Not long ago I read and chuckled at a post by Mammasaurus where she lashed out at the word ritual and its "all-trendy" status making it the rage these days. Now, I love the word ritual.

Make it a habit
Working on my online course today, I am writing about evolving and creating new healthy habits, starting by considering our "crimes against wisdom" or Pranjapradha as Yoga and Ayurveda calls it.
