ASipOfFlava|Today I Went Into Clinic
Today I went back into clinic for the first time in 2.5 months. It felt good to put on work clothes — and my signature leopard — but it also showed me exactly where I need to rebuild. Some days aren’t about proving strength. They’re about listening to your body. Sip sip ☕ New post…

ASipOfFlava|The Week Ended Perfectly
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.…

ASipOf Flava|Reflecting On A Sweet Spot in My Day
Some calls are routine. Some are rushed. And once in a while… one becomes a sweet spot. A little anxiety. A slower tone. Clear steps. And somehow… we both ended up laughing. Wednesday A Sip of Flava is about a phone call that reminded me how powerful calm can be. Sometimes it only takes patience…

ASipOfFlava|Why I’ve Been Quiet
Not everyone understands why I’ve grown quiet. Why I’m not out and about. Why I’m not constantly calling or texting. Why I seem content inside my own space. But this season isn’t about disappearing. It’s about healing. Vegas was loud. Coming home was necessary. And rebuilding doesn’t require an audience. I’m not pulling away from…

ASipOfFlava| I Miss Getting Dressed for Work
Two months at home… and I realized something. I don’t miss the phones. I don’t miss the commute. I miss the red coat. This Saturday A Sip of Flava is about healing, identity, and why sometimes getting dressed isn’t vanity… it’s vitality. ☕️🌻
