There is something absolutely magical about Springtime. The Earth just comes alive in so many beautiful ways. My 8 year old daughter, Alexxis, had a birthday recently and she was given a wonderful gift of a “Live Butterfly Garden” by one of her friends. Here is the website you can get the kit from in the USA http://www.insectlore.com or 1-800-LIVEBUG.

This “Live Butterfly Garden” came with 5 caterpillars in a closed container with food and their special butterfly house. Within a few days of receiving them, they were in their cocoons and a few days later, they emerged as butterflies.

What a beautiful miracle to experience! We have been enjoying feeding them their sugar water, mums and oranges and soon we will set them free to live their few weeks on Earth to pollenate flowers and fly around being beautiful and doing what they were meant to do!

Although, I live in Arizona where the sun is easily experienced 321 days of the year, I still remember how people were in Wisconsin, where I am from, when Spring and warmer weather came. It was only 55-60 Degrees F outside in the Spring and they were on their motorcycles, in their convertables with the tops down and wearing shorts and T-shirts! Some brave souls would even sun bathe! Here in Arizona, 55-60 Degrees F is considered winter weather!

At any rate, human beings seem to “come alive” with the Earth coming alive and most humans seem to embrace the weather, and the sun in a way that is new and fresh, filled with excitement and exuberance for the beauty outside!

Today I received a wonderful e-mail that I wanted to spread the news about. It is a campaign to “Spread love wherever you go…” and there is a wonderful short movie to view http://www.symphonyoflove.net/whatislove.html. Please go to this link and watch the short movie and share it with others! Remember what you put out comes back to you (Law of Attraction), so if you are spreading love, you are bound to receive it back!

Spring is a time for all creatures to spread their wings and fly, feel joy and be thrilled about all that is new and coming alive! I wish you all much love and joy in your New Beginnings as Spring and the time of the Vernal Equinox has arrived here in the Northern Hemisphere!

If you feel stressed, go outside and play, feel the breeze and the sun. Smell the blossoms, watch the animals, birds and the butterflies emerge!

Enjoy, smile and spread the love!

Happy Spring!
