🌻 Saturday – A Taste of Flava 🌻

Let me just start off saying…

yes, I had a rough week.

And yes… I let it get to me.

Sometimes, I can acknowledge that I’m off…

and still not be able to shift.

Work was challenging.

Staff stressed.

Patients anxious.

And it felt like there was no middle ground anywhere.

And being an empath… I absorb energy.

Sometimes I can’t even tell what’s mine

and what belongs to someone else.

So this week?

It hit me.

To the point where my body felt it…

the pain was worse yesterday.

You don’t know how good it felt

to clock out at 4pm

and just lay down.

I fell asleep with my window cracked open…

and I’m glad I did.

Because I just laid there, eyes closed,

listening to my bird friends…

and it was peaceful in a way I needed.

Poe showed up with his caw caw—

didn’t stay long, but he checked in.

And I slept…

good.

Now I’m laying here again,

back toward the window,

just listening to the sweetness of this moment

as I write this.

I believe in shifting my thoughts.

I believe in managing my emotions.

But this week…

I didn’t do it well.

And that’s real.

Because life isn’t perfect.

And sometimes we don’t practice

what we know.

You acknowledge it…

and then you let it go.

Right now…

I’m just appreciating something simple.

The sound of birds.

The quiet.

The calm coming back into my body.

And that’s enough for this moment.

Do you have something simple

you can turn to

to help shift your mood?

I’d love to hear it.

Happy Saturday 🌻
