Spring Equinox
 

Here comes the sun! The first day of Spring, depending on the solar calendar, can be any day between March 19th - 21st. After months of cold temperatures and dark skies, this season always brings such a bright feeling to our souls. Spring symbolizes new growth and life.  We try to bring that sentiment into this day of transition and think of how we can look at the big and small things in life with fresh eyes. Many people spend this season decluttering and deep cleaning, which can create happy feelings of clarity and accomplishment.
