Insights and Awakenings

Spring...

I wrote this poem a couple of years ago...long before Phoenix Rising existed. The fact that I spoke about rebirth in this poem says a lot. This spring brings with it a whole new level of rebirth and a new baby is on the way. It is not only the coming of a child but also some sort of awakening for me as well. Enjoy this wonderful first day of spring. May you find your own rebirth in the coming days and months. <3










This long winter has me aching for spring but right now 
The sun is shining through the window of my door and
I notice my dog curled up basking in its rays while he sleeps.
My children are playing in the yard and they are throwing 
Snowballs and splashing in slushy puddles all at the same time.
As I watch them, a robin lands on a bare tree branch and I
Think to myself that soon there will be buds and
Flowers bursting forth from the ground that is 
Right now still frozen deep where the bulbs rest and
Wait for the right time to begin the journey to the surface.
As I'm thinking about the rebirth that comes with spring
I feel the sun on my cheek and it's like a promise,
A soft whisper of warmer days to come.

Ange Lindsay, Educator - 

Candice presented at Essex District High School as our Keynote Speaker surrounding Mental Health and Resilience.
Her story was riveting for our students. Immediately she commanded their full attention as she told the difficult story of her childhood and how hard she fought to make it in life. Her struggles were so vast and profound that you sat there wondering, how is she here? How strong do you have to be? Her story taught us all, students and staff alike, that it’s not what happens to you that is important, it’s your perception of it. And you choose your perception, so choose correctly.

Our students were very touched by her no nonsense way of telling her story. Candice’s ability to command the room was amazing. To have high school student’s listen so intently is a testament to her story and her life.
Thank you Candice for sharing your amazing story with us.
