Spring is a season which I feel deep resonance with and really enjoy. Creating a sense of intention around this season feels particularly meaningful for me this year. It’s the first Spring in my business and it feels like this is the time to start really creating the roots and early shoots to establish the new things I’m planting.

When we seek out and notice the simple pleasures in our lives we can cultivate a sense of appreciation for the moments and experiences in our everyday. Over time we start to notice even more and feel gratitude for the smallest of moments shaping our days.

The simple things, the glimmers, and the gentle moments of connection to nature can help us to elevate the everyday and increase the feeling of joy in our life.

This week I felt a deep appreciation for the fog. It’s the first week of February and we have been immersed in a cloud of fog for much of the morning. We don’t get a lot of it in the city where I live, so when it arrives it feels a rare moment to savour.

December is a month full of wintery and festive moments to appreciate.

The Winter Solstice on the 21st of December this year marks the moment in our year where we experience the shortest day of the year with the fewest hours of daylight in the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere experience the longest amount of daylight hours for the Summer Solstice. The sun is at its furthest point from the equator and at its maximum angle of tilt from the sun.

For a long time I struggled with the season of winter, especially after the festivities of December were finished and decorations packed up. I wanted to feel better about the winter season and made a conscious choice to seek out the joys of the season to support me.

By adding in new routines and rhythms to the winter months I’ve found different ways to think about and approach the season, helping it feel more restful and restorative but also uplifting. One of those rhythms has been to write a seasonal manifesto.

At this time of year life and work can feel full. I’m always taken by surprise with the fullness of the season, even when I have intentionally planned a smaller more edited list of things to do.

As we move further into Winter I am reminded to take cues from this season to support myself, to notice the spaces, and the wisdom in nature right now.

When we seek out and notice the simple pleasures in our lives we can cultivate a sense of appreciation for the moments and experiences in our everyday. The simple things, the glimmers, and the gentle moments of connection to nature can help us to elevate the everyday and increase the feeling of joy in our life.

November is a wonderful month full of moments to appreciate.
