										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Let the Sunshine In &#8211; Get Inspiration from Spring!</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Embracing Spring&#8217;s Renewal </strong></h3>
<p>Hello, beautiful Saturday souls! As we bask in the energy of the first day of Spring and this absolutely fabulous day, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of celebration. It&#8217;s not just about the blooming flowers or the warming sun; it&#8217;s about embracing the essence of new beginnings and the boundless potential that lies ahead.</p>
<p>Spring arrives, bringing with it a cascade of festivities like Nowruz, Easter and Passover, offering us opportunities to rejoice in the beauty of life, the comfort of hope, and the anticipation of prosperity. These occasions teach us profound lessons in forgiveness and rebirth, reminding us to cherish the love that weaves through and connects our lives.</p>
<p>Today, I find myself immersed in contemplation, welcoming a fresh awareness of my being and a renewed dedication to my craft. What will I do next? Where will my creativity take me this year? How can I give more, love more? I too am embracing forgiveness, faith, hope and love &#8211; as these things create the foundation of our humanity and connects us, infusing our lives with beauty.</p>
<p>My wish for each of you is a profound inner awareness, illuminating the magnificent human being that you are. May you find hope that transcends your circumstances, and may you recognize the depth of real love.</p>
<p>While we hustle and go about our busy daily life, I urge you to pause, to breathe, and to revel in the essence of Spring blooming IN and AROUND you. Let go of the past, and allow this present moment to guide you. Open your heart so that your light can shine, and allow your authentic self to ignite the world you live in with joy.</p>
<p>And speaking of sunshine, I couldn&#8217;t resist sharing this uplifting song with you all. Let&#8217;s groove to the rhythm of &#8220;<em>Aquarius &#8211; Let the Sunshine In</em>&#8221; (1969 style!) as we embrace love and peace in our hearts.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every year as the ground slowly awakens to Spring, the birds emerge with their songs boasting their comeliness, inviting their potential mate with a whistle, and defending their realm with a rant .  Here is an ode to these little creatures and the songs they sing to each other&#8230;</p>
<h2>
<strong>XOXO</strong><br />
<strong>Sandy</strong></p>
<p><b>A Love Song<br />
</b></h2>
<p>Following the harsh tones of winter<br />
Comes a song or two<br />
Delicate as fine lace<br />
Dancing<br />
Skipping across the newly hatched foliage<br />
“I’m right here, right here, right here” he says<br />
She responds,<br />
“Will you, will you, will you?”<br />
“Please please, please please, please”<br />
The tender limbs respond to take them in<br />
Hiding their passion from the wind</p>
<p>© Sandy Hibbard May 2015 &#8211; 2024<b><br />
