Monthly Update
 
This year April asks us to embrace the warming weather and greening outdoors with a more somber, reflective attitude. Solitary woodland walks replace frisbee in the park. Tending to the garden instead of dinner with friends on the patio. Without the allure of social engagements or the pressure of social expectations, we have the opportunity to explore quiet, meaningful moments. Seize them. As unsettling and uncomfortable as things have been (and will continue to be for some time), they are WHAT IS. Don't succumb to solitude.... SURRENDER to it. Utterly. Completely. Deeply. See what quiet gifts await you within the silence.
