March 2026 – What Lies Ahead? March brings light. Thank goodness for that! The days stretch out, the first shoots appear, and there’s a quiet sense that something new is unfolding. Spring doesn’t rush; I love that. And it feels hopeful.

The external world can feel fast, noisy and uncertain. Change moves quickly. Expectations pile up. It would be easy to feel overwhelmed. But here, we have something steady: community life, local relationships, shared history, and a sense of belonging.

Mother’s Day falls this month on the 15th. It is a chance to pause and feel grateful for the women who shaped us. I’ll be especially thankful for my own mum, a daily reminder that resilience, love and humour carry us further than worry ever could.

As 2026 gathers pace, maybe the key is not to chase everything, but to stay grounded. Rooted. Authentic. To nurture what truly matters and let the rest settle.

Spring is on its way. And so, quietly, are new possibilities.

Let’s grow well ~ together.

Have a lovely March.
