Welcome February

Welcoming February  I hope you have gently flowed into 2023. Winter, a time of rest and hibernation, when nature retreats to build up its reserves for its next cycle of seasons, but sometimes the busyness of life does not allow us time to rest, unless we make choices to do so, not just in winter but throughout the year. February is said to be the last month of winter.  Celebrating Imbolc the midway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.  Also know as ‘Plant the Seeds of Greatness Month’ this annual observation is all about removing the barriers to welcome a new season of growth and abundance.   A time to welcome the returning light and notice signs of spring stirring. “The February sunshine steeps your boughs and tints the buds and swells the leaves within.”~William C. Bryant.
