I was at the store today grabbing something last minute and decided to pick up ingredients for a sandwich I used to love growing up—ham, iceberg lettuce, and Miracle Whip.
Nothing fancy. Just familiar.
But here’s the part that stayed with me—
Somewhere over the years, I stopped making it that way. Not because I didn’t like it, but because I got used to accommodating someone else’s preferences.
No big moment. Just a slow, quiet shift.
And today, I noticed it.
So I bought what I like.
When it got a little teasing comment at home, I simply said:
“That’s what I like on my ham sandwich… so I got it.”
And that was it.
No conflict. No over-explaining.
Just… including myself.
—
This is often how the work shows up.
Not in big, dramatic changes—but in small, everyday moments where you begin to notice:
👉 Where have I been leaving myself out?
👉 What do I actually want here?
👉 Can I include myself too?
These moments matter more than we think.
Because this is how patterns begin to shift—
gently, consistently, and in ways that feel livable.

You don’t have to overhaul your life to come back to yourself.
Sometimes it starts with something as simple as making your sandwich the way you like it 🌸🌼🌺
