April Fools. WTF?!

Happy April, friends.

I know, it’s technically spring, but as per usual here in North Dakota, it looks more like a snow globe than a ray of sunshine and breath of fresh air.

Honestly, I was hoping this year would be different, that we’d move right into the spring months like other places, but instead, we’re bundled up again, watching thick flakes fall like it’s mid-January.

But me, the eternal optimist, even if the weather isn’t cooperating, I’m still choosing to let today be a fresh start. A reset. A deep breath. A new chapter. I just have to otherwise I might lose my mind. LOL

April always feels like a weird month.

It’s that in-between place, not quite winter, not fully spring, and it feels like Mother Nature is hitting the stash. Maybe one of these days she will level out!

So yes, it’s snowing. And yes, it’s a little (or a lot) disappointing.

However, I’m still calling in renewal, still ready to lighten things up – my mood, my mindset, my routines, and I’m still choosing to grow, to move, to feel good, less lazy – more energetic. Even if it’s from the inside out at first.

Today, I’m writing down my intentions, clearing out some mental clutter drinking hot honey water like I’m at a retreat instead of trapped indoors.

Spring is still coming. And I plan to meet it feeling ready. I am so ready to shake off winter, let go of the heavy, and let life feel lighter.

✨ I can bloom, even if the world outside isn’t yet.

✨ I can choose joy, even on cold days.

✨ I can begin again, no matter the weather or the day of the week or year.

In my journal today (and maybe in yours too): “What would it look like to reset today, even before everything around me changes?”

Here’s to April. Snow and all. (ugh, I can’t believe I’m typing that.) But I have got a REALLY good feeling about this month. I’m ready!

XOXO, Heidi
