Coffee, Ashes, and Wildflowers
There’s a particular kind of quiet that arrives with the first sip of coffee—a small ceremony to begin the day. For survivors, this ritual carries extra meaning: warmth in the hands, steadiness in the body, and a return to what feels familiar.
Rituals don’t demand drama; they invite presence. The kettle’s whisper, the bloom of grounds, the inhale of steam—each motion signals that you are here, and the day is beginning.
On the back porch, sunlight meets the warmth of the mug. This isn’t multitasking—it’s a pause. A sanctuary. A rhythm that honors both healing and hope.
Let this moment welcome the day.
My Cozy Keto PSL Ritual
There’s a quiet kind of joy in rewriting old rituals. For years, the Pumpkin Spice Latte marked the start of fall for me—a sweet, spiced signal that the season had arrived. But as my health journey deepened, I realized that the traditional PSL, with its sugar-heavy swirl, no longer fit the rhythms I was trying to honor. So I crafted a gentler version. One that still carries the scent of cinnamon and clove, but leaves behind the sugar crash.
Is it as indulgent as the original? Not quite. But it’s enough. Enough to feel cozy, intentional, and aligned with the life I’m building—one sip at a time.
