April 3 is National Find a Rainbow Day, an excellent reminder to look around for hope—not just in the sky, but all around us and in each other. If you need a bit of a hope pickme- up, this heartwarming spell can help dispel the clouds. You’ll need a sheet of paper and a set of crayons or markers with the seven colors of the rainbow. In any color you wish, draw a five-pointed star, about two inches across, in the center of your paper. Then, in a clockwise motion, draw each circle of color around the star, expanding out, as you say:

Red is for a warm and open heart.
Orange is for a brand-new start.
Yellow is for the sun to shine.
Green is for growth like a vine.
Blue is for clean water and air.
Purple is for kindness to share.
Violet is for a mind so true.
All together, bring hope to view!

Fold the paper three times and carry it with you.
