Well, I was about to abandon my french press as a failed experiment, but now I feel inspired to reconsider it. And to put a journal next to my coffee mugs!
I too have learned the value of centering, grounding quiet time in the first part of the morning. Of late, my quiet time included reading some of the writings from Stoic philosopher Epictetus, writing in my journal, listening to Buddhist dharma talks, or reading a chapter at a time of Rick Rubin's The Creative Act. What I don't do is read the news first thing in the morning.

Thanks for this. I need to read it again - but wondering where does Deana fit into all this?
She gets up later in the morning than me. She has her own morning rituals.
