Spring is also the season of new possibilities.  A reminder of things that might be starting to stir and change within us.  The knowledge that it’s time for a change – even if we don’t quite know what that means – yet.

I found a wonderful quote that captures this mood – it was on one of Hilda Carroll’s ‘thoughts for the week’ (I love the way she puts these out to get us going going again after the weekend).  It’s from the writer Anais Nin:

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

If that sounds like you and you’re ready to take that step forward… or if you just want to take advantage of the power and the energy of the spring-time I am offering a special “spring into summer” tele-coaching package.  It’s a great opportunity to get you moving on your goals, your dreams, your ambitions.  To start tackling the things it’s long since time to clear away. To create the space for possibility and new growth.

Meantime, enjoy the start of May, the long weekend and the joy of watching the trees in blossom.

I was looking for a few words that would express the optimism, the relentlessness, the astonishing redemptive power of the spring.  This quote from Pablo Neruda captures it for me:

"You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming."

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you can find the space to enjoy the arrival of the spring.
