"If life gives you lemons, don't settle for simply making lemonade - make a glorious scene at a lemonade stand." ― Elizabeth Gilbert

Maybe it's not just transforming the lemons into lemonade, but creating a scene—a vivid, imaginative, maybe even a little over-the-top response to life’s challenges.

It’s not just about coping or making the best of a hard situation. It’s about showing up creatively—about turning a moment of difficulty into an opportunity for expression, beauty, and even joy. It’s about refusing to stay small or hidden, even when the circumstances feel less than ideal.

The lemonade stand, then, becomes more than a metaphor. It’s a stage. A place where your values, creativity, and presence can shine, even when the ingredients you’re working with weren’t part of the original plan. Because when does life really go according to plan?

Happy Monday!
