| Hello March, the Ides of spring, March Madness, Cabin Fever, St. Patrick’s parades, and the sightings of robins. Sure signs, we are headed towards spring. I’ll admit I have full-on spring fever. Looking out over the backyard where snow and ice still hide, my flowers and pool area aren’t helping this restlessness, I feel. I hear similar restlessness through my clients and when speaking at events. We’re ready for sun, warmth, and movement. This year my annual wandering-wondering trip took me south to Texas and then West to Arizona and then back east across the lower states. LOTS of open roads, small towns, and quiet time to think, ponder, and explore.At the moment I can’t remember where I officially removed all my Minnesota winter gear heading south, I was deep in thought of what might be ahead on the road and in 2020. I noticed a different vibe with people as I interacted with groups at my events. More concern, not as many smiles, and relaxed conversation. People feeling a bit more reserved and serious. Fear was talked about often. I spent time at the Tucson Rock and Gem show, where the entire city turns into a ‘store’ with vendors from all over the world. I connected with many of the global vendors I’ve known for years, who shared their worries of what 2020 might mean. Fears of violence, financial stress, global restrictions, and whispers of a pandemic event. They wanted to ‘know’ what’s happening and why. What do the voices of the wisdom keepers, archangels, and teachers of the universe say about what we are experiencing? Fear seemed to be a common thread. As much as we work on our fears, try to understand them, they quickly become our most significant roadblock. Fear hinders us from expression, sometimes from loving, and most times from living freely. 2020 is going to be a pivot year for many people’s beliefs, processes, and systems that just aren’t working anymore. Evolution means evolving, and that means we move and change with the times, whether we agree or not. We seek truth, and data to substantiate our truth. Truth helps us feel secure, and helps us take perceived risks, while fear prevents us from seeing the possibility. March reminds us to MARCH forward. We’re usually so ready for a change of season we leap forward. This spring also gives us that opportunity to leap forward, literally leaping (Leap-year) from the end of February into March. March is filled with hope we experience good change, but often change doesn’t just happen overnight, and it doesn’t happen without some push back or an undertow of something old that doesn’t want to let go. MARCH forward, it’s a time of freshness, hope, and the belief things can still happen. It’s a time of renewal, therefore a great time to review and renew what you believe, what you think, and what you thought you knew. Design how you want to be, live, love, and experience each day, and don’t let the fear of the unknown stop you. Shine on. Happy Spring! Love to all of you – from the higher dimensions of joy, bliss and continued balance of truthful love. Laurie~ |
