Hello [Name],
Spring is here, and a few days ago, one of our team members decided to come up for air.
He'd been heads-down since January in one of those long stretches where you stop noticing how much time has passed since you did anything that wasn't work. He loves what he does, which made it easy to let the weeks blur together.
But one warm afternoon he decided he'd had enough, laced up his shoes, and drove to a trail that follows a creek through a patch of old woods near his house.
The first thing that hit him was the smell, the mix of wet soil and bark and something green and alive that you only get in early spring, in a shaded wood, near moving water. Little rivulets running through the meadows and into the trees.

He said it stopped him on the path, the way a good smell sometimes does, and it felt like a small door opening somewhere in his chest.
He was out there for over two hours. When he came back he told us it was the best he'd felt in months, just because he'd finally looked up long enough to remember what was there.
This time of year does something to people.
After a long winter indoors, something in us stirs and wants to clear the slate, clean house and get a fresh start.
That instinct is worth paying attention to.
Over the next few days we're sending you a short series to help with the transition into spring, every email will have a new journaling prompt to help you reflect and act.

What do I no longer want to carry?
Write that question at the top of a fresh page and sit with it for a moment. Let the answer come on its own terms.
When something surfaces, write it down without any judgement. Then go through your notebook and cross out anything connected to it. Tasks, notes, reminders, anything that belongs to what you're ready to set down.
That's all for today.
