{ Anisokoma, mon amie }

In Bamanakan, or Bambara, "Anisokoma" means good morning!

Greetings are very important in Malian culture...but I'll speak more on that later.

Each morning, the sun says hello as it peaks above the horizon. 

I tip toe out of my room at about 6:45, with my yoga mat in hand, just in time to catch the morning sunrise, 

I put a pot of water on the gas stove, 

and sip some tea as I do some yoga and even run a few laps around the roof...

What a better way to start the day than with a greeting from Mr. Sun? 

I love it.

And if you know me, you know I looooove anything to do with my sun. 

I love Mali!
