The Sprouting Root

I HAVE THE BEST CUSTOMERS IN THE WORLD!! 🌎

There must be something in the water 🌊 that 🤔 is making people go bananas 🍌 however since retiring from the military 🪖 I've learned more and more about myself and life!

For years I was expected to make no mistakes, dependable all the time, always organized and to care 🤗 for others no matter what I was personally facing - even during my battle with cancer 🦀 I was still expected to show up with a smile on my face!

Since retirement, I've discovered that this season ❄️ 🍁🍃 🌞 looks different! I've forgotten 🧠 things, I've made mistakes 🫣 things are a lot more unorganized and I have moved a lot slower! ⛹🏻

Yet through it all my customers still showed up and support!! 🙌🏻

What I've learned is that perfection does not create connection - grace does! 🙏🏻

For every customer who has stopped by -- THANK-YOU for your kindness, your support and the reminder that grace is the greatest gift 🎁 that we can give each other! ❤️ 🥗 🥤

Today was one of those humbling "Slow Down" days! 🪻

My daughter and I accidentally locked 🔐 ourselves out today (Got to love teenagers ❤️) and we spent quite sometime outside 🥵 waiting for help.

Somehow it made me appreciate the calming and simple things even more 💜 like lavender! 🪻🪻

Sometimes unexpected things humble us and allow us to appreciate the things that we have and the good people we know. Sweet Success Bakery, LLC, Team Robinson MMA & Fitness, LLC. Pauline's Victoria Soap Co. , Dorr Farms, Lafleur's Farm, Aaron and Alysha’s Farm, Buggy . , Southern Belle's Kitchen, LLC.

So come by and see me tomorrow at Sumter Farmers Market from 12-5pm and grab a refreshing sip of Lavender 🪻 Lemonade 🍋 perfect for this hot 🥵 SC weather! ☁️ See you tomorrow! 🥤
