a new day

Join me for a morning cup of coffee as we awaken to a new dawn.

The light of a new day.

A blank page set before me.

Heart-felt words written in a book.

The warmth of a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

As I make my way into a new day I use my morning rhythm to center me.

To slow me down.

To tune me in.

My cup of coffee is my direct link to two things.

My spiritual reading and my writing.

As soon as the coffee pot is on and I hear the stirrings of the water begin to heat up, I sit down with my book and start reading.

The books I choose to read in the morning are reminders.

They remind me of who I am. The true me. The Divine me.

The words awaken my soul like the coffee awakens my body.

The coffee pot lets me know it's ready so I make my way to the stove and slowly make myself a cup.

I sit back down and open up my journal or laptop. My writing belongs in both.

I write to reflect. To process. To understand.

Sometimes I scribble words that resonate with my soul and hold so much meaning.

Other times I write pages and pages of words that belong to something bigger.

And other times I play around with words on my website allowing my creative juices to flow.

I have created this space.

We create space by letting go of the things that no longer serve us.

I let go of many things that cluttered this time and space in my life.

As I let go of the guilt of allowing my children to make their own breakfasts and school lunches, I created space for my soul.

As I let go of the running around making sure everybody had everything they needed for a successful day, I created space for my own successful day - centered in the knowing of who I am.

As I let go of the need to drive my kids to school when they were able to take the bus I created space for the two things that were the most important things to me - reading as remembering who I truly am and writing to process the life I am living.

This is me.

This is it my heart and soul being honored every morning.

And once I am done honoring my soul, my self, I am ready to honor everyone else.

And that is the best gift I can give this world.

I'm curious to know what you're two most important things are?

What are the two things that honor your soul that you can start to create space for?

With much love,

Maria
