It is Spring! Flowers are blooming! The rain has stopped (mostly)! Baseball has started. The days are longer. Even in Southern California, we can see the signs of spring. While the signs are much subtler than those who live back east, we still can see different colors and more leaves and know, yes, it is spring!

Why is this important? Spring is a time of re-birth. We see it in nature. The major religions noted that as well. It can be a time of re-birth for us. What do you want to purge as a part of your Spring Cleaning? What do you want to change and do differently as part of your re-birth? Just because you have a pattern of doing something a certain way, does not mean that you are doomed to keep doing it that way. You can change!

Just like we can throw away old clothes that do not suit us any more, so can we ditch old habits! We can change simple things, like drive a different way to work so that we see new things. Or we can try new foods. Or go to a new place. Or meet new people. We can change it up! It is scary, but it is possible!

So! Start your spring cleaning and re-birth today. Get rid of that which does not work and try something new! Who knows where it will take you. But you just might like it! And, as always, enjoy the journey.
