My Set Back Will Become My Greatest Come Back!

 On January 30, 2022, I woke up with a 102 temperature. Long story short I had contracted Covid-19. I work at a daycare facility so I am sure that is where I got it from because many were already out because of it and I was getting calls everyday from parents stating they had it. The experience was non like I have ever had before and my body was as weak as water and almost non functional. I could barely get up to go tho the bathroom. It came in stages. First it was the fever, then the chills. I could not eat anything and only could keep down thicker juices and water. Then came the cough, and oh was it a cough. I kept myself drugged up on three different cold medicines and my own home remedies around the clock. I noticed after my symptoms began to get better after about 11 days my body however was still weak. I suffer from a brain tumor as you know with left sided focal sezures but guess what? I had not had a seizure the whole time I was sick. I just thought it was because my body was s

Overcome your fear! My ATL Trip

I had the pleasure of winning tickets to a play in Atlanta and the person that was going with me could not go because something had come up. This took me in somewhat of a search to find someone to go with me. Because, I had just come through the ordeal of losing my right to drive and now won the hearing to drive left me with fear! Not to drive but to go places alone because of all the stress that the nurse that called DMV had put on me! I knew that the 6 months that I was going back and forth and crying , worrying etc. it had took a toll on me mentally and I had the spirit of fear attached to me. I began to think about why I was afraid. Before all that happened I would get in my car and go alone anywhere! Then I began to pray and rebuke the spirit of fear because God does not give up a spirit of fear but of love and a sound mind. The more I prayed the more I felt that I could go by myself need less to say I took my daughter with me but God gave me a lesson in my despair and fear, and I

Healthy lifestyle while living with cancer

I n the recent days and joining various groups on Facebook I get more and more of these type  questions: What are you doing to prolong your life or what supplements etc. are you taking. My reply is always the same NOTHING. Then I preceded to tell them my faith in God has prolonged my life. Believing that he is my healer and that he will honor my request to live, is what has prolonged my life. Then I began to think of what I could tell people that I truly do, to keep me from falling apart. I tell people all the time never give up, but I asked myself was that enough? The answer was no! People want something they can do to make them feel better or take, but I think there is so much more to a healthy life being diagnosed with cancer. In thinking I came up with seven principles that I believe any person with challenges in the body (I  try not to speak sickness or cancer so we will say challenges lol) should do. I truly think I am going to develop a workshop around this. I will give you what

Learning to Fight When You Want to Give UP!

      Have you ever felt like you just can't get a break? You know what I 'm talking about, all that  could happen does happen! Maybe it was a loss of a love one or struggling with finances or like me,  SICKNESS! There are many times when we find ourselves in situations we feel like is unbearable.You just want to say the heck with all of it, curl up in a ball and Give Up but wait, you can't you have people that count on you, that love you, are you crazy!      I will never forget the day that my I found my self by myself with my three children heartbroken  loving a man that no longer loved me. I remember like it was yesterday, here I was sickly, a first lady, and now a single mother. A part time job, no money, and days to move out of my home that we bought from my family. I remember knelling down beside a bed that I always wanted it was a mother of pearl, and crying like a baby. I called my pastor and told him what had happened and he took the time out to pray for me. I

Don't let the hate of this world camouflage the God that's in you!

     I was not going to say anything about the unfortunate events of last Saturday as racist rallied in Va. However, I was looking at a live stream on Periscope and begin to see all of the hate for people of color and racist remarks that were being typed to the black female that was clearly saying to her followers that not all white people hate African Americans. The live stream got heated and they began to then also include hate for the homosexual community.My heart was saddened because of the ignorance in our country.  Can I be real with y'all? Racism comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and creeds. I had the opportunity to take a trip Hawaii and I have heard stories of the natives not liking white people. I have been around  my own family members and heard racist comments from the older generation that dealt with colored schools and integration. I have heard racist slurs between Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. I said that to say this, I know that all of this is wrong! I know that all

Face Your Fears and Overcome Them

     When you were a child did you have something that you were afraid of ? When I was a little girl there was a huge magnolia tree in our yard and the branches reach way over the house. I had a big room with a big window. There were no blinds back then only the sheer curtain in the middle. I was so afraid to sleep in that room! One night, I was asleep and a big storm started and woke me up. The wind started to blow real hard and the tree limbs began to move mannn it looked just like a monster! I started screaming and my mom came in the room to get me. I may of been five at the time. She told me there was no such thing as monsters and showed me it was only the shadow of the tree.She could not of been more wrong! There may not be imaginary childhood monsters like the boogie man, but there are monsters that we face everyday! I would like to introduce you to one of them that has taken so many his name is Cancer and he wins some and loses some; so we must be on the look out and FIGHT!
