ASipOfFlava|🌻 Monday Reflection: The Sweetness of My Sunday
Yesterday’s stormy Seattle skies reminded me that peace doesn’t come from the weather outside — it comes from the spirit within. Wrapped in my warm blanket, coffee in hand, I found sweetness in the stillness. Today, I’m carrying that Sunday peace into my Monday intention. Maybe you need a little of that too.
