The irony on September being Sickle Cell month is that very same month this disease put me in the biggest fight of and for my life. I won that battle but not the war as there were so many more battles that followed. I will forever be fighting I may not always win but I will never stop fighting for my life. I currently live with battle scars, anxiety, exhaustion, cognitive disability just to name a few but I have made peace with my past because I need to fight on.
Speak Life!
I matter
I am loved
I can make it
I’m hanging in there
I will not give up
I am blessed
I am a winner
I a more than a conqueror
I have the favor with God and with Man
God’s gonna get the glory out of this
I am strong
I am healted
I am whole
I can do this
Yes I can
Proverbs 18:20 says Death ad life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

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.
