I know what you might be thinking: “Tanya, the holidays are the ‘most wonderful time of the year’ and those were…about 3.5 months ago.”

And to that, I say: “Why stop there??”

Today marks the first day of SPRING and Thursday is the first day of Aries aka the beginning of the zodiac year! Betcha didn’t see that one coming. Like many millennials, I too am a believer/follower/learner of astrology. I find it super interesting that the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies can influence humans and the natural world.

Ok, that’s enough woo for now…

The reason I bring this up is because I LOVE this time of year! It’s absolutely one of my favorites. The flowers blooming new life and colors after a gloomy, cold, and dead winter. The warming temperatures. And of course, the idea of starting something new and with a fresh perspective.

I’m big on energy and I really started feeling it shift last week when we had those beautiful 60- and 70-degree days. Did you feel that too? [I’m choosing to ignore that this week we’re back to lower temperatures 😁]

Every spring, I feel a sense of “out with the old, in with the new.” Here’s what I’m planning:

1. OUT with items in my home that no longer serve me (i.e. clothes I haven’t worn in a year, that box of binders collecting dust, the mini space heater I bought in 2020 and no longer use, etc.)
2. IN with starting my journey into the training industry by enrolling in the Dog Trainer Foundations course through the Karen Pryor Academy…I’m very anxious-excited 🤓

If you’re feeling this springtime mood too, I recommend checking out the ASPCA’s Springtime Safety Tips to keep your furry ones safe and happy!

Stay Comfy,

Tanya
