(click to enlarge)The calendar says it's spring, but when I look outside, I'm not so convinced. SNOW!
To cheer myself up, I decided to paint this in photoshop and include it as one of the choices for my upcoming giveaway! The original is 1024 x 768 and can be used as a desktop wallpaper. If the winner prefers I can print out a smaller version and send it to them. :)
I am still fighting this super virus that has gotten a hold of me. My voice was mostly back yesterday, but I went to work and almost lost it again! So, I made myself stay home again today.
Not that I'm complaining. I don't want to go out in that! :)
As the season awakens to new life, budding blooms and fresh perspective, I am taking this moment to clear out, clean up and make way for renewal. It's time for Spring Clean!
My home:
I am not one to hold on to clutter, but there are boxes here and there that have stayed packed and stowed away since my move almost three years ago! I am taking them out, looking through them, and chucking stuff out! If I have not missed those things in all this time, they are not essential to me.
My body:
I will be doing a cleanse to get rid of toxins and prepare my fleSHrine for health and restoration. I have an appointment with the naturopath on the 20th, and I want to get rid of the debris in my system first. I am going to be mindful of what gets inside of me, looking for healthier and more meaningful alternatives.
My heart:
As I open my heart to others' happiness, I open my heart to mine. I rejoice without expectation, and release the emotional baggage that has been weighing my heart down. Open the windows and valves of my heart, for fresh spring air and possibilities.
My mind:
There is something brewing there. Something exciting. I can feel it under the surface, percolating and getting ready. I have a couple of projects on the go, but I know it's not them. Something is about to be born of my mind. Something I have been awaiting for a long time.
My life:
I have been cocooning for a while. It's time to step out into the sunshine, and revel in the beauty of what is experience.
It's time.
Yes it is!
What does your spring cleaning look like?

Your Spring Cleaning sounds wonderful, Genie! Love the picture, too. It's so bright & happy. :)
Hi Genie,
It looks like spring here but you know the grey, rainy, raw kind of spring! Not the beautiful, fragrant, green like of spring like in your lovely piece today !
How great that your spring cleaning spreads to all the parts of you. I am overwhelmed with the amount of "cleaning" i have to do after this long, hard winter, so I am choosing to clean one thing at a time...baby cleaning steps...for now.
I joined a wonderful meditation group last night. Our guide, Deb was super cool and a grounded spiritual person which I love ! I think taking that hour once a week to be completely in the moment is going to go far in my cleansing process !
Feel better at your pace and enjoy your down time. Good for you for taking it !
Happy Cleaning !
Hi Genie,
You beat me to it! I didn't have a chance to stop by earlier this morning to let you know that I appreciate you and your wonderful blog and how I'm inspired each time I visit. Your comments at my blog make me smile.
Please accept the Lemonade Award for the warmth you spread around the universe.
Hugs!
Pamela
You always uplift me sweet Genie. I wish all the blessings in the world for you. Your painting is beautiful!
Even here in Florida the weather has turned cold on us - perhaps one last blast of winter.
I love your spring cleaning - you're covering all the bases. Sounds very positive.
Feel better! That should be most important right now. Being sick in the Spring stinks.
It's Spring cleaning here too! We're working through our garage that's full of boxes we haven't looked at in years.
I love the picture. That's exactly what Spring time should be like.
genie, great post and love the painting! they are looking so "springy"! my spring cleaning looks NOT DONE! I started in my closet this weekend, saturday, and it's not done, and the bedroom is mid-done as well, the rest of the house is impossibly not started and my body, well, it's a mess too and now I have this weird horrible bladder thing starting tonight and on and on...you don't really want to know more, it's not pretty!! haha...well, that's putting it mildly....
Snow? Oh no!
At least here spring is really springing... it might be sunny one moment and raining and windy the next but its not snowing.
Sounds like you might have lost your voice for school especially to let you clear this baggage.
Tracy - Thank you honey! :)
Kim - What a great initiative taking Meditation! What an awesome first step. Much sweet cleansing to you! :)

Tabby - Thank you sweetie. If I can uplift, I am extremely happy. :)
Rebecca - I think Mother Nature is trying to tell us something! :)
Tori - Thank you honey :) Cleaning out a garage full of boxes can be daunting, but very satisfying :)
Linda - Thank you sweetie :) I'm just starting too! It's a process with many stages lol. I am sending you healing vibes.
Caro - Yes indeed. This virus was a timely one :)
