Springtime is a season of change, renewal, and transformation –for nature and for us. It’s a time for releasing the old and making way for the new. Whether we are doing spring cleaning at home or putting away all our winter clothes…we are making space. And that feels good. The sounds of spring are brighter, the colours are more vibrant, and even the air smells sweeter.
Springtime echoes possibility and hope. When that gets coupled with literary genius – boom, major inspiration. In the midst of a personal quest, I came across a quote that read: “It’s never too late to be who you might have been.” It stirred something in me, like a window cracking open for the possibility of transformation.
Transformation is a big word. In reality, it’s pretty simple. It’s all in the details. It can feel like a gentle nudge, a mysterious coincidence, or a life-altering event. It’s all part of the natural unfolding of this beautiful life. When I pause to reflect, I’m so thankful for everything that moved me from one step to the next. When I look back, I realize how perfectly life stitched the pieces together.
Transformational coach Dave Elleray shares his rediscovered love of life by working with everyone from school children to prison inmates. In a recent podcast conversation, he described the shift which changed the trajectory of his entire life. Just like the quote that inspired a shift in me, this podcast episode brought me to a next level of clarity. He actually said: “if you are drawn to this conversation today, it is because you are ready to move up a step.” I felt like he was speaking directly to me.
Dave recounts his transformative journey and invites the listener to reflect on their own. “To wake up spiritually… to seeing beyond the illusion of the dream.” Dave says that after discovering the wholeness in himself, he was able to witness the wholeness in others. I welcomed this spiritual and practical conversation. Each layer of this mystical journey exposes a new step in our transformation. As we move through this season of renewal, why not look beyond the illusion and the limits of the intellect? That way we may just discover a life waiting to be lived—one that is as expansive and mysterious as it is real and regenerative. For now, I invite you to embrace the possibilities of spring and the hope of renewal—one day at a time.
