Recently, I had a dear uncle pass away. Days before and even during his service proceedings, many would ask if I was okay? As I remembered my uncle's life, I was in awe of the fact that he lived. He didn't just exist, but decided the course of his life and when things went in opposite direction of his intention, he would assess the worst case situation-realize he wasn't dealing with that and would for lack of a better term, brush himself off and keep going. What was most important was that he felt like a success, which provided him with energy and motivation to persist and taken on anything he desired.

When I got back from his funeral, it made me consider (like many) if I am living my full potential. I can honestly say I am. The next step is inspiring and encouraging others to do the same. As life comes full circle; EP embraces the Vernal Equinox, the season we refer to as spring. The time of year when we delight in beginning of lengthier days and a second chance for us to keep our 2015, New Year and renewal promises.  This is a second chance for us all to identify a life vision, progress in its direction, deeper introspection and a commitment to working towards all of our aptitudes. The seeds planted of regret, laziness, complacency, depression, negativity, stoicism, that have germinated over the winter must be weeded out and excavated  so new seeds and signs of renewal and hope start to stir within us; the new seeds of change within ourselves can now push through with  new energy we feel. A nous and sense of renewal will gives us the image and inspiration to bring our goals and creative dynamism to realization.
