Today, in the quiet of the morning while all are still sleeping… I brew a pot of coffee, feed our little dog, open the blinds, and step outside for a moment to sip my coffee while saying ‘Good Morning’ to the nearby mountains that remind me that the Wild is a short car ride away…
I put on some uplifting music with dreamy female vocals—just loud enough where only I can hear it—and in between sips of java, I freestyle dance in and around our otherwise crowded kitchen and living room, allowing myself to enjoy this feeling of total freedom.
This is my favorite form of self-care that keeps me above water when caregiving drains me. This allows me to love those around me better. This IS love… my deep connection to the music within me—the music of the universe and all creation.
Happy Valentine’s Day, my friends!
Find what rejuvenates your soul and share the love it feeds you with others.
Love,
Susan
