EARTHJOY celebrates EARTH DAY!!
Greetings!

This is what I know for sure. This past month, low energy things happened in our life we had no control over. At the same time we were getting swarmed with loads of climbers and we were working overtime! I went into overwhelm, stress and frustration. So guess what happened? This low energy frequency went out and I got it back with several unexpected cancelations, the emails and phone stopped ringing.
 
I decided to take a few days off just to totally unplug. I slowly began to regain my lost energy. It took a few days of journaling, retreating, and just playing! Then something wonderful happened. The phone started ringing again as I WAS PLAYING.
 
You know, that is what we offer YOU. A playground in nature so YOU can totally unwind and wash your worries away! I know I have to be what I want others to receive. So, MY NEW MOTTO!! (Once again restored.) I get paid to PLAY!
 
 We have some fun things happening in honor of Earth Day! On May 1st Dawes Arboretum is hosting EarthJoy, Tree Climbing Ohio and Tree Climbing USA at their site to provide a TASTE of tree climbing. Not only will you get to try tree climbing you can also enjoy their beautiful grounds home to gorgeous Beech Trees! RESTORE AND REJUVENATE!
 
JOY to the World and YOU!!

5 Simple ways to celebrate EarthDay
 
1. Plant a tree or protect one that has sprouted in your yard. Last year one of our maples was diseased. I told Bill to wait to cut her down she was spewing all these baby seedlings. Sure enough this spring I have 10 new babies. They all will not be able to be nurtured to full growth some being so close to the house. Does anyone want a free sugar maple? Just let me know.
 
2. Buy your annual flowers and bask in their beauty. I love my hanging baskets and love nurturing them to full blossom every year!
 
3. Donate to your local Nature center. Cincinnati Nature center is beautiful this time of year. I am actually going tomorrow with my Dad. We will hike the trail where volunteers put small posts up
 
4. identifying key wildflowers. This is such a favorite
past time for me especially the folklore. Did you know that the roots of Spring Beauty are edible and have been claimed to taste like candy? 
 
5. Appreciate yourself. List 5 things you love about yourself for the next 21 days. Notice how it makes you feel. When you love yourself it is easy to love nature and other people.
