Claudia Chaverra

My name is Claudia Chaverra, and I am proud to be a part of

SUNMED™ I Your CBD Store, the largest hemp retailer in the United States, dedicated to empowering modern wellness through plant science.

Originally from Colombia, I moved to New Jersey at the age of nine and later relocated to California in 2002 with my husband, a Navy Seabee. We are blessed with a wonderful 15-year-old son and two delightful dogs.

After experiencing a tragedy in Las Vegas in 2017, I discovered CBD as a potential solution for my PTSD. Initially skeptical, I educated myself about its benefits and found hope in its use.

I am deeply grateful to fulfill my life’s purpose by helping others through CBD, offering USDA Certified Organic, third-party lab tested, and clinically proven products that set the benchmark for quality in the hemp industry. I invite you to visit one of our locations in Thousand Oaks, Ventura or Santa Clarita for free samples!

Life is Like a Cup of Coffee Motivational Short Story

The story goes like this:

A group of people were sitting in a coffee house, discussing life. As they talked, the conversation turned to the subject of life being like a cup of coffee.

One person said, “Life is like a cup of coffee. It all depends on how you make it.”

Another person said, “Yes, but you can’t control the water temperature, or the quality of the coffee beans.”

A third person added, “But you can control the amount of coffee and the strength of the brew.”

Then an older man, who had been listening quietly to the conversation, spoke up. He said, “Life is not like a cup of coffee, it’s the coffee cup that matters.

The cup is what holds the coffee and shapes its experience. And just like the cup, we need to focus on what’s around us, on what we have, and appreciate it.”

The group fell silent, pondering the old man’s words. The lesson of the story is that, like a cup of coffee, life is what we make of it.

We can choose to focus on what we have and appreciate it, or we can focus on what we lack and be discontent.

Ultimately, the cup that holds our life experiences is what matters, not the coffee inside.
