Spring Has Sprung!




I truly do love to see the season change.
It is the one thing that we can know will come to pass.
With each season brings new life and hope.
We can start anew even in the smallest of ways.
Plant some seeds.
Pick up a new book.
Start a long awaited project.
Visit an old friend.
Try a new recipe.
Help someone in need.
Share a smile.


Just as the birds come back to their homes after 
migrating from the cold we too can come back home.


This spring I will walk more.
When I walk I will listen and look around me.
I will take it all in.
I love to pray when I walk alone especially 
when I am walking in the mountains.
I feel so blessed to live in Colorado and 
be able to witness God's handiwork.
I never want to take this for granted.

One of my favorite prayers is one that my 
Granny always prayed.
In this prayer it announces.....
I fly unto thee

We may always fly to our mother Mary.
She will always greet us with open arms and wrap us in her
complete and unconditional love.

The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. 
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come,before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate,despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. 
Amen.


How will you start anew this spring?
I would love to know!
