ASipOfFlava\Going Into Work Today
Some mornings bring more than just coffee. Today I’m walking into clinic not only as a staff member, but also as a patient having an important conversation with my doctor about working safely while living with chronic pain. Sometimes life asks us to face hard truths and have honest conversations about what support looks like…

Sometimes self-care isn’t complicated. Sometimes it’s simply looking out the window, sipping coffee, and watching the birds remind you to breathe.

Sometimes our dreams take us back to the places where our journey began. Last night I found myself standing in the first flower shop I worked in as a young girl — but this time I wasn’t twelve anymore. I was the woman I’ve grown into, confidently running the shop, turning away bad roses, and…

One day in clinic reminded me real quick… not every space is meant for me in every season.

Maybe it’s about knowing your lane. ☕🌻

This week stretched me… but it also blessed me. A good review. A strong staff meeting. An unforgettable 18th birthday celebration. This morning I’m in my tower with cowboy coffee, choosing gratitude over noise. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pause and recognize what went right. ☕🌻

ASipOfFlava|Eighteen
They turned 18 today. I left when she was 9 — still my Nanny’s girl — and came home to a brilliant, layered, independent young woman building worlds through writing and rebuilding engines with her hands. I missed some chapters… but I’m grateful for the pages we’re writing now. Happy Birthday, Eddison. I see you.…
