Happiness is sipping a perfect latte from your favorite witchy mug on a rainy afternoon while crocheting a perfectly adorable plushy. Even helping reluctant math-learners through you’re-nearly-done-please-keep-going problem sets can’t dim this kind of bliss. Much.
Melody’s Bliss Espresso
2 shots Ethiopia Sidama Durato Bombe from Good Earth Roasters ground espresso fine and pulled into your favorite mug, containing:
1 teaspoon coconut sugar
1 dash vanilla salt
3 drops caramel flavored monk fruit extract
Stir to dissolve the coconut sugar, then add hot steamed half and half. Swirl and enjoy! Mmmmmmm

A Pre-party meditation
With the festivities of tomorrow falling on a dark moon, when energies are at their lowest and my body naturally wants to hibernate for a day in preparation for the new cycle of growth beginning on Friday’s New Moon, I am taking my sweet time today. If you, like me, have a full day planned tomorrow, take a breath this evening. Pause, put your hand on your heart, and sit with the gathering darkness. What do you need to let go of during this Dark Moon? What ideas, things, beliefs or relationships are preventing you from reaching your goals, or perhaps even preventing you from setting the intentions that you would like to set? Is there one thing that comes to mind that you could work on letting go of now, in this moment, that will free you to move forward into the coming cycle of rebirth? What version of YOU do you want to be by this time next cycle?
Breath in, and imagine who you want to be, who you are becoming. Breath out, and honor YOU as you are, the you who is doing the work to get you where you want to be, the YOU who is taking this moment to sit in the dark with yourself and breath. Sleep, dream, and stride into the busyness of tomorrow aware of your freedom to choose who you get to be, and who gets to see and know the real, amazing, you.
Be well. Be happy. Be free.
