Spring is coming! (And my Yoga Behind Bars fundraiser is here!)

Spring is coming.
Here in the Pacific Northwest, the hellebore, crocus, and daffodil have pushed up their green shoots – some have even begun to bloom (as seen above)! The melodic (and sometimes territorial) songs of twitterpated birds are everywhere. I even saw my first hummingbird already sitting on her tiny nest this past weekend.
Another sign of spring… don’t forget to set your clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed this Saturday night!
In other exciting news…
I am fundraising this month for Seattle’s own Yoga Behind Bars (YBB)!
For those of you who don’t know about this incredible organization: YBB shares trauma-informed yoga and meditation with incarcerated people to promote rehabilitation, personal transformation, and a more just society for all.
I am nothing short of inspired and move by the heart and soul of the good folks who make the magic happen at YBB.
And as I am a huge fan of their powerful and important work, my goal is to raise $500 by April 6. Will you help?
If yoga has made a difference in your life, please consider donating to help YBB ensure that it can make a lasting difference in others’.
Bonus: right now your donation will be matched – so the power of your gift will be doubled! Every little bit helps!
In gratitude,
Nicole
