Springtime Renaissance

Write yourself a letter that you wish your mother had written you. Mine have said things like, “You are beautiful. You can do anything. Let’s go shopping for that prom dress. It is safe to be a girl. I will protect you. I love you so much. You inspire me. You were the most gorgeous baby I ever saw. When you were little, you were so magical. You are so smart. You are funny. Being a mother to you, staying home with you, was never a sacrifice, because I got so much out of it too, who wouldn’t want to watch you, Sarah, blossom? I would never leave you.” Give this to yourself.

Music, choose some new music; listen deep. Find a new rhythm in life. This is part of rebirthing the self, our own personal renaissance. So, take pictures to externalize your personal experience, for me this is particularly of beauty and gratitude.

Listening to: Dave Matthews Live, “When the World Ends”, (When the world ends, you and me will just be beginning … ), “Warpaint” by The Black Crowes, Jack Johnson “Sleep Through the Static” and Thievery Corporation mixes.
