Morning Rituals

The full moon is like a mirror reflecting the light we carry inside.

Happy Monday!

I have shared in this letter many times over the years my deep fondness for the first light of day. With beauty and grace this morning was even better as I was able to once again, witness the full moonset going down over the Rocky Mountains outside my garden. No clouds, full visibility and the experience was, as always, amazing!

My cup is full going into this week ahead and I hope that yours is as well. I had already planned to share with you the importance and magic in morning rituals with a special video that I made to share with you today. I hope you enjoy. I even share how I make my quick, easy and healthy granola.

This morning’s September moonset

Life can sure jiggle us around in ways we don’t always expect or appreciate. But the beauty in the quiet of the early morning even before the sun rises honestly can’t be beat. The best part, after hopefully a good night’s sleep, is the quiet of the morning lets us get into our head and heart before the rest of the world gets ahold of us.

Now I know that everyone’s circumstances are different. However, what I have found after honoring my morning ritual for so many years is that when I honor the morning, the day seems to honor me more. Is it always perfect? I think you know it’s not, but with intention and a positive focus you would be amazed with what you can do.

So, as we step into this new week, I encourage you to step into it with a special homage to your own morning practices and rituals. Shape and shift as you need to, allowing you to take into account what works best for you and your life. But please don’t say you can’t and move on especially if chaos is currently contributing to your mornings.

Perhaps you can add in something new. Also, I have found when I let my family members know that I am honoring this time, for the most part (grins), they cooperate. If you are a parent with little’s just imagine how you might encourage them to honor this time as well.

Here’s to a great week ahead started by the light of the September Corn moon.

Lets Grow!
