Hello Everyone!
Before I got sick back in August I was starting a Sunday reset routine in addition to my Sunday Skincare Routine. I'm currently having a throat ache I'm thinking it due to weather and hopefully nothing else so I need this weekly reset.
Since my throat hurts I didn't wash my hair this week, but the past few weeks I've been using these products from the Sea Moss Collection by Curls. My hair feels so soft and more manageable when I use products from the this collection.
Hello Everyone,
As you can see for my photo the leaves are changing colors as we continue the Fall season. I think life is a lot like the leaves, life is always changing.
My life has been a constant season of change especially since my mom died on the 4th of July. That was the day my life changed forever. When she first died I was completely devastated. I mentioned this before, but the morning after she died I was so angry not that she died, but that I woke up. I just wanted to be with my mom. When she died it was hard for me to look at myself in the mirror knowing that I look just like my mom. Four months later I still hurt. I think about her everyday and I miss my mom so much. She wasn't only my mom, but my very best friend.
The moments when I feel sad, I like to think of the happy memories of my mom. She was so full of life and I know she wants me to remember our happy times and all that she instilled in me to be the woman that I am and the woman I want to become. In the midst of all my grief I am thankful for the 37 years my mom was in my life.
In August I found a new lease on life because I could've lost my own life. I was so sick with pneumonia, sepsis, and covid. That first hospital stay still traumatize me knowing that I could've died. I still struggle with that. I'm thankful that I was able to recover from those illnesses sooner rather than later. I'm still having some complications, but I'm not as sick as I was before and for that I'm thankful and blessed.
I started blogging again to channel my feelings. Everyday isn't a bad day, but I do have my bad days that I struggle with my mental health and physical health. Some days I'm harder on myself than others and I don't give myself enough credit and grace. In life we just the best we can and take one day at time. Challenges can make you feel like maybe I deserve all the bad things I feel and going through even though that's usually not true. Life just tends to happen. In this season of thankfulness I'm thankful for a lot, especially lifes basic necessities a home, food, etc.. No matter what you go through it's always some in your life to be thankful for.
Hello Everyone,
Hello Everyone!
I know the last few posts have been about my health and overall life updates, but today I want to share a few of the recent products I received. I received some of these products when I was in the hosptial and others once I was home.

Hello Everyone!
Some of you may have wondered with everything I've experienced the past few months have I pursued therapy. The answer is yes. I like to think of myself as a woman of God and I pray constantly and keep faith even when I feel lost. In addition to my faith I also feel that therapy helps me cope. Over the years therapy, has helped me put things in perspective in my life. This time I think I do have a lot of work to do in trying to balance my life and cope with my thoughts and feelings.
One thing I realized is when to know to walk away. I mentioned I recently started a new job a few months ago, but Friday I officially resigned. To make a long story short, no job is worth being mistreated, taken advantage, and making my health a last priority. I was telling my therapist that I felt free when I quit.
My therapist gave me insight on struggling with ruminating thoughts...I thought I'd share it with you all incase you struggle with the same issue. now that my brain is In a safe space. It's like Alexa...when she says to much and you would say Alexa stop, the same applies with my thoughts. I never thought about it like that, but it makes a lot sense.
Monday is a clean slate, I have a new job. Still doing what I love. I'll post more about that in an upcoming post. I'm looking forward to this new opportunity.
Hello Everyone!
Before I start today's post, I want to thank everyone that sent me messages, etc concerning my recent health. I've been going through a lot lately and it does help to know there are kind people that care.
I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and I had a pretty good visit. No covid 🥳 Pneumonia is clearing well. My lungs sound clear and my heart sounds good. My doctor said I'm healing well and continue to get rest and drink fluids for the rest of the week.
I feel so blessed that I'm feeling better. Last month I could've died the first time I was hospitalized with pneumonia and sepsis, that caused a high blood sugar. The second time I was hospitalized I had both pneumonia and covid. I was so sick and I've been through a lot personally and medically. God has a purpose for me to still be here and for that I'm grateful.
Hello Everyone,
As for today's title you can see that I'm back in the hosptial. I was only home for 10 days before I had a medical relapse. Thursday I felt badly and noticed my cough came back. The cough was bad this time I started throwing up at home. I had another fever and chills. I decided it was time to go to the ER that night.
I was feeling miserable by time the ambulance got to my house, but not as bad or disoriented as last time. I threw up again when got to the ER.
This is my first time getting covid. I'm unsure of how I got it since I wear my mask. The only time I left my house was Tuesday to go to my primary doctor for my follow up. I wore my mask. The ER doctor said since my body was immunocompromised from the pneumonia it was easy to get Covid.
I still feel pretty badly, but I was told that I shouldn't be here 15 days like last time. This time I'm going to get more rest. Hopefully I won't have another pneumonia or covid relaspe.
If anyone wants to help me financially sustain until I go back to work, please consider donating to gofundmepage. I would greatly appreciate it.
Talk to everyone hopefully soon
