Morning Kiss

Many years ago I had a friend who programed her coffee maker that she called her “boyfriend” every night, and then in the morning she would wake up and think  awe… my boyfriend  made me coffee😉 It brought her so much joy, and now she has a husband that’s very attentive to her and brings her coffee in bed. It’s much like what I did with my blog here. I wanted to live a life that was perfect for me. I started writing about it, and now I’m living it. And, it’s with this thought that I wanted to create “Morning Kiss”.

As you may know I have a new website called Azul Yoga. I’ve linked it here and to this blog.  In creating my perfect life I became a yoga teacher. It keeps me grounded, and healthy in body and mind. And, as you man not know, a few months after I moved close to the beach I started waking up every morning before sunrise and heading down to the beach to meditate. Everyday, I became more and more infinitely aware of my connection to myself, and my connection to the whole. And, as the sun rose. I became more and more aware of the diversity and magnificence each day brings. I’m not always in the same spot, but I can be for days on end, at the exact same place; and the sunrise, the shore, the tide, the waves, the sky, the color of the water, everything is different and unique every day, and in reality changes moment to moment. Where photos I’ve taken fifteen minutes apart from each other looks like the difference between night and day in comparison.  It has become so illuminating to me, witnessing the infinite possibilities of the day, that I wanted to share it with everyone. So I started posting sunrise photos, on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, my Azul Yoga website, and other social media sites. Then I added quotes or positive thoughts along with the photos. And, then I thought – How cool it would be to not have to go look for it but to receive it via email, like a good morning kiss, or a friend bringing you a cup of coffee in the morning. So I’ve linked it to my Azul Yoga website which is where I’ve been posting my photos, and now I have it set up to where if you subscribe to the Azul Yoga website you’ll begin to receive these daily greetings and inspiration. My intention with the “Morning Kiss” is to create a positive beginning to our day, to individuals all over the world, mindfully linking our connection to ourselves, and to the whole that we can and cannot see, but with a knowing that we are all linked – Like the sun that shines on us all.

 

Below is an example of today’s “Morning Kiss” as seen on AzulYoga.com

Good Morning You Beautiful Soul!

Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise. Marcus Aurelius.

 

It’s in the doing that brings you joy!

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. – Rumi

When trying something new, sometimes what is lost, is that we never start out excellent. Sometimes what is needed is to keep trying, but that’s lost sometimes with our teachers, or within ourselves. It’s in the doing that counts. The fact that we’re there. That we’re showing up. Over time – we  will  get  better! Often the best teaching is when you fail, and if your still practicing you keep self correcting, until one day when you get it perfectly right. Although sometimes the presumed failure by others, can create something better than the perfection that you originally sought. The goal is to keep doing what brings you joy, what moves you, that’s when your own personal perfection is achieved, in that moment, whether it’s judged good or bad by any other. It’s in the doing that brings you joy, regardless of the outcome. So go, do, and enjoy!

 

Just a thought…

Love, Goldi

Power Of The Soul

To live happily is an inward power of the soul. Very little is needed to make a happy life. It’s all within yourself, in your way of thinking.  When you rise in the morning, think of what a privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. You have the power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Thoughts today were all taken from the quotes of Marcus Aurelius.

LOVE for the POWER of your SOUL, Goldi
