Day of Blooms

This Sunday (March 15) is one of my favorite holidays, and it’s one you’ve probably never heard of. I invented it about a year ago, as part of a series of quarterly holidays. This will be my second Day of Blooms, and I’m excited.

So what is the Day of Blooms? How do you celebrate it? There are three parts to that celebration.

Part one is serving nature. Whether you pick up trash at a park, plant a tree or garden, volunteer for an ecological cause, or something entirely different, do something on March 15 to make the Earth a better place to be.

Part two is to look back over the last two months and make a list of joys and successes. What positive decisions have you made? How have you grown? What are you most proud of yourself for? Big or small, write down those moments that lift you up.

Part three is goal setting. You looked back for joys and successes. Notice the themes in the things that raised you high, and look forward into the next three months to set your goals. What do you want to achieve? How can you get there? What can you do today to start toward those goals? Big or small, envision some things for the future.

Then make them bloom.

Do you have any personal holidays you celebrate? Share them below, and let me know if you decide to celebrate the Day of Blooms as well!
