Secret Morning Adventures

The first of many secret solo missions of magic & peace!

So I have begun a new habit, if you will. It all began when I was starting to feel overwhelmed with life (yet again!) and needed some kind of break. I was looking for peace. And when I realized that I was having a hard time creating it within myself while in my usual settings (home and work), I decided to step out of the box. 

I attribute my real urge for adventure to my Sagittarian roots, but anyone  can enjoy doing this! On my way to work one morning after I dropped the boys off at preschool, I realized that I had about 20 minutes before I actually needed to be at work. I usually get there kind of early, and dawdle about…you know, browsing the internet, getting myself organized, getting a head start on setting up the store…but my mind was in “work” mode…in “I need to do ______” mode.

A beautiful park right by the beach, there is magic all around us if we are willing to see it!

So this one morning, I figured I could do my dilly dallying on paper (or not) somewhere else, somewhere peaceful and enjoyable. I was going for feelings of leisure, retreat and rejuvenation. And living on Guam, I’ve got the luxury of choosing between an ocean, jungle, field, coffee shop, or some other “scene” to step away from my usual routine. 

I chose the beach as my first secret morning adventure. I parked and brought out my journal and a small blanket I happened to have in the car. It was quite divine! Just to be somewhere that made it impossible for me to WORK, or even think about work, was enough to replenish my soul. To just enjoy myself and relax, even for just 15 minutes, was pure magic. 

Something about it being a secret is what made it fun. I felt a bit like a rebel, running away from life’s obligations. Obviously it’s no secret now that I’ve shared it here, but as long as the moment itself is a secret, that is what feels good. It added mystery, adventure, enthusiasm and mischief to my life. Quite fairy-like indeed!

Here’s to many more magic morning adventures!
