I don’t exactly remember when I realized the sea was calling me. Perhaps it was the children’s story about a toy sailboat that travelled down a river that ended up in the ocean. However, I know now that I need to visit the coast a few times a year to experience the smells, the sounds and the feeling. I believe everyone has a connection in their soul that leads us to adventures. What is yours?

My parents gave us forsythia after we built our house nearly 60 years ago, and 30 years later we received more for the Center. A dozen years ago I transplanted several in hopes of screening off the road. Now it is a colorful hedge. Listening to our positive heart-based goals can help us know when to proceed or not.

As I approached the road to the Orchard, I noticed two deer feeding across from the entrance. One of them was larger than the other and appeared to be expecting. There may be a new fawn as spring progresses. We have a lot of expectations in life, many of them ego driven that never reaching fulfilment. I set my intentions that my expectations come from my heart.

There is an old song, “Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most”. I often think of it when winter does not want to give up, like this year. When life does not live up to my expectations, I know something is guiding me that knows much more than me.

I can still see the snow-covered peak of Mt. Washington. When he was young, my grandson used to call them “the Ice Age”. Some of the snow could last until August. Time and the weather will tell. We have things that hang on in life far longer than we would like. We need to set our intentions for positive results to help them manifest.

I have been waiting for a bunch of daffodils to open for what seems like a month. They have been taking their time, and, with the cold weather I can’t say I blame them. We wait for a lot of things in life that take their time to manifest. When they finally do, it is usually the right time.

Most of our mayflowers have white blossoms, but certain soil conditions produce pink blooms that are my favorites. It is interesting to me to see what people like or dislike, especially relating to colors. For color sensitive people, clothes with certain colors can either brighten up a day or darken it. Being aware might make a difference in your day.

I chuckled on a recent walk when I came upon an excellent deposit of earring material. There was a time when I would have collected the deer scat for someone to use in earrings. That may sound gross, but the world is full of different approaches. It is how we are able to find ways to understand our differences for positive outcomes.
