Happy May Day!

The spring snowstorm brought over 20 inches of snow, much needed moisture to our neck of the prairie. If you look really hard in the trees you may still see a few areas where the snow still lays hidden from the May sunshine.  Spring is a time of new beginnings, cleaning out, making room.  What have you done to clean out the physical, mental, and spiritual clutter in your life?
We tend to accumulate things.. taking up space in our life... and we need to consciously take inventory every once and while to determine if our stuff serves a purpose in our lives.  Why do we hang onto things? If we gave it away would it serve a bigger purpose? If we symbolically threw it away or burned it would it free some space for new growth?  Time to throw away grudges, hurt feelings, and negative thoughts.
Opening [sacred] space is a fine undertaking... clean your closets, clean your thinking, and free your spirit.
