June 2022 Let Your Spirit Fly The month of June brings beautiful flowers, delicious fruits, vegetables, and lots of sunshine. It is time to let go of the burdens of past months and begin to unwind for the summer.

Once your mind is at ease, consider how you will spend more time with family…..
Spring Cleaning for the Body, Mind, and Spirit The theme for this month’s Positive Living posts address spring cleaning for the body, mind, and spirit. Each season has its own meaning and spring is a perfect time to reflect upon what has accumulated in your life during the long cold months of winter.

March 2021 Go with The Flow As the seasons change and the end of winter converges with the first breath of spring in March, the astrological sign of Pieces ascends. This is a water sign represented by two fish and ruled by Neptune. The ocean always comes to mind when I think of Pieces and this month’s theme of Go with The Flow feels appropriate. Just as waves come crashing down, they pick themselves up and rise again. And many…..
