March has a quiet way of reminding us that change is inevitable. The air shifts. The light lingers a little longer. Buds begin to open where bare branches once stood. The transition from winter to spring doesn’t happen overnight, it unfolds gradually, sometimes awkwardly, often unpredictably.
And if we’re honest, personal change feels much the same.
At Edgewood Flowers, we witness seasonal transitions up close. One week we’re surrounded by the deep tones of winter; the next, softer hues and fresh textures begin to take center stage. The in-between can feel uncertain. But it’s also where growth begins.
Why Change Feels Uncomfortable
Change disrupts routine. It asks us to step into the unknown. Even when the outcome is positive, there’s a natural tension in leaving behind what’s familiar. Much like early spring weather—sunshine one day, chill the next—growth rarely follows a straight line.
There’s vulnerability in becoming something new.
Whether it’s a career shift, a relationship evolving, a personal goal taking root, or simply adjusting to a new season of life, change stretches us. And stretching can feel uncomfortable.
The Beauty of Seasonal Shifts
Nature offers reassurance. Flowers don’t bloom year-round, and they’re not meant to. There is rest. There is preparation. There is quiet before color returns.
March teaches us that uncertainty is part of the process. Buds push through soil not because it’s easy, but because it’s time. And once they do, the transformation is undeniable.
In floral design, the most beautiful arrangements often come from contrast, the pairing of soft and bold, structured and free, muted and vibrant. Growth in life works the same way. The discomfort adds depth. The transition creates dimension.
Embracing the In-Between
Instead of rushing through change, what if we allowed ourselves to sit in it? To acknowledge that feeling unsettled doesn’t mean something is wrong, it means something is shifting.
You don’t have to have everything figured out this season. You just have to be willing to grow.
As we welcome spring, may we also welcome the parts of ourselves that are still unfolding. Change may feel unfamiliar, but it often carries us exactly where we’re meant to go.
Here’s to new beginnings, gentle growth, and the quiet courage it takes to bloom.
