West Coast Cherry Blossoms

by Tara Bianca Tiller

If you love spring...rejoice! The cherry blossoms have begun to emerge and there are signs of spring and new growth everywhere inVancouver. Speaking with a friend today, he mentioned how the interest in healthy eating and living foods is blossoming in BC. We are seeing an amazing new growth of interest in raw foods, not only in peoples lives, but in books, videos, and magazines. It is the springtime of a nourishing revolution!

Spring offers renewal and rebirth in our lives. The season is a great time to reflect on the seeds we want to plant in our gardens of life. It is a chance for revitalization as we emerge from our winter cocoons. Remember how invigorated and alive you feel on those glorious sunny days.

Take the opportunity to get outside as much as you can to drink in the sunshine and to rest in the warmth of the daylight. If you are at work during the best time of the day, try to take your lunch outside. Even five minutes here and there is better than no time in the sun. And, you can always work a little longer once the sun goes down to make up for missed work.

So, spring is a great time to shake off those winter blues and get some wonderful exercise by walking in solitude or with friends.
