...March is more than just the start of spring — it’s a season of renewal, awareness, and fresh beginnings...


"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade." 
Charles Dickens ~

 March: A Month of Transition, Awareness, and Renewal


March is a month of transition, where winter’s chill begins to give way to the warmth of spring. It’s a time of renewal, growth, and fresh beginnings — both in nature and in life. The days grow longer, flowers begin to bloom, and the energy of the season encourages us to shake off the heaviness of winter and step into a more vibrant state of being.

🌷 The Changing of Seasons

March marks the official start of spring with the Spring Equinox (around March 19th–21st), where day and night are nearly equal in length. This shift brings a sense of balance and awakening. Nature reflects this change as trees sprout new leaves, flowers begin to bloom, and animals become more active. The equinox reminds us to seek balance in our own lives — to release the old and embrace the new.

☘️ Symbolism and Traditions

March is rich with cultural and spiritual significance:

  • St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th) celebrates Irish heritage and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. The shamrock, a symbol of luck and faith, is widely recognized during this festive time.
  • Women's History Month honors the achievements and contributions of women throughout history, reminding us of the strength and resilience of women worldwide.
  • National Nutrition Month encourages mindful eating and healthy lifestyle choices, promoting better health and well-being.
🎗️ March is Colorectal Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month
  • Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month – Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., but it’s also one of the most preventable. Early detection through screenings can significantly improve outcomes. Wearing blue throughout March raises awareness and supports those affected by the disease.
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Month – MS is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to symptoms like fatigue, mobility issues, and cognitive changes. Raising awareness about MS helps support research, advocacy, and those living with the condition. The orange ribbon symbolizes MS awareness — wearing orange or participating in MS awareness events can help spread the message of hope and resilience.
🌸 A Time for Growth and Reflection

Just as plants begin to grow, March is a reminder to nurture our own personal growth. It’s a great time to set intentions for the months ahead, refresh your goals, and reflect on what’s working and what needs to change. As nature transforms, it invites us to do the same — to shed old habits and embrace new opportunities.

🍃 Ways to Embrace March's Energy

✅ Spend more time outdoors — soak in the sunshine and the blooming beauty of spring.
✅ Refresh your home and mind — engage in a little spring cleaning to clear out stagnant energy.
✅ Try something new — whether it’s a new hobby, recipe, or workout, March’s energy supports exploration and growth.
✅ Support MS and Colorectal cancer research and advocacy — Participate in a local walk or donate to a research foundation.
✅ Practice mindfulness — just like the balance of the equinox, aim to create balance in your life by prioritizing both rest and action.

March is more than just a bridge between winter and spring — it’s a chance to reset, reconnect, and grow. As the flowers bloom and the days brighten, let this month inspire you to plant seeds of intention and watch them blossom throughout the year. 🌼
