Miracle Morning Silence and Meditation
Silence and Meditation Ideas
Silence Ideas
1. One of my favorites is just sitting on the front porch with a cup of hot tea/coffee and listen to the stillness of the morning.
2. The winter can make outdoor silence setting uncomfortable, but curled up on the couch or cozy chair can work just as well, let your mind empty into a silent home atmosphere for even just 3 minutes.
3. Ear plugs - for that busy household that seems to never have even 3 minutes of quiet.
Meditation Ideas
1. YouTube.com has several good guided 3 to 15 minute morning meditations.
2. Meditate on your affirmation, especially if you change it daily.
3. Meditate on gratitude for something that happened the day before.
4. Meditate on a personal trait you are trying to change or modify.

Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn
Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn
Things to Do in September:
1. Start preparing for the Holiday Season. It is a good time to start planning what your ideas for the season are and breaking down tasks into manageable sections so that last minute rush is a thing of the past and the season is enjoyable instead of hectic.
2. Enjoy the Fall vegetable and flower gardens.
3. Settle into the new school year.
4. Sort through and swap summer clothes and winter clothes. It is a good time to make a want/need list and look for deals before the cold weather hits.
5. Clean out sheds and garages to make room to store the summer activity supplies. Might as well pull out that snow shovel and put it in front while you are at it.
6. Take down summer decor and replace with fall decor. A good time to note the Halloween decor items you might want to replace or purchase.
7. Start planning any home repair/renovation needed before winter.
8. Instead of a spring clean, call it a a fall clean. It is a good time to consider shampooing carpets and deep cleaning those areas that you only touch once or twice a year.
9. Backpacking/Hiking trips are good outdoor activity to enjoy in September.
10. Any plans you did not complete over the summer. Decide if they can still be accomplished this month or if they are better left for next year. Prioritize them next summer if you decide to wait to next summer.
