Coffee & Reading the Morning Paper

HELLO FRIDAY.

This past week was a whirlwind. We did get to visit our grandmother which was absolutely wonderful, but this week brought some angst and stress, which culminated last night when we injured our neck at martial arts class. What it boils down to is likely that the normal teacher was not there and the class did a different warm-up… so when we somersaulted (the wrong way), the neck instantly seized with stiffness and lots of pain. All that to say that we are so incredibly thankful that nothing else happened. Hence, the theme of Friday will be to rest. Rest is revolutionary. How are you doing this week? Hope all is OK.

Have you had a chance to read our entire opus on ceremonial cacao? We are having a hot cup of cacao right now, looking out at the morning light. It’s a beautiful way to start the weekend. If you’re able and enjoy our writing/posts, please support us with a coffee. It means a lot to us 🙂 Thank you!

Wishing you all the best. Wishing you peace. Wishing you time cupsouls.

Quote for the Weekend

“The heart of a human being is no different from the soul of heaven and earth. In your practice always keep in your thoughts the interaction of heaven and earth, water and fire, yin and yang.”
