Life is not fair.

Life is not always fair but I do believe that everything happens for a reason and God always has a plan, even if I don’t see it. Last month I had aspiration pneumonia, twice, and just three weeks ago I was in sepsis. Now I am suffering once again with food that I swallow sitting in the bottom of my esophagus. My esophagus is paralyzed and does not push food through so I choke every night. The doctors are at a loss on how to help me, so I am left with a daily fight with eating. It might be easy to try and blame God on my illness, because after all I have prayed so much for healing and it jus ..read more

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, ” Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. As I sit here this morning, I can’t help but be extremely grateful for every breath that I take….literally Today, I am heading to Jacksonville, Florida at Mayo Clinic for what seems like it might be one of many visits to come. Last weekend, I was admitted to the hospital for multifocal pneumonia. Sunday morning I woke up with chest pain and shortness of breath. I didn’t know it was as severe as it was but my body was is in a fight or flight mode ..read more

For me wearing masks have been a part of the normal routine, long before the pandemic. In my city it is mandated that you wear mask inside any buildings and while it is an annoyance to do your weekly grocery shop wearing a mask in the 90 degree weather, I for one am very thankful of the precaution and sacrifice regardless of how much it is hated to wear these right now because I am immunocompromised and the risk of getting Covid is very real and honestly scary. So over the last 5 months, my daughter and I have integrated our hobby of making custom T- shirts to making custom masks. I mean, if y ..read more

While the world has stopped turning due to Covid-19, in between homeschooling, being a wife, mother, dog mom, and having fourteen zillion chronic illnesses I have found a new, uh… hobby. So I thought I would share some of what I have been up to because, you know, why not? I designed all of these. I even started an Etsy store! As you may have guessed I am making t-shirts, stickers, & decals. I even started an Etsy store! I have had a few good months health wise and this keeps my mind working and I feel productive. I hope that this finds all of you in good spirits, and good health. I ..read more

Faith over Fear.

Oddly enough, Covid-19 quarantine is similar to the life of a chronic illness warrior…at least it is in mine. Isolation, being fearful of catching something in the outside world, not knowing what comes next or what to do, there are just no hard and fast answers…So, as I watch the world learn how to cope with this sudden stop in life, I am reminded that it’s taken years of sudden halts in my life with various illnessess to learn how to cope in a tragedy. I have learned that keeping my sanity in the midst of chaos comes from within. Even though I can’t choose the things that happen, I can choose ..read more

Being present with gratitude.

Gratitude is the simplest way to shift your life perspective. In a fast paced world, with all things being advertised as “instant,” , with all things being available at the tips of our fingers, it can be incredibly easy to get distracted from taking the time to be present and actually feel a sense of gratitude. One of the things that my illness has taught me is time is the most precious gift I can give and if I am not present while giving it, it doesn’t count. I have learned that my mere presence doesn’t mean I am present. So today, on Thanksgiving Day, I am choosing to rise above all of the h ..read more
