Morning Ritual

Today begins a new day and I am inspired to describe my morning ritual.  I awake to Joe's kiss, coffee and then leaning out our charming dining room window, like a "french lady," as Joe describes me, I blow a  kiss and wave goodbye to Joe. Joe leaves the house at 5:25am Monday through Friday. It is then, that my secret ritual begins. I dance, pray and journal my way through the morning. I put on the music of Om Name Bhagavate and do a 7 minute yoga flow followed by time in silence and prayers of petition and breathing with the Breath of Life.  I write in my journal or blog and perhaps a letter or note to a friend or family member. By this time the sun is beginning to rise, the day underway and the time has come for a yummy english muffin with my father's home made jam, today will be peach.  My morning ritual inspires my day to be productive, creative, and calm.  No matter what the rest of the day is, the morning ritual is my gift to me and in the end to everyone.
