Welcome March 🌱🌸🌤️
Spring is now getting on its way and March invites us to welcome growth. Growth can take many forms and may be small to start with. I invite you to find one small area of growth that you might want to commit to this month.

Let’s counter overload by focusing on tiny breaks. Enjoy looking at a plant, watch a bird or enjoy a cup of tea. If someone talks to you, don’t give a quick response to move on with your busyness, stop and engage.
It’s in the little breaks that we can find regular rest.

Spring and the renewal of nature starts.
I invite you to sit and listen in. See if inside you a tiny flower raises its head above the snow. Maybe journal about it. What flower is it? What growth or renewal can it bring? How can you nourish it and remove obstacles to its growth?

And this is how it starts. If we change language we delete more than words. We take people’s experiences and don’t allow them to be. A slow quiet genocide right in front of us.

"It is not OK to shove everything together, from ballerinas to florists, into a thing called 'the creative industries'... What’s required is a subtle sense of how provision of arts in schools & in communities (theatres, libraries, museums) can create opportunities for children from all backgrounds."
‘Worse than the 1980s’ – that’s the arts sector now. It’s not a good look for a Labour government | Charlotte Higgins
So many pre-election promises: but still a cultural malaise spreads from our schools to museums, galleries and theatres, says the Guardian’s chief culture writer Charlotte Higgins

Let’s work on building bridges.
In building communities and reaching out to others, we learn more about life and living. We can see similarities and dreams others have. We might realise that in strengthening others’ rights, our own are strengthened.

80 years ago Auschwitz was liberated. More than one million children, women and men were murdered there as part of the Holocaust. A dark lesson of history; humanity owes it to each of the victims to ensure it will never happen again. #HolocaustMemorialDay

As we reach the end of the year, we will soon see lots of posts about achievements.
This is your encouragement to be considerate when it comes to achievements. Let’s be more open towards the various forms achievements come in and celebrate each other.

Singing is a great way to release stress and body tension. In pacing your breath, you regulate the nervous system and can have fun doing it.
Why not use the darker days, to learn a new song or get together with friends for karaoke.
