There's something special about the move into spring. After hibernating through winter, going inward to rest, it's nice to stretch and expand into the newness of now. And it’s also the time of new growth, new projects and new beginnings.

Does saying "I matter" feel uncomfortable to you? If it does, you're not alone. So often thinking it, let alone saying it, can stir up a lot of emotion for people. Feelings of not being good enough or not having a place in this world are overwhelmingly present for many. 

There's no guide book for living life - we by and large learn and grow "on the job".  And it can be hard going! At times it can feel like you’re fumbling blindly forward hoping and praying that things work out but not sure they will. And then, you’re on the other side. Maybe a bit battered and definitely wiser.
