Dear Friends and Readers,
Wow is it gorgeous outside! Hopefully you’ve made time to see the bluebonnets and wildflowers, listen to the mockingbirds sing, smell the wild honeysuckle and blooming jasmine and taste the delicious flavors of spring.
When we are open to receive, life is a grand adventure. We can get pretty closed up after repeated “beatings” by life’s challenges—difficulties, confrontations and the likes—causing us to lose our joy pretty quickly. But a simple shift in awareness can bring blessings and beauty back into focus. Spring is the perfect time of year for an attitude adjustment.
