It’s almost four in the morning and I am awake. Seeing as my alarm is set for four thirty (my preference is to teach yoga at six in the morning) I am going to go downstairs and make an iced Americano with soy/rice milk and maple syrup. This mixture makes my nostrils salivate. As the shots pour I will put in a load of laundry. When the coffee is ready I will enjoy every sip while watching Steven Pinker discuss the myth of violence from TED. Then I will shower and pick an outfit, earrings too, that will make me feel calm and confident.
