What's your morning ritual?

I wake up at about 5:30 and then go for a morning walk about 6 either around the neighborhood or on the Aliso Creek Bike Trail.

I pray the Daily Office so on this walk I do my morning prayers and also play a little PokemonGo.

When I get home I will make a pot of breakfast tea and turn on some reruns on TV since the news is mostly bad these days.

What’s a topic that fires you up, or that brings out the most passionate side of you?

Travel, spirituality, human connection. How humans are the same but different.. different but really also the same. Controversial topics that are considered taboo, or might be too much for this platform, topics that are generally misrepresented in mainstream media or outside of the group of people that are most severely affected.
When people deliberately misunderstand or take the most unhelpful view of a topic. Ex: feminism. It literally just means that everyone should have equality in dignity, autonomy, and choice. Nothing more, nothing less. But people misunderstand it to mean man-hating or women being against other women who want traditional roles and any number of other things. That disingenuous framing only serves to undermine the movement and take equality away from all of us.

As a recent new grad who went through the whole application process, I empathize! It can be harrowing but hang in there! You will get through it. :)

Hey, I was in a similar position 3 years ago, but in the end, everything fell into place. I also write poems and would love to exchange our creations and learn if you'd be interested. :)
