“I Didn’t Ignore You—My Blinders Did”

A Bean-Filled Reflection on Protecting Your Peace

Sometimes, you just have to put on your sunflower blinders and keep it moving.

No explanations. No justifications. No emotional detours.

Just forward motion, peace in your pocket, and a little feline wisdom by your side.

You see, lately I’ve had to remind myself that not everyone deserves my energy — especially not those 4. (Yes, we all have “those 4” — the people who test your patience, poke at your peace, and pop up at the worst times acting like they’ve got a starring role in your life’s movie.)

But not anymore. I’ve officially entered my “Blinders Era.”

And no one models that energy better than Bean 🐆😻 — my sass queen, life coach, and personal boundary enforcer.

A Word from Bean:

“If your energy ain’t right, my girl’s eyesight suddenly goes on break. It’s called selective vision, baby.” 😼✌️

Some people think ignoring is rude. I say it’s necessary.

Especially when you’ve spent years working on yourself — your healing, your growth, your ability to respond instead of react.

I’m not the same woman I used to be.

I used to overthink. I used to explain. I used to replay every interaction like I was studying game footage.

Now? I sip my coffee, twirl my white hair, toss on a leopard print wrap, and let Bean do the attitude work. 😂

But here’s the truth:

Even when people try to disturb your peace, you don’t have to give them the power.

You don’t have to answer every knock at your emotional door.

Sometimes, it’s okay to just keep walking.

To smile with your spirit.

To protect your inner sunshine with sunflower blinders so thick, the drama bounces off like bad vibes on a good hair day.

Closing Thought:

If someone says, “You ignored me,” feel free to respond with a soft smile and:

“I didn’t ignore you—my blinders did.”

And if they don’t like it, tell them to take it up with Bean. 😸
