Spring is a time for renewal, a time for awakening, a time for new life and new beginnings. It is that time of year where mother nature awakens and replenishes life into her flora that were stripped of their leaves and flowering. She showers her flowers and trees with fresh new rain to keep their roots nourished to get them growing leaves again.

During the Winter months, although the trees were stripped of their leaves, we knew that they would eventually recover from the harsh conditions. Just like in nature, there are times in our lives where we feel like we have been stripped of our leaves. In those harsh times, we need to take lessons from nature, and believe that we too can be nourished back to life.

unwavering hope matched with proper nourishment recipe for growth.

Hope is having that strong desire expecting the most ideal outcome. If we have unwavering hope, matched with determination and consistency, we will be able to nourish ourselves after we have lost our leaves. So let the fresh rain of hope fall down and nourish our roots and bring them back to life. Like the trees in nature, we need the proper conditions for us to thrive and continue to grow.

“However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. Where there’s life, there’s hope. “— Stephen Hawking
