I’ve been following a Blog about Minimalism for the last few Months. A particular Post I came by (check out the Blog HERE) helped me craft a bit of an Afternoon Ritual I’ve been practicing. After the Dogs are walked I turn my phone off close the drapes, put the Fireplace Channel on, light a candle and settle on the couch with a cup of coffee, a bowl of popcorn and a Great Book. 
The next 2 hours are mine.
