mind. Let the warmth of spring guide you. She will show you how to bloom.
