Share|Enter coupon code: LION at check-out for 50% off the Winter Kit March Comes in Like a Lion and Goes Out Like a Lamb I love this childhood illustration.  Even when I was little, I felt the sense of optimism from this transitional period of March to April.  It starts fierce and ferocious but softly transforms to quiet and peaceful.  New growth is both seen around us and felt within.
