While we lived in Europe over the summer I learned many new things, one of which was to drink and love coffee.

My whole life I never liked coffee and never drank a drop.  But after drinking it in a hotel room in Switzerland, I never went back.

So when we got back to the states I bought a white Mr. coffee machine at target. It didn’t matter what brand it was, it just mattered that it was white LOL.  I like the light, I like sparkles, I like glitter, and I like white.

Period.

Also, I honestly can’t taste the difference.  Between this coffee and that coffee and this coffee machine and that coffee machine.

I didn’t even notice that this Mr. Coffee machine is one that you can self time. So I can set the timer the night before and have it brew at 4 AM when I wake up.

In theory.

I am a writer and a super-mom of five and a Yogi and a creator and an activist, but good with spatial tasks I’m not.

So I handed it over to Phillippe, who ostensibly set the timer so that my hot coffee would be awaiting at 4 AM.

It wasn’t.

So I just hit that button and off it went.  It brewed up my coffee and I smiled as I drank it, thinking about what a good feeling it is to set up the coffee maker the night before–whether it self brews or not.  I tuned into the vibration of how calming and grounding it felt to put the coffee filter and grounds into the coffee maker the night prior, knowing that something warm and tasty and energizing would come from such a simple action.

Your yoga practice is a similar  foundation setting for your day. So simple, yet so profound–and so able to produce a strong foundation on which to build your day, and your life.

Have the best day ever!

Namaste!
