Morning Boogie: Livin’ My Life Like It’s Golden

Today’s Morning Boogie is Jill Scott’s “Golden”. Well the experiment has concluded. I went one week without posting the Morning Boogie. Here are a few of the results.

I

noticed a difference in my level of joy in the a.m.I felt like I was not tethered to a focus for the day. Oftentimes, the Morning Boogie is an anthem/theme song for me. I thought about an expression from my son, Jamie. “It’s like not being able to find your keys. You can’t unlock the day.”

I feel very joyful as if I have my voice back. I feel like colors are more vibrant. Life’s fragrances are more engaging. Like turkey bacon and cinnamon toast in the a.m. mmmmm.

I feel like myself again. What’s your morning routine?

Lyrics to Golden by Jill Scott

ey, oh, hey, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahI’m taking my freedom
Pulling it off the shelf
Putting it on my chain
Wear it around my neck
I’m taking my freedom
Putting it in my car
Wherever I choose to go
It will take me farI’m livin’ my life like it’s golden
Livin’ my life like it’s golden

Putting it in my song
Singing loud and strong
Grooving all day long
