Ostara~The Spring Equinox

Merry Ostara! 

Ostara Affirmation

I am the blossom of Spring and the sweet flower unfolding.

I am the leafy stalk that pushes through the ground to 

greet the brightness of the day.

I hold the power of creation in my hands, 

as I stand at the threshold between darkness and light.

I am balance and beauty becoming.

Blessed Be.

It's the first day of spring, let's rejoice!

Today begins the waxing time of the year - 

time to set things in motion.

Every year on Ostara, I write myself an intention letter.

I fill it will my hopes, dreams, and goals for the year.

I open last year's letter, see where I stand,

and then I write my new letter for the year.

I found that this is the perfect time for me if I want to

implement any big changes in my life.

Now is the time to plant the seeds you wish to grow.

What do you wish to plant this year?

What growth would you like to see in your life?

Ostara is the time.

Yesterday was the first day of Spring, Ostara.

It's my 2nd favorite Holiday...the first being Halloween, of course. 

I love Spring. 

I love to watch things come back to life. 

The flowers bloom, the birds sing, and the garden grows. 

It's the waxing time of the year...

time to set things in motion. 

It is time to blossom.

Every Ostara I write an intention letter to myself. 

I fill it will my hopes, dreams, and goals for the year. 

I open last year's letter, see where I stand, reflect, and 

then I write my new letter for the year. 

I have found that this is the perfect time for me to 

implement any big changes in my life. 

It's a great time to plant the seeds you wish to grow.

I began 2013 with 2 major goals for the year, 

a year of transformation for me. 

The first big goal is becoming a life coach, 

the other big deal is moving to a bigger home with Chris.

I'm so freakin thrilled to report both of these are happening.

I completed my life coach training and I am officially a life coach.

Chris and I found a new home and 

began the fun of painting last night.

With the "big" part of these goals done...

it is time to plant the seeds of growth.

I'm so looking forward to nesting and getting 

all settled in the new place.

I'll have my own craft room/office.

This is major.

With my own space, I'll be able to really work on 

getting "The Magick Muse" to soar.
