Wisdom Wednesday: "Savor Springtime"

Don't wait for someone to bring you flowers. Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul. ~ Luther Burbank

Spring is the season of hope, new beginnings, growth, rebirth, reawakening, and renewal. Spring reminds us to allow ourselves the space and grace to transition from one season to the next and to stay grounded and rooted in our desires and purposes, no matter how windy or rainy it may be. With the season of spring here, we'd like to share some quotes about this beautiful season, some thoughts on how to savor spring, and a few journal prompts.
