My Notes as a Patient
My experience as a bona fide patient began in May 2021. Of course, we’re all patients simply by visiting our doctors and dentist. Prior to May 2021, I was a casual patient, someone who saw these professionals for preventative services, which I practiced faithfully and religiously. During those times, it was merely a humdrum encounter, having no real issues to maintain a full dialogue. This…
Our World of Changes!
As gravity feels like it’s slipping away with each passing moment, we find ourselves struggling to stabilize, desperately trying to avoid falling into an abyss of darkness. How did we arrive at this point? Yet, deep down, I sense that this was meant to be—a pivotal moment in our collective journey. It seems we are all characters in a film titled “Doomsday Unfolding,” where the once vibrant…

It Wasn’t a Chariot Ride: The Journey of Resilience
I did not arrive at this moment by riding a chariot; my life’s journey has been one of grit and determination, traversing a path filled with blood, sweat, fears, and tears. There were no rest stops along the way to soothe the pain of the journey—only the unwavering understanding that I had to keep moving forward. This journey has shaped the very DNA of my resilience, forging a spirit that stands…
Medical Inequities
Lack of Medical Attention and Research for Minority Category Cancers In 2021, I was diagnosed with stage 4 gallbladder cancer and accepted palliative care. Gallbladder cancer, when diagnosed at such an advanced stage, is currently one without hope for a cure. This experience has highlighted a critical issue that many patients in minority categories face: the lack of medical attention and…

Don’t Give Up
Even the best of us sometimes feel worn out by the giants of issues we face. In those moments, giving up can seem like the most justified option. However, it’s in these very moments that finding a positive perspective, one that’s realistic to our situation, becomes crucial. We were not created to give up. In those low moments, we must push through until our positive perspective aligns with our…
Guard Your Soul
Fiery darts of the wicked, aiming for your heart! Guard your soul. Control all you can and leave the outcome to God. These fiery darts are here to diminish and eliminate you. No matter the labels of these darts, guard your soul. Add gratitude and joy to your soul, the more darts thrown is the more goodness you add to your soul.

Fears & Faith
Fear can be a strategy but ultimately, it is up to each of us how we respond and whether or not we want to choose fear in life. As life evolves, there seems to be more reasons to be fearful. Fearful of the unknown and what we know, fearful for our health, our wealth, our children, our parents and the list goes on and on and on. There is so much to be afraid of, many are valid reasons, yet we need…
My Earth Angel
Ode To My Earth Angel on Mother's Day/Her Birthday
I accept the blessings of being a mother of one child, a daughter otherwise known as my earth angel. I can only say, thanks to God for sending me someone so divine, someone who gives me more love than I am worth, who sees me through God’s eyes. It sometimes appears that she tries to compete with God, to strive to supply all my needs. She believes in me and is the cheerleader of all my desired…
Pause & Ponder
Sleepers sometimes experience restlessness. Tossing and turning, blankets on then off. Feet in then out. Fluff the pillow then toss it away. Dreams are scared away. Peace is absent from rest so it does not appear. So what’s to be done to soothe the restless spirit, to invite dreams to give glimpses of reality that appears when the conscious mind has let go and is floating in a higher…

Thank You
Expressing profound gratitude for the gift of life. The experience of this gift doesn’t always feel like a good sensation. It’s packaged with both joy and pain, wins and losses and the dynamic of both the positive and negative spectrum. But through it all, it’s the best gift that even has the ability to supersede our lifetime. If I could kiss the boo boos and thank each scar for the lessons…

The Fight
What are you fighting for? Some for hate, human rights, freedom, choice and some are fighting to live. What’s the choice if we don’t fight? Well, some outcomes maybe good and some really bad. Fighting inspired by hate is definitely bad. Why can’t we all get along? Expressed by Rodney King. Why can’t we bury the hatchet? What do we gain from hate? Human rights, freedom, choice and life should…

Front, Center & Back
We want to be on the front line of a positive experience and outcome. But as a cancer patient, I feel as if I’m on the frontline of the medical studies that has concluded that there’s no hope for me. Other times, I feel I’m on the back of the line for the cancer diagnosis for research to help patients. This diagnosis impacts a majority and of course, it mainly impacts minorities. Then here I…

Double Positive = Reality
It’s cemented in my DNA to have a positive mindset. My faith has signed, sealed and delivered me through all the lumps and bumps of life. As I journey through a life threatening diagnosis, I’m constantly digging deep within to connect to my truest feeling. Am I still positively positive in this medical ticket being handed to me? I’ve searched, still searching and my sincere response is I’m…

The Sunrise Never Ages
Fascinating and full of wonder! I stare at the magnificence of the sun as it reveals amazing hope to brighten our lives. Although it seems I’ve seen it more than a thousand times, it never gets old in my eyes. Although there predictability within its appearance, its beauty and mystique is as a new creation. When I saw it this morning, I felt like a kid at Christmas opening the gift of a new day!

Measuring Life
How do we measure life? Is it by the number of days, our age? Is it by the assets we’ve gained, the luxuries we possessed? Is it by the vast knowledge and accolades aligned with our name? Is it by the love we’ve shared? Lives we’ve uplifted? Healing imparted by demonstrating that we care? Seeds of humanity planted in a world with diminishing landscape of kindness? Lets ensure we live a life…

Be of Good Courage
Stand strong and be defiant! Be that champion that will look fear in the eyes even as it glares at you. Be courageous even when your thoughts seem to attract despair. You can do it, you can make if you take one step at a time. Build your courage and speak to the voice of fear. Don’t run, don’t hide, just muscle up and fight. Be of good courage and God will strengthen your heart.

Known Yet Unknown
Once upon a time, life was governed by goals and dreams. Everyday, I opened the door of purpose, stepping into the world waiting to be explored. That’s what was known, now I’m positioned into the zone of the unknown. Their diagnosis had shifted me to a world that’s unknown. My daily routine now includes the opening of the pill box to explore a pathway away from an outcome they’ve identified…
