Tuesdays – Where One Cup of Coffee Isn’t Enough

Tuesdays... am I right?! The day of the week where one cup of coffee feels like it barely scratches the surface. You’re probably reading this thinking, "Michelle, it’s Wednesday," and yep, you’re absolutely right! Which just proves my point about Tuesdays even more! But that's where coffee and reflection come in to save the day—or at least make it more bearable!

Yesterday started off as usual—coffee, kids, making lunches, more coffee, chasing everyone around to get ready for school, more coffee... you get the picture. But what I didn’t leave time for was a moment of reflection, gratitude, or even a deep breath, and that sense of fog stuck with me all day. Like many of you, I had a long day of unexpected errands, trying to run a business, keep my kids healthy and happy, all the things. By the time my head hit the pillow late last night, I finally had a minute to reflect, and in that moment, I realized just how important those quiet minutes with my first cup of coffee really are. How they set the tone for my day, and how much I need that peace to feel centered.

So, I’m here to remind you (and myself!) to make time for those simple, grounding moments in your day. Not every day is going to be perfect or even pretty, but every day is a gift—one that I don’t take lightly. I’m a work in progress, but this morning... this morning I poured my first cup of coffee, looked outside, and smiled. Because today? Today is going to be a good day!
