Happy Spring!

No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. -Proverb

Spring is in the air -  from the azure blue skies and white puffy clouds to the sweet, fragrant orange blossoms getting ready to burst.  Butterflies and bees dance about while hummingbirds sing to greet the morning sun.  How wonderful, energizing and glorious is this time of year when nature begins to thrive and flourish?


Spring Forward with a Joyous Body, Mind, Spirit Connection
Spring is a wonderful time to get organized, rejuvenated and inspired!  A few of the best ways to do that?  (1) nourish your body with delicious, fresh, and organic foods, (2) energize your body with daily exercise,  (3) plant seeds of positive thought in your mind so that you can nurture them to manifest into the most beautiful blooms.

I hope with this newsletter, as well as in my upcoming newsletters, you will find recipes to nourish your body, mind and spirit, and joyous living inspirations to warm your table, hearth and home!

Have a simply delicious day!
