💜💜May is Lupus Awareness Month💜💜
Purple butterflies, pups, and a purpose close to my heart.
Many of you know our grooming salon is a one-on-one space full of love, patience, and care—but what some don’t know is that much of that love stems from my mom. She’s not just my biggest supporter—she’s a fighter. She lives every day with lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease that often hides behind a smile but carries real, exhausting pain.
Watching her live with such strength, grace, and stubborn courage is what taught me how to care so deeply and show up fully—for my clients, their fur-babies, and the people I love. Her fight is my fight, and every May, I take a moment to shine a light on the strength of lupus warriors like her.
Now, let’s be real—it’s basically always Lupus Awareness Month in the salon.😆 Purple walls, purple tools… purple everything. But every May, we go extra purple—with special purple bandanas for our furry friends, and a deeper reason behind it all.
My mom is a Lupus warrior. Every day, she faces a battle that most people can’t see—but I do. Her strength, resilience, and heart are the foundation of so much of who I am and how I care for each pet that walks through my doors. Her fight is my fight.
So yes, we may already be drowning in purple, but this month, it means even more. It’s for her. And for every person silently living through pain, fatigue, and flare-ups while still showing up for life.
Let’s honor them, uplift them, and spread awareness like butterflies in bloom.💜
