[Heather Ann Ferri]

I got into the habit of waking up an hour earlier and just writing. Some days nothing came out, but the consistent same time opened a vault of expression. This might be from the structured discipline that came from my training as a professional dancer. There is magic during the early morning hours that is science. A connection to something higher than yourself and not operating with a negative mind. (Ego) My second tool has always been medical meditations to be super clear and focused on the intent of why I am writing. Blessings, Heather-Ann
