Morning Blessing

May this morning greet you softly,
as light spills across your window.
May your first breath be full and kind.
May hope today rise the way the sun rises:
calmly and faithfully.
May you notice one small beauty
and let it anchor you.
May this world meet you
with the same tenderness
you so often offer others.
Today is not asking you to be perfect.
It is inviting you to be present.
And that is already a gift.
May your night be gentle.
May your morning be luminous.

This is something I sometimes struggle with, and I have many clients who do. I appreciate the practices mentioned here, and the importance of self love, which is NOT selfish.

If you want to love all beings, start with self-love, says Lisa Ernst.

Happy new year. This video was a good way for me to start the new year - remembering our connection with the earth. I love Sharon Blackie’s work.
