Deb orah's Profile

I have enjoyed reading everyone's morning rituals. This has been my morning ritual for the past 5 years....I always get up 2 hours before I have to leave the house for work. (Yes, some people have told me they think I'm crazy). But it gives me valued time to read a book or magazine, to meditate, to check my emails, to do some online banking or to balance my chequebook, to make a "to do" list for the day, visit eBay or just to do whatever I feel like doing. And at the same time, enjoying a smoothie or soy drink or a cup of coffee.

If the weather is nice and warm outside (I live in Canada) I sit on our front steps with a coffee watching our horses and our chickens. Or sometimes just watching and listening to the birdsong in the air. Sometimes I bring my dog Daisy on the porch with me and I sip my coffee and pat her and it is our special morning time.

I always allow myself time to have a warm bath filled with essential oils (I suggest Ombra) to relax/energize for the day. That way by the time I leave the house for work that day, I feel like I've already been enjoying the day already. It is my time.

I have always been a morning person and I especially enjoy this time of day. In fact, I often wonder how (in my youth) I used to get up and leave the house 30 mintes later.
