Editorial note: I’m trying to blog from my phone. I love experiments!

Truth: I am blessed by breakfast because of the wonderful people I wake up with!

My intention is begin the day with love, light and respect. (Somedays are better than others but setting the intention helps when I get off the zen mommy track.)

I have always enjoyed a very simple breakfast–coffee with toast (eating in bed with a newspaper–a bed party of sorts.) My family likes a little more variety so . . . Buying boxes and boxes of cereal made sense–until one day it no longer held the solution.

Many, many factors went into my decision to “ban the box” from our breakfast table. Gradually, I began a morning practice of blessing my family with simple, nutritious, plant based foods for breakfast. Muffins, fruit, oatmeal and toast with yummy jams served with coffee or tea. Doesn’t that sound divine!?!

Each day we are all given the gift of a new day. What will you do with yours?
