I’ve never went to pastry school
But a baker I am,
Maybe one day, I’ll add to the list-
home made jam.
Working in my own kitchen while I raise and grow babies too,
I won’t lie, never clocking into a serving shift wouldn’t make me feel blue.
An ideal day looks like this-

Everything felt broken,
I hated the outdoors.

It’s being home for bedtime⁣
And adequate sleep too.⁣
Slow down activities-⁣

just to name a few.⁣
Fresh baked bread more often than not⁣
Me? Who would’ve ever thought. ⁣
Every day I change,⁣
Old me would think it’s so strange.⁣
We’re not chasing the money or the beers⁣
Just staying aligned despite any…read more
