Today I had the pleasure of meeting my dear friends newest addition to the family. A simply beautiful and perfectly new baby boy. It got me thinking about the hope that a new life brings, anticipation of the arrival, followed by the sheer joy of seeing them nestle their place in a family, as if they had always been there. Every moment of each day they are literally awakening to life, having been cocooned for 9 months in a safe place that they know as home. Newborns are thrust into change, into growth, into learning and development and they take it completely in their stride. Fearlessly and using their innate instinct, they take on new challenges each day whilst being nurtured and supported by the strong force of love that surrounds them. We LOVE them, their newness is so refreshing, each and every person that meets a newborn baby feels that sense of beginning, that thirst for life, that appreciation for a small child that will blossom and grow and teach us so many things as they do so.
Child birth reminds me of Spring, my favourite season of the year, it’s such a period of transition and renewal. The earth quite literally awakens from its slumber, the sun shines just that little bit more, the buds bloom, the animals arise and there is something in the air that you can’t quite put your finger, it just feels different, more alive. In our own lives, Spring can be a symbolic time for new projects, sewing seeds, starting a fresh, it’s a perfect season to contemplate our health and well being and look to what changes we would like to make. The holiday season is over, no more need for high calorie, carbohydrate filled food. No excuses for putting off the early morning jog or the long evening walk. Spring rolls into our lives effortlessly and somehow makes us realise we need to pick up the slack. To kick start this season of transformation, Naturally New You is teaming up with some amazing women on a health and well being ‘nutrition mission!’ We are launching a two week ‘Spring Clean Cleanse’ detox programme. There will be tailored meal plans, a secret Facebook group, 1:1 wellness coach to support you and lots of positivity and motivation. It’s a perfect way to Spring back to life again! This programme is completely free all you need to do is email me at naturallynewyou@outlook.com or comment below with your email address.
