All Things New

"Spring has come; making all things new"

Ahhh, spring.  What a beautiful time of year.  A time of newness; new life, new hopes, new dreams.

Even though spring isn't quite here yet, birds are singing, snow is melting and there are even a few buds appearing on the trees.  I can't help but get caught up in nature's contagious anticipation that spring is just around the corner. 

And so is my birthday. 

I will be turning 39 years old later this week. And so, to celebrate, I've written down a few dreams for my new year.

• listen more, speak less
• try yoga (in public- not just the basement of my home!)
• turn a dream into reality- establish Cupcakes for Kids
• learn more about photography and on line journaling
• camp with my kids
• date my hubby
• do one random act of kindness every day
• make my own ice cream (and eat it!)
• "renovate" our outdoor space
• trust more in love
• plan a family vacation
• capture a moment every day in pictures, every few months and collage them
• smile when i don't feel like it
• swim in the ocean

Spring.

May the hope of this new season bring a feeling of newness to your life.
