Daylight Expansion!

I know everyone calls the clocks moving forward Daylight Savings Time but aren’t we expanding daylight…and on the March 21 equinox, when we have equal hours of daylight and sunlight, it marks the time until the fall solstice in September that we will now have more daylight. We are expanding our brightness as we speak!

In honor of having more light, I think it’s time to feel more lightness in our lives. I know it can seem difficult with the perceptions about our economy, the environment and insert top anxiety here. BUT – it can be done, starting with our food.
