Greetings to all my precious people!!
We are in the midst of restore and release, aligning our focus to Spring – the time of renewal. Are you feeling the energetics yet? The urge to purge, the desire to rearrange things, the need to finally tend to the stuff that has been piling up in the land of “someday.” Many times these prompts for change are signaled by the body speaking its language with emotions and physical sensations that beg to be acknowledged.
