It is spring, and don’t we all know it. Here in the Santa Cruz area we have had a good deal of rain and every time we think “this is the last of it” along comes another storm. Yes I am grateful for the rain but it is a little unusual to still be having rain in May. The flowers are blooming, the bees are humming and it is that time of the year when it is good to feel alive. One can just feel that new, renewed energy coming forth from Mother Earth. It has been a busy time and big changes have taken place in my life, how about yours?  Are your new seed beginning to germinate and delicate shoots appearing?

I thought I would introduce travel speak as a new blog to write about the trip my husband and I are embarking on.  We have sold and given away all “our stuff” and are now living in an RV and headed out to visit all those beautiful places that one reads about. If you are at all interested, please take a look. Just click on the heading travel speak. I will be starting to write soon.

A brand new year begins again.

So while the earth slumbers, new seeds lie scattered here and there, patiently waiting  for just the right conditions for growth to occur. I love that  image and hopefully we all have our inner seeds waiting just as patiently to manifest. Some might already have begun to sprout, others might take a little longer. I guess it is up to us to decide which ones to foster growth. Our intentions will determine that. I feel very hopeful about this year. I hope we all get the opportunity to do the things we love to do and that give us the most joy. That is certainly one of my seeds.

 What are your seeds for 2010? Is this something you can write about? soemthing you can sing about, something you can draw and paint about? something you can do a collage about. How wonderful if you can find the time to do so, for surely then those seeds will be nourished and nurtured through your love and attention.

And so be it.

Happy New Year!
