Candle

I start my day with a 20 minute candle.  It’s a tiny little candle that burns for 20 minutes, but it helps to center me. And I don’t watch a clock or check my phone. Also, I organize a lot of my life around the traditional church year including the observances of seasons such as advent and lent. Oh, and I have a book I’ve been working through called The Art of Living In Season. I think having rhythms to my day, my week and my year are so important. I could probably write a book on this topic because I believe in it so strongly!
