February~  throw out any chipped plates or higgedly-piggeldy crockery bits.  Get yourself a beautiful mug to encourage everyday elegant comfort.


March~  wash your windows with vinegar and water to let the light in.  Spritz through your home with essential oils dissolved in spring water to oust old energy.


April~  bring in some potted herbs to the kitchen and experiment with their delicious, fresh tastes.


May~  Hang a windchime outside your window to catch the breeze and make you smile.


June~  pop on your summery bedspread, and re-arrange your bedroom for a fresh holiday feeling.

July~  Go barefoot- many times.  Visit the sea.


August~  Learn something new, and share it.  A joke.  A handstand.  Craft.  A poem.

September~  Go somewhere you've never been before.  Count the butterflies you see.


October~  Bake a new cake.  Get great at it.  Give it away.  Often.


















November~  Wear a cosy hat.  Climb a big hill.

December~  Cook for friends, and let them cook for you.  Share the leftovers.


January~  Make friends with a new animal.  Stargaze.
