Happy March! The first signs of spring are upon us – the sun hangs around a little longer each day, blossoming buds that will gradually unfold into beautiful blooms are starting to sprout, and nature’s little creatures are coming out of their winter hiding spots. Spring sparks images of growth all around us. In the spring of life, there is a sense of renewal and rejuvenation that mirrors the inner changes that occur navigating through life’s challenges and experiences. Just as spring brings warmth and light after the cold winter, emotional growth brings a newfound understanding and resilience after periods of difficulty. Spring is a season of self-discovery and acceptance, where emotions blossom and mature, much like the flowers that paint the landscape. Self-reflection is a valuable tool for personal growth. By asking yourself introspective questions, you can gain insight into your values, feelings, goals, and relationships. Here are some self-reflection questions to help you on your journey towards personal growth this month:
- When you dig deep into yourself, what emotions come up for you most often?
- What are your top three values and how do they influence your behaviors and decisions in your life?
- How are your relationships affecting your well-being lately?
- What healthy habits that are you integrating into your daily routine?
- What are some aspects of your life that you can extend some gratitude towards?
- What play or creativity is present in your life right now?
The team at Dalliance, encourages you to embrace the lessons and opportunities for growth during this emotional spring to make space for cultivating a more profound connection with yourself and the world around you, fostering a sense of inner harmony and fulfillment.
A Letter from DSWC Founders, Heather & Trisha
In this month’s newsletter, we wanted to take a moment to address an important aspect of our human experience: sexual growth. As we embrace the dawn of a new season, we’re reminded of the beauty of growth and renewal. Spring is a
time for fresh perspectives, new experiences, and the opportunity to embark on journeys of self-discovery—including in the realm of sexuality.
Growth is an integral part of our human sexual experience. It’s a journey marked by exploration, introspection, and understanding. It’s about uncovering layers of ourselves, embracing our desires, and navigating the complexities of intimacy.
Just as spring breathes new life into the world around us, each of us has the power to embark on our own journey of sexual growth and adventure. It’s a journey that is deeply personal, yet profoundly transformative.
In this season of new beginnings, let us come together as a community to support one another on our paths of sexual growing. Let’s create a space where conversations about sexuality are met with openness, understanding, and respect. Let us celebrate diversity, encourage dialogue, promote sexual education and understanding, honor boundaries and prioritize well-being in relationships.
This month’s newsletter has something for everyone in order to feel seen, heard, and valued in their pursuit of sexual exploration and self-discovery. We are so excited to share our thoughts and resources with you all and are grateful you’re here.
Warmest regards,
Heather & Trisha
