It's SPRING! No really...It is!

Here is what I have been up to in order to ring in the season:

And yes, I know that I am completely ridiculous.

And I am totally ok with it.

How are you ringing in the Spring?

Did you know that you get to create what you want?

Check out my Newsletter to see what I mean...

Happy Spring everyone!

19 Things I Love About (this) Spring!

1. ‘Tis the season of renewal. Winter is hard on the body, mind, and spirit. Spring offers the chance to start again… to re-awaken to your true nature. It’s like, ‘Oh yeah… I forgot how it feels to play outside in the sunshine… it feels GOOD!’

2. Dirt. Earth. Worms. Compost. YES! I love the smell, the texture, the taste (just kidding on the last one – not that there is anything wrong with eating dirt… I know that Trent has a special fondness for straight-from-the -earth garden carrots).

3. Fresh buds on trees. Nothing like it. It’s a freakin’ miracle!

4. Essential Life Series. Shameless plug I know, but check it out. It is going to be something that you WON’T want to miss! I feel humbled and blessed to be a part of such a stellar crew of co-creators!

5. Road biking. Mountain biking. Biking with Chephren. Biking. BIKING! BIKING!!!

6. On that note – playing outside. Even better, playing outside with Chephren.

7. Grass. I love the stuff.

8. Farmer’s Markets

9. The first robin of spring! This is as good as the first Canada Geese of spring… Neither are here yet, but they will be soon!

10. Nordegg – back to the bush to keep building the house! I love spending the spring/summer out there!

11. Longer days, shorter nights.

12. Campfires

13. Flip Flops (Shakakan Brent!)

14. Driving with the windows down and playing it LOUD!

15. Spring ski trip – happening next week. Given the current Avi conditions we might end up spending the whole week in the hut but WHATEVER! Yoga mat + books + journal + guitar + drum = I could stay up there for a week and not even ski and I wouldn’t even care!

16. Spring cleaning + windows open in the house… (and having a smaller house to clean than I did last year and the 5 years before that!)

17. Watching Cheph splash in the puddles (in his bright yellow rain suit and rubber boots of course!)

18. Spring flowers

19. Hay House Conference in Vancouver – headed there with my mom. Should make for a lovely weekend!

What do you love about spring?

I'm with the potatoes on this one...

Who needs a dirt when you have a pail?

So, my potatoes are under the impression that it is spring... I guess this means that my cold room isn't quite 'cold' enough!  They aren't rotting or anything, just growing roots.  I guess that's why they call it a 'root cellar' (yuck yuck).  Oh man, can you tell by my REALLY bad jokes that I am so badly in need of spring to be here.  Me and the potatoes, we are ONE.

Scream if you're losing it... 1, 2, 3... AHHHHHHHHHHHH!   Whew, only this many days, minutes, hours, seconds until spring:

Which, of course, in my neck of the woods, means approximately only 4 more months of possible snow storms...  maybe I should change that to a summer counter...

Yours crazy,

Marebare
