When its Cold Outside, I've Got the Month of May!

It's May! A tangible sign that Spring is finally here. Even though here in the Mid-Atlantic region, the past few weeks' gloomy temperature has suggested that we may have to wait a bit for warmer weather. Nonetheless, the beginning of this new month is an encouraging sign that a new, warmer, brighter season is here.

Historically, many have marked the transition by spring cleaning - an opportunity to revive and refresh their home environment, after months of winter gloom. It signified a shift from being bundled up and hidden, to being rejuvenated and open to change.  The purpose of spring cleaning is still valuable today. Aside from the obvious benefits such as time management, enhance productivity and embracing transitions, there is another tangible benefit of marking a new season. 

This is the perfect time to review where you are in achieving your goals for the year. Spring is the ideal time to assess the ambitious goals you set in December/January to see if you are on track or, if it may be time to course correct. You may likely need to make some adjustments to how you pursue that next milestone, but the beauty of Spring is, that its a season that welcomes shifts and embraces changes.
