Ah, Beware the Ides of March.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

I feel bad that Julius Caesar was assassinated on this day, but I think it is high time to take back March 15th and no longer fear that dreaded date and the bad energy associated with the “Ides of March.”<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/font> <\/p>\n


\n\"50308DDD1A2E4A3E82E98E52D1E1FBC0.jpg\"<\/span>This fateful occurrence was famously dramatized in William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, when Caesar is warned by a Seer to “beware the Ides of March.”  <\/span>He arrogantly laughed at the guy only to meet a stabbing death by his friends in the senate. Yikes.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

Time to replace that negative image with a positive one–like spring Inspiration. Think of it this way, as of March 15th<\/sup> Spring is only 6 days away!<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

Daylight savings time 2010 kicked off on March 14 and by today, the Ides of March,  <\/span>we can begin to readjust our body clocks and brains as we get ready for more light in each day and the coming spring and the spring inspiration it brings.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

So let’s March into spring and spring forward in the way Daylight Savings Time lets us.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
