Nov 20 2019 Spring Cleaning For The Soul
We’re told to discard and dust off material things we no longer need but how often do we look within ourselves to see what we need to let go of?

Spring is such a wonderful time of the year. It reminds us of rebirth, growth and of course, the steady approach of a warm and languid summer.

As children, without the increased knowledge or experience to rationalise and put things in perspective, we find fear in lots of places. We learn from the world around us what is dangerous and what might hurt.
