This weekend I challenge you to go outside and do something that you haven’t done since you were a kid. Maybe host a vegetarian/vegan bonfire for friends and family or take a relaxing bike ride to the local market. Plan an activity that will give you a sense of spring renewal (gardening, roller blading, walking, brewing ice tea). Now that spring is on its way, it’s important to acknowledge it and connect with the transformations that are taking place right before our eyes.

The past few days, I’ve been writing outside at cafes and even right in my backyard just for a change of scenery. Plus, the weather has been in the 70s and 80s, so I figured I should enjoy it while it lasts. Right now the wind is picking up and becoming quite ferocious at times, so I’m sure we’ll get the rain that they have been predicting for us. 

So what are you going to do to celebrate the coming of spring?
