Spring Cleaning For Your Body, Mind, and Soul
Spring has arrived and although it may not feel *quite* like it here in New England it is time for Spring Cleaning! Spring is an opportunity for renewal and rebirth. It is a time for planting seeds to nurture and to witness the unending cycle of growth and change. It is also a time to shed away old layers, habits, and beliefs that no longer serve you - mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
