Morning coffee is a ritual if you enjoy it. If you take the time to savour it.
Candles, smudging, waking up in the morning and saying "good morning beautiful day". Listening to a song on the way to work. Washing your face with a product that you have specially chosen and that makes you feel good. Cooking. Gardening.
Rituals can be used to break up the auto-pilot mode and reconnect with what we want in our lives. To stop and ask the question "how do I want to live today?". "How do I want to spend this moment?".
It can helps us break the habits of living and responding with anger, fear, shame and guilt.
My goal for this season of my life is to live with intention and to spend my money with intention : supporting beautiful compagnies that are growing around me : Rose Buddha, Macrafayeme, Olanhandmade, Gutsy. There are so many I could not name them all. I want to support them and in time build my own side hustle knowing that there is no limit to what we can do if we believe in our dreams and put time into them. Women supporting women to live better and more empowered lives. We are not in competition. We are here to help each other rise and live in our full power. To have female lead businesses.
This episode is dedicated to Anick and Hélène and to their beautiful François who knew how to live with intention, to make every moment count and to show his family how special they were. He was amongst many things an amazing gardener and found joy in taking care of his flowers and watering them every day.
