We stand at the threshold of the Equinox—a moment when the Earth’s axis is neither tilted toward nor away from the sun. This perfect equilibrium between light and dark marks a moment of true balance. As we find ourselves at this unique point in the Earth’s yearly cycle, we are invited to reflect on this planetary harmony and how it mirrors the balance we seek within ourselves.

Like the story of the three little bears, where the oatmeal is not too hot, not too cold, but “just right”—this moment invites us to find that sweet spot of balance, both within and around us.

Finding this “just right” space can be elusive. Often, we run too hot—over efforting or spending energy on things that drain us unnecessarily, whether in our personal lives or collectively. On the other hand, there are times we find ourselves running too cold—feeling stuck, indecisive, or disconnected.

So, on this day of planetary balance, how can you bring more harmony into your own life? Even just for today, consider where you may be running too hot or too cold. What simple shifts can you create to help return to center—to that sweet spot of being “just right”? It’s not about perfection, but finding the middle ground of nourishment – whether rest, play, creating, or composting.

As human beings, we live within a continuum: expansion and contraction, wakefulness and sleep, consumption and digestion, movement and stillness, joy and despair, mountaintop and valley. This is the full range of what it means to be human. True balance isn’t about being in the middle—it’s about finding inner coherence and alignment, no matter where we are in that range.

Balance is not a static state. It’s about the harmony that emerges when your mind, body, emotions, and soul align—whether you’re on a mountaintop or in the valley. It’s about meeting yourself where you are, without judgment or the need to change anything, and allowing your centered presence to shift the moment. Notice how things begin to shift when you simply show up with full presence.

Nature is a powerful ally in this quest for the nourishing middle ground of feeling aligned.

By connecting with the natural world, we tap into a deeper well of harmony. Nature has the ability to soothe an overactive system, helping it relax, and to invigorate the parts of us that feel stuck or stagnant. Whether it’s resting beneath the canopy of a beloved tree, lying in the grass and watching the clouds drift by, or simply listening to the sounds of the night, nature can guide us back to balance.

Take a moment today to connect with the Earth—pause, breathe, and nourish.

May this day of balance bring you greater harmony and a deeper sense of alignment within yourself and with the world around you.

Happy Spring Equinox!

With so much love,

Kathleen
