Seven Sacred Days: The Spring Series #6 (Farewell, March)

Hello, you - and Happy Easter!

I had planned to write to you yesterday, but I have been a day behind for a few days now. 🙈 However, I thought I’d not bombard your inbox and so I decided to stick with my original plan of sending a letter to you every other day. Hence, the Easter Sunday letter.

In keeping with my own personal celebration of Holy Week, and since yesterday was Holy Saturday (the day in which all hope was lost - between the death of Friday and the hope of Sunday), my plan was to write to you about the power of sabbath and vigil and rest - especially as the energy of the year rises in the spring and summer months. But, I think I will save that for another letter later in April.

Today, I just want to stop by and wish you a lovely weekend. A lovely holiday, if you are celebrating. And a lovely spring Sunday, if you are not.

But, mostly, I want to take a few moments now to close out March.

The month of March began with the energy of change, balance, awakenings, and rebirth. I spoke of it as a gateway month - one in which we move from one season to another. I felt excitement and anticipation as March began, knowing that we would be crossing over into the active, outward, light half of the year. And now we have - and it feels so good (even if there is still snow in the forecast in Sweden. Hehe).

March has been a month marked with 3 distinct energies: the unrest of the changing of the seasons, the perfect balance of the equinox, and the slow unfolding of spring. And, I must say, I have felt them all.

Out and about on Saturday (without a coat!!) - exploring a little harbor town nearby.

Yet, on this last day of March everything is different than it was on the first day of March. Dawn has officially arrived. The earth is actively waking. And so am I. Hope has returned, as all of nature begins to slowly grow and bloom. And, I think that is exactly what I have been hoping to use these Seven Sacred Days letters for - a way to give myself space to begin to connect with the energy of spring and reflect over how I want to grow and bloom during this year’s spring and summer seasons.

How do I want to live? What spiritual practices or disciplines do I want to add into my everyday life? How can I show up for myself and other? What can I learn? How am I evolving? What intentions do I have? How do I envision these next few months? What do I need? How can I bloom and grow?

I know that the close of March has left me with all of these questions. But, I am fine with that. I know that they will unfold as April arrives. And, to be honest, it really does feel like a whole new energy, that will guide me as explore all of these questions, arrives with the new month - but more about that energy in my next letter. ✌🏼

What I feel, as March comes to a close today, is that the new phase has now begun. Morning has broken and a new day has dawned. I don’t know what lies ahead. None of us do. But, I know that the new beginning is here. And I feel a sense of hope and life as the rhythm of the seasons cycles on.

Wishing you a most lovely end to March, my friend. What did you experience? Accomplish? Ponder? Feel? I’d love to hear how you are as you say farewell to this month.

xoxo. liz.

P.S. I will be working on my April letter and podcast tomorrow, and will send it to you on Tuesday. Can’t wait! Until then, love. xx
