Recent News

Last month there were some news stories that were rather disturbing. Rape is never an easy subject, but to hear claims of rape that were later retracted in an attempt to maintain a relationship were upsetting.

Ladies, please know your value. Realize that God closed the door to that relationship for a reason. Why put yourself through the trouble of being arrested on a misdemeanor charge that you may have to explain when you are applying for a job? Is the man really worth that much trouble because he doesn't want to be with you anymore? I don't believe so. Let it go and say thank you God for removing that distraction to your plan for my life. I can attest to this because there were times when I questioned why a relationship ended. Now, I just say that wasn't the one for me. I have learned that some men don't mean what they are saying and they are only saying it because they want to make you happy.

My Keloid Journey

My keloid scars have been a part of my life since I was about five years old. My earring got caught in a boy's sweater and he moved and yanked it right out. As I got older, more scars developed and never knew why or the cause. My childhood with scars was not an easy one because I looked so different than the other kids and they were not very nice to me. Middle school was rough because of PE... OMG, the girls were brutal and that made me very uncomfortable about changing clothes in front of other people. It did not make it easy to help the battle of the fluff. LOL! It was easier to cover them up. I cannot recall the exact time frame, but I recall two doctor's appointments. One was at Lackland AFB and the doctors did not know what my keloids were and wanted to do a biopsy. My dad did not like what he heard and scheduled another appointment with a dermatologist at Fort Sam. The treatment was to inject the scars and that was very painful. My dad could not see me going through t

My Keloid Surgeries

Since I was about 14 or 15 I have had multiple surgeries to remove my keloids. They have not been easy surgeries and the recovery has been just as painful. In my recent post, I shared that I had to have a local anesthetic which was administered around each scar and when it wore off, the doctor had to stop the surgery just to administer more anesthesia. After the surgery, my chest was open and looked like a bowl of mashed potatoes is what was said. The aftercare was to keep the open wound clean with hydrogen peroxide. I did not manage very well and in my first after surgery appointment, the doc sat me in the chair, put gauze on my chest and just started pouring the hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound. Still to this day, I am unable to handle the sound and smell of peroxide.  My next surgery was on my face and a scar on my right shoulder. It was on the bra line and the health insurance company approved that part of the surgery but the doctor covered any related costs to remove the o

Stay Encouraged

As I was deciding on what to write this morning, I saw the quote below posted by Joel Osteen on his Facebook page. “God has already prepared the opportunities you need. Don't accept defeat, depression or lack. Supernatural promotion and increase will seek you out. Just keep honoring God and blessing others.” This is just what I needed to give me encouragement today. The girls and I helped a ministry distributed fresh produce and juice to about 100 families this weekend. Never did I imagine that taking a few hours out of my weekend to help bless someone else would bring so much joy. Not only did it bring us joy, the girls want to do the same thing in our own neighborhood. They made sure that they packed a bag of produce and juice for a friend of theirs. This surprised me very much and made me smile. Just because one person has the opinion that you cannot do a specific job, don’t let that get you down or keep you down. Yes, we get knocked down every now and then, but how you ha
