“Go outside and get the stink blown off you!”
My mom, the fourth of six children in an Indiana farm family, recalls my grandmother often saying this as she shooed her kids out of the house.
After months of wintery cabin fever, it would probably do us all some good to go out and get some fresh air, too.
It’s been proven time and again that being out in nature does wonders for our bodies and minds. It supports our physical and mental health, and it often provides the reset we need to think differently, to see a new perspective, and to reignite inspiration.
In this issue, you’ll find ideas to immerse yourself in all of springtime’s refreshing offerings. Explore ways to get closer to nature, whether that’s bringing flowers up to your window (p.40), paddling on a lake (p.26), or standing in a gigantic forest wind chime (p.32). Learn how to live a little cleaner and healthier (p.22, 27). Plan a trip (p.8, 38), delight in Derby (p.16, 18), and focus on seeing the good in each day (p.46).
Let’s get out, refresh our scent, and catch a whiff of inspiration. — Jessica Alyea
