Conversation 2: When Life Gives You Lemons… Throw Them Back and Ask for Coffee

 Hey, my fellow Blossomers!

Let's have the BIG conversation—I really thought being an adult would feel a lot more… glamorous? You know, like Pinterest boards and morning routines and passive income while sipping iced matcha or mocktails laid on an exotic beach in the sun. Turns out, adulthood is more like: “Why is my Wi-Fi acting up again and did I really just eat cereal for dinner three nights in a row?”

There’s this constant push to be “better”—more productive, more peaceful, more financially secure, more moisturized. And yeah, I’m working on it. But can I be honest? Some days, growth looks like doing one thing on my to-do list and then watching six episodes of a show I already know the ending too.

Like today, for example:

 I woke up at 6 a.m. for a meeting that was pushed back to 8. Okay, cool. In my mind, that meant more time to get myself together—write my gratitude, read my Bible, say my prayers. Productive, intentional, grown-up stuff. A few minutes before 8, just when I’m about to log in, I get an email: Meeting cancelled. We’ll update you later today with a new time.

Now here we are, after 6:30 p.m., and guess who hasn’t heard a single word from the meeting coordinator? Like Bruhhh!😬 

When adulting, we’re supposed to stay calm, keep our cool, and trust the process… but that meeting fiasco? It really rubbed me the wrong way. I’m just glad I took those lemons and made myself two strong cups of coffee instead.

Here’s what I’m learning:

You don’t have to be perfect to be progressing. You can grow and still have a messy kitchen. You can be healing and still send a risky text. You can be becoming your best self and still forget to drink water for three days straight. With 4 loads of clothes waiting patiently for your attention. SMH, but I digress.

There’s no deadline for figuring it all out.

So next time life throws you lemons—don’t just make lemonade. Be petty. Throw them back. Ask for coffee with an extra shot of espresso. Or at least a snack and a nap. Because you deserve softness in the middle of all this becoming, all this growth, and expanding mentally. 😉

Until next time,

I’m off pretending that I’m going to complete my laundry. Again. Growth, right? How are you tossing the lemons back? Let’s get conversation started, please feel free to be as transparent as you need to be, we're "growing", remember! 

And since coffee is a part of this convo today (let’s be serious, a huge part of our days), I’ll link the coffee pot I just bought from Wal-Mart, it’s from the Beauty kitchen collection by Drew Barrymore. I absolutely love it, those k-cups and Keurig’s were too much for me. But check out the Beauty Kitchen Collection, I have 4 pieces so far and I’ve chosen the black and gold collection. Nice and Affordable! Giving Opulence, Honey!!!
