Why do I wake up so early (and have so many coffee mugs)? Because I made a promise—to give God my firsts. My first thoughts, my first minutes, my first love. Time, money, adoration—it all starts with Him. And let’s be honest… prayers are better in a cute mug. ☕✨ Why do I stay so busy? Because it helps my heart. With both boys out of the house and my husband traveling often, a quiet home can feel too quiet. Staying busy helps me carry the stillness. I’ve never been great at sitting still anyway—and I’d choose productivity over TV any day. How do I have the energy to run every day? I just run. For my heart. My health. And to close those Apple Watch rings. Today is day 1,513, and at this point—it’s part therapy, part discipline, and part good ol’ stubbornness (ha). A full day in learning land, a good run, and now it’s time to make dinner for my people. I’d say that’s a pretty great day. 💛 Christian morning routine, prayers with coffee, healthy habits for moms, daily running streak, how to stay active as an empty nester, women’s wellness over 40, quiet home routines, fitness motivation, morning habits for women PrayersAndCoffee FaithFirst MorningRoutine CuteMugClub WomenWhoRun FitnessOver40 HeartHealth CloseYourRings DailyRunner MomOnTheMove EmptyNesterStrong HealthyHabits RunningRoutine GodFirstAlways 1531DaysStrong BusyButBlessed
