Ringing in Spring

 

Is there anything quite as re-energizing as a good old-fashioned spring cleaning? Spring is a great time to sweep away the cobwebs, to simplify, to clarify and to make the preparations that both literally and figuratively bring life to blossom.

Here at Tammy Fender, we can imagine that one day the dedicated, consistent care we bring to the delicate spring plantings in our herb garden will be absorbed by the plants and flowers destined to be part of our formulas. But holding that caring inspiration in mind, we can also practice bringing warm attention to all that we do, both for ourselves and for others—and we can revel in the sight of our shoots, roots and tendrils growing strong, full of love. There’s nothing more fundamental.

At this time of year I like to remember that when we care for ourselves in this loving and kind spirit, it radiates, and, ultimately, taking the time to treat ourselves with loving kindness benefits everyone around us. Who knows how far the effects of our care might reach? It’s a wonderful thought.

Let’s ring in spring with a back to basics approach that clears the way for our own brightest blooming!
