My writing routine starts the moment I snuggle up in my Parisian chair. I crack open a window, light a sandalwood or Nag Champa incense. I have to have a fresh breeze to lighten the air more. I meditate while sipping tea/coffee and begin with giving thanks to God and my ancestors.
My space is as empty as I would like it (LOL) because it leaves more space. I can’t write with a room full of things that are not a part of my essence. I plan to get more plants to hang around because I love plants and I’m more in tune with nature with having them in my room. It’s all about comfort and creating my safe space.
I’ve added more affirmations on the wall. More art like canvas as always a way of inspiration and taken away the thought of just having an aesthetically pleasing room for just looks.
