Spring was so late in coming this year; or perhaps it just felt that way. It's pretty much remained colder then normal and rainy in the Northeast, making the days, although longer, feeling just as gloomy as they were. I'm sure my impatience for warmer weather and sunshine didn't help.
I got up early the other morning and typically do some work on the computer first-and heard, for the first time, SONG. A beautiful bird obviously close to the house decided to let loose and sing his heart out....no doubt he was feeling well, too. And I remembered that Spring is not just a season we arrive at it's also a state of mind. To allow the new in and the old out....it's funny that so many of us are into Spring Cleaning and it's for that very reason, we are READY to allow the new IN and realize it's time to let go of the old, the things that aren't working for us or that haven't been making us happy or serene.
To me Spring is more of a transformation. Anyone that reads my posts from time to time will often see a butterfly; they are "my" sign because they are a literal sign of Transformation. While many people are uncomfortable with change, it's a constant in my life and I love it (most of the time). Springtime reinforces that; plants and flowers are budding and some are blooming (I have one particular tree that blooms for just about a week---I treasure every day of its blooms and it reminds me that it's time to start again).
Feng Shui IS transformation; for my clients and for myself. I learn as much from every one of them as I do from each consultation and we work on things together. Energy changes, things around us change and there is transformation, the very thing we set out to create. I'm actually fortunate that I get to see this all year!
If today was my "start" to Spring (the sun was out, the weather was warm....a perfect Spring day), then I am off to a particularly Auspicious one. And my own Transformation. I went today to speak to my old school about the teaching position they have for Feng Shui for the class. I can't describe the feeling of walking in and the flood of memories that hit but in going over a Feng Shui curriculum for the day, I didn't hesitate not only to accept it, but to feel confident in doing so.
On Tuesday, May 6th I will be teaching in the very place I learned Feng Shui: The Metropolitan Institute of Interior Design in Plainview, Long Island, NY. I'm not quite sure what date Spring started on the calendar but for me, it began today. And I'm filled with nothing but Positive Views for this new adventure!
