My Morning Ritual with Mother Cacao 🤎

Most mornings begin slowly for me now.
Not rushing to “get on with the day,”
but easing into it…
arriving in my body first, before the world asks anything of me.

I warm the water.
I mix the cacao.
I breathe while it melts.
A tiny ceremony in the kitchen.

This isn’t about productivity or “starting strong.”
It’s about remembering myself.

Cacao has this way of softening me from the inside out.
She opens the heart, gently never forcing, never pushing just inviting me to return.

As I drink, I ask:
How is my heart this morning?
What do I need to feel supported today?
Where can I slow down, even just a little?

Some days the answers are clear.
Some days they arrive later.
Either is okay.

This ritual is my reminder that I’m not here to outrun my life.
I’m here to live it.
To feel it.
To move with it.

If your mornings feel rushed or heavy,
maybe you could try a tiny pause.
Just a breath.
A quiet moment.
A hand to your own heart.

You deserve to meet yourself gently.

🤎

My heart is full. ✨

A huge, heartfelt thank you to the beautiful beings Deb & Jeanette for co-creating and co-facilitating such a nourishing day for mind, body, and spirit.
To all the incredible women who joined us — just wow.
What a day. What a circle. What a remembering.

We journeyed through the five elements — grounding, flowing, igniting, softening, expanding.
We moved. We rested. We released. We laughed.
We rewilded our bodies and came home to ourselves.

This picture captures what we created together:
Connection. Embodiment. Shakti

Deep listening is a love language — especially toward yourself. When do I override my own inner voice? What would it sound like to listen deeply instead?

Ask your body before your mind — what truth lives beneath this moment?

I came across Hugo’s story — an 11-year-old boy fighting a rare cancer — and couldn’t stop thinking, how can I do more?

That’s when I knew… our next Stepping Into Sound Silent Disco had to be a fundraiser for Hugo and his family.

🎧 Come dance, connect, and help a family through the unthinkable.

Receptivity:- Where do I feel I must earn love, rest, or care? What would it mean to allow goodness in simply because I am human?
Receptivity is radical trust in your own worthiness to receive without striving.
