Mornings Peace & Yoga's Affirmation

This morning my Simple Abundance reading encouraged me to let Mother Nature nurture me. Explaining how humans are naturally inclined to find peace while outside in natural surroundings. Looking up at the sky through the trees. Listening to water flow down stream. Smelling a flower. I feel connected to mother nature as I sit on the front porch with my coffee in the morning. The sun peaks through the trees. Our tomato bushes with their green glow, sunflowers attracting little finches and their twittering noises.... I love spending time in our garden, at a park or anywhere that drips of beauty and tranquility. I have even been known to find a peace while wondering neighborhoods in Portland, Oregon.

On Friday mornings I have been going to yoga at the Nature Center here in Pueblo, Colorado. I love flowing through the moves, listening to the wind in the trees and the sound of the river. Even at 6:30 am when I am tired this experience is terrific. I love the feeling I have after I'm done and I'm on my way back to the real world. I feel ready for the day. More at peace.

Today I had my morning coffee on the front porch. I found my morning peace, read my daily Simple Abundance and started my day. After work I rushed over to Open Studio Yoga. I was right on time and it was a packed room. The only spot left for my mat was right in front of the big, green money tree. A few of my "flat backs" between my 'forward folds" put my head into the bush. I had to laugh inside as I flowed through the Vinyasa moves. Even while inside doing yoga, Mother Nature was asking me to join her today.
