The Blogger Union has partnered with CreativeMornings/Miami for a collaborative storytelling marathon. Tune in to read the story of our city told by local creatives, bloggers and entrepreneurs.

Do you want to take over the CreativeMornings/Miami blog and share your take on our community? Email Paola at info@thebloggerunion.com and weâll get working on it!
The Morning Momentum series asks creatives across the city to share a âMorning Momentâ â an image of something unique, odd, enriching or detracting from their morning routine.
Today â the voices that point us to what we see and where we gather.Â

One of my morning rituals includes drinking hot water with lemon every morning. It has many benefits including balancing your pH levels, flushes toxins, strengthens the liver, and increases energy.Â

Before muddling the trajectory of the day with news, notifications, and requests, I meditate. For 20 minutes, joined only sonically by the ambivalently territorial rustlings of a neighborhood cat, the churning hum of early summer air conditioning, and the distant snore of a covertly dormant bum, I sit in my garden.

Here’s my morning routine. This guy. Zuko. Ironically, I’m not a morning person. I love to sleep in, love to lay in bed and read the news or just day dream about the coming day but this guy keeps me on schedule. He gets his morning meal and walk and there is NO WAY he’s going to let me forget that. Before my girlfriend and I adopted Zuko I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to handle the added responsibility of a dog on top of a crazy start-up schedule. Now I’m not too sure how I survived without him keeping me in check :)

I don’t do mornings - the last time I was out of bed in the am was my CreativeMornings talk - but my first piece of inspiration on most every day is a vault filled with books, each of which I’ve carried or dropped or judged by its cover at some point or another.Â
Location:Â The south wing of Bookleggers Library, a space closed to the public filled with books for the public.Â
