June 17, 2014 · South Richmond, Virginia ·
Day 5 of being sick and day 3 of been hospitalized. My night nurse tells me nightly how I make her night so much fun, I make a team of 10 doctors laugh when they visit me in the morning and my care partner just prayed for with me because he said The Lord put it on his heart to do. He said I have a great personality and wonderful smile and I have many testimonies to give. Sickle Cell Disease will not win this battle or the next. Yes, if you wondering I feel a trip coming!!! Live love laugh learn!!! ….. Now time for some pain meds!!! NURSE!!
Won’t he do it! Without my test I could not give a testimony for the next person going through this strugle.

LIVE LOVE LAUGH LEARN
I live. I love. I laugh. I learn.
And when life tries to knock me down?
I get back up — with a little more sparkle and a whole lot more fight.
I’m a free spirit — bold, independent, and just the right amount of wild.
I started this blog years ago to spill my thoughts about everyday life…
and then life said, “Oh, you want stories? Let’s give you some.”
Since then, I’ve survived more battles than I ever signed up for — including a coma caused by Sickle Cell Disease, brain trauma, and enough storms to flood a lifetime.
But guess what? I’m still standing. Still smiling. Still speaking my truth.
This space isn’t just about surviving — it’s about thriving, even when the odds aren’t pretty.
It’s about healing out loud. It’s about living with fire, laughing through tears, and learning that scars don’t steal your shine — they amplify it. If you’re here for real talk, raw strength, and a reminder that you’re not alone — welcome to my world.
Pull up a chair. You’re in good company.
