I am so ready for Spring and luckily there are preliminary signs of Spring in the air; warmer weather, a little rain, birds, and a city of people ready to get outside.
Last year I posted a status update on my Facebook page that stated something about needing to get motivate to get in shape. A good friend of mine suggested that I sign up for something, like a 5K, that I would be motivated to train for. I will be WALKING in the Strides of March for the Atlanta Children's Shelter on March 8th...If you would like to join me - and help me get to the finish line, check out the details at the Atlanta Children's Shelter site.

OTHER NEWS:
Looking for a fresh new place to dine - check out the review of The Spice Market on the Random Atlanta blog. The Spice Market is located at the prominent W Hotel in Mid-Town, which is something to see as well.
The Family is growing over at Nature's Harmony. I was vert touched by the story of their story of the little lamb. When I was a child I had a stuffed lamb - which is the only stuffed animal that I still have. Little Pee-Wee is only 4 lbs! And the mommy lamb has been responding very well to her little one.
The Wren's Nest has a little "name that drink" contest happening over at their blog. If you are not familiar with the Wren's nest, I definitely recommend putting them on you list for getting in the Spring Mood. Many of us have heard the wonderful stories of Brer Rabbit - what could be more "Spring" than rabbit stories right? The Wren's Nest is preserving the legacy of story-telling that was brought to the world through Joel Chandler Harris who recreated the oral tradition of Brer Rabbit.
Spring is in the air - it is time to get out and get going. Let me know what signs of Spring you are seeing throughout the city.
