  1. Stephanie, I love to lie in bed before I start the day and simply breathe. I place my hands in my heart space, give thanks, breathe deeply several times and then speak aloud how I desire my day to go. I call it “planting seeds.” Meditation is no longer optional for me. Thanks for being a “sister in silence.”
