🌻 Put Your Sunflower Blinders On 🌻

By Lady Flava

There are moments in life when the noise around us becomes too loud, too toxic, too distracting. When we’ve cried enough tears, tried to explain ourselves more times than we can count, and still feel misunderstood or targeted… we must find another way.

Today, I found my way.

I call them sunflower blinders—a beautiful mental image I now carry with me to work and into spaces where I need to remain grounded and unaffected. Like a sunflower turns its face to the light, I too choose to focus on the warmth, the truth, and the growth ahead… not the shadows behind me.

This blog was born out of pain, but also out of the decision to reclaim my peace. I’ve experienced injustice, manipulation, and false accusations that cut deep. But I’ve also been reminded that out of all the people in my workplace—only four have brought negativity into my life. The rest? They uplift me, support me, and remind me who I am.

So why should I give my energy to the four… when I have blessings by the hundred?

Putting on your sunflower blinders doesn’t mean you’re ignoring reality. It means you’re choosing to honor your truth and your wellness. It means protecting your spirit from those who drain it. It means staying focused on your purpose, your growth, and your joy.

This wasn’t easy to write, but it was necessary. For myself, and for others who may need this reminder:

✨ You are allowed to protect your peace.

✨ You are not required to carry the weight of someone else’s darkness.

✨ You are not alone.

Turn your face to the sun, my friend. The light still belongs to you.

With strength and grace,

Lady Flava
