the songs, mugs, and rituals that make my mornings.

the morning sequence

these are the things i do most mornings, in roughly this order. not a routine. more like a rhythm. some days i skip half of it. that's okay too.

  1. open one curtain. let the light in slowly.
  2. boil water for coffee or tea.
  3. light a small candle.
  4. journal three lines (more if i feel like it).
  5. drink the coffee while it's still hot.
  6. say good morning to baby.

☕ the playlist

slow, soft songs that don't pull at me. mostly acoustic. nothing with a beat that says hurry.
