🌿 March 17 Happy St. Paddy’s Day Reflections & A Local Trail to Breathe it All In 🌿
It’s St. Paddy’s Day — a day often filled with celebration, but also a day that reminds us of hope, renewal, and the beauty of finding light even in tough seasons.
And let’s be real — it’s been a wild ride of weather and emotions. One day it feels like spring is here, the next, winter is knocking again. If you’re feeling a little off balance — you are so not alone.
As I think about what March 17 really brings, I’m reminded that this is a season of “almost” — almost spring, almost warmth, almost blooms.
But here’s the thing — life is still moving, even when we can’t see it.
Maybe today, instead of pushing yourself to be “all in,” you give yourself permission to simply be — to feel whatever you’re feeling, without judgment.
Like the trees waiting to bud, like the earth still waking up, you’re allowed to move at your own pace. Nature reminds us that growth happens quietly before it bursts into bloom — and so does healing.
So today, on St. Paddy’s Day, why not gift yourself a moment to reset? To breathe? To step outside and let nature hold space for you.
Here’s a gentle nudge and some ideas to take with you:
🌸 Head to a local trail — like Kivi Park, Lake Laurentian, or Bell Park and let the fresh air work its magic.
🌸 Notice the little signs of spring : melting snow, birds singing, the way the sunlight hits the trees.
🌸 Pause and take a deep breath and let the wind or sun remind you that change is coming.
🌸 Move gently even a short walk is enough to shift your energy.
🌸 Celebrate something small — because like St. Paddy’s Day teaches us, there’s always a little bit of luck and hope to be found.
Because nature knows how to reset us better than anything else. And sometimes, so does a quiet moment away from it all.
If you’re feeling heavy, tired, or unsure right now, this is your reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to give yourself a little grace.
So this St. Paddy’s Day, let’s celebrate hope, growth, and the little steps forward — mind, body, and soul.
“Like the earth waking quietly beneath the snow, we, too, are allowed to grow in our own time -gently, bravely, beautifully.” Kim Davis-Chiarot
