I’ve been thinking about this, and had a vision I’d like to share. It took some thought and planning ahead, but it’s well worth every effort. The first thing I saw to do was to scrub the beach rug clean.
It’s odd, but in January hundreds of birds fly overhead all day long dropping red berries. My truck looks like it lost a paintball match and everything is covered in bright, red, splatters, including my front porch. That is where the beach rug resides.
For me this year, outside is where I see a sacred space. To sit Yogi style on the rug at sunrise, wrapped in a warm blanket, and tap into the sights and sounds of the early morning. I imagine it being like unguided meditation at it’s best.
What is a beautiful morning?
It’s about creating some space for meditation, reflection, movement, writing, or anything else you’d like to have room for in your life. And finding some space in the mornings for that, a sacred space that takes advantage of the quiet and beautiful light of the mornings.

After posting a good night’s sleep I learned as soon as my eyes open, to sit up in the middle of the bed immediately. To sip a glass of water and give my body a chance to catch up with my brain. Sitting in the middle of the bed meditating in that quiet, stillness of the morning is beautiful for me, but recently I find myself gazing out windows often. Like my heart is nudging me outside.
The front porch is clean and waiting.
Let’s follow the heart outside and see what we learn by being present in the early morning light. I’ll let you know where this leads, but in the meantime I wish you a beautiful morning.

It’s waking up slowly, taking care of my morning ablutions, making coffee, and feeding Jazzy, then … settling down (with her) at the front window by soft light, plus candlelight if its dark, and writing in my journal. Always a peaceful start to my day.

That is my perfect morning. Especially with a view like that.
I am an early bird for morning job as you know. But when the dawn starts to show in my shift, then I am able to admire it.
I used to have a lovely view from my workplace for this, but a building is now there and I have to wait a little longer to see the sun show, if its going to show, on top of watching the colours in the sky.

When the dawn starts to show, it’s worth the wait. I’m sorry a building blocked your view, but I love that you wait to see it. The colors are the best! Thank you Liz. xx
