I wanted to take a photo of my altar set up for the first day of spring! I try to meditate in the mornings before I write to get me in the proper state of mind. Green Tara, Saraswati, Ganesh, and Guanyin are still here, and I’ve added a Fenghuang to welcome warmth and the birds back. I’ve put a rose quartz, clear quartz, citrine, and amethyst crystals to channel good energies in (3 out of 4 of these crystals are from the Children’s Museum and remind me of the good memories I had there). Tara is sporting the mala I use for her mantra and the newest additions in the center are a tree incense burner and a goldstone turtle to represent Xuanwu, who I believe protects me and the space, as well as gives me the inspiration needed to write #thefourgods since Gen is based off of him. I hope it’s warmer where you are than it is where I am and that your first day of spring is filled with joy and magic! 🌸💐🌼 #writerslife #firstdayofspring #amwriting #meditation (at Indianapolis, Indiana)
