✨HEALTH & BIZ UPDATE!✨

Sooo, I was unknowingly riding this bike with a fractured back bone. 😟

After a few weeks of experiencing excruciating back pain, scans revealed some disappointing news…major disease progression. Including a hot spot on my upper vertebrae which caused a fracture.

I work really hard to stay alive. Sometimes…a lot of times…I feel resentful that I have to work this hard at something most people don’t ever have to think about.

In those moments I have to remind myself of what I believe to be true. My soul has chosen this particular series of life experiences for a reason. It might not be what I think I want, but I trust it’s what I need from a higher perspective.

We’ve shaken up my treatment plan, and I already feel like I’m on the path toward yet another miraculous comeback story!

As I like to say: I’m a cat with 9 lives, and if my math is right, I’m only on like, number 7. 🤣

This all being said, I’m stepping back from Bella Bags for a bit to refocus on achieving complete healing! Thank you everyone for your continued support. 💖

Have you ever felt you needed to step away from it all?

I was fortunate enough to be able to do just that this last week. My mom and I escaped to Palmaïa - The House of AïA, a wellness resort that’s totally vegan!

While there, we tried a private sound bath healing, and let me tell you — it WORKED! The back pain I had been experiencing totally dissolved for two full days after that session.

Pictured: Taking a dip in one of many natural cenotes at the resort. Cenotes are filled with minerals and earthing frequencies that promote full-body alignment and healing. Now if only I could figure out how to get one of these in my backyard…😅

My “C” journey as of late has been a bit of a rollercoaster; the motivation to do anything beyond focusing on my own healing has taken priority over most everything else, and is why the Bella Bags account has been somewhat quiet lately. I’m hopeful, and I believe in better days ahead. 🙏🏼 BBs are still available for purchase, and I’m gearing up to donate another 30! As soon as I find the energy to stuff them. ☺️

I love adding candles from The Soulducate Sanctuary Candle Co. to both our donation and for-purchase BBs; they’re clean-burning, ahhh-mazingly scented, plus good intentions and magic infused into each one. 💫

Our next round of BB donations was made possible by a VERY generous direct donor! Did you know? When you donate directly, the funds stretch further. For every $25 direct donation, 2 BBs can be donated.

To give direct:

You can’t pour from an empty cup…

It’s only when we unconditionally love ourselves — and that includes forgiveness, acceptance, and appreciation — that we’re able to give others our best and highest self.

I haven’t yet mastered this; like most, I’m a work in progress!

In his book, “Energy Speaks,” Lee Harris offers an exercise for deeply loving ourselves to attract abundance.

Many people associate “abundance” with material wealth, but it can be in relation to so much more: abundance in love, joy, freedom, magic. 💫

Find 50 things you love about yourself today…can you do it?

Your prognosis is real. Only if you believe so.

I decided my prognosis was fake, and it’s why I’m alive today.

February 2020, I was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with a malignant pleural effusion. After a year of being in remission, the “C” had returned like a vengeful drunk ex-boyfriend, spreading throughout the lungs and pleural lining. One night, while I was alone in the hospital room, I did what had to be done.

I knew I shouldn’t have.

I Googled the prognosis. (YEAH, like you wouldn’t have done the same!)

3 - 12 months. My immediate sense was that this prognosis is bu****it. NO WAY. Not happening. From that moment on, I committed myself to living as if “C” didn’t exist. I strapped that prognosis to an imaginary rocket ship and launched it straight into the sun.

And here I am, two years later. On many levels, I’m healthier than the majority of C-free people my age.

I’ve met many people experiencing “C”, and among those people, there are two groups: Those who refuse their prognosis, and those who worship their prognosis. Time and again, I witness those who worship the prognosis succumb to their own self-fulfilling prophecy.

Those who REFUSE their prognosis, however? That group tends to live exceptionally longer. Miraculously longer.

As Henry Ford famously said, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.”

Some people say I’m living in denial. Like it’s a bad thing. Listen, we all have choices in this life. I choose happy. I choose to focus on finding joy, rather than absorbed in fear. I choose to be in control of my own destiny.

The choice is yours. Choose wisely.

⚠️ WARNING: People on social media may appear different than in real life.

From left to right:
• Makeup-free, wig-free, no filter (okkkkk I have lash extensions, those can’t come off right now)
• Makeup and wig, no filter
• Makeup, wig, filter…then keep swiping for a surprise

Growing up, I adolized the faces of Mandy Moore and Jessica Simpson. I envied their cute, feminine features; long, lucious locks of hair; the “natural” beauty. All were features I believed to be lacking in myself.

In middle school I started using makeup to be more like…someone else. I sadly pride myself on the fact that I was nose contouring long before Kim Kardashian made it mainstream. 😅

In high school, I had a “friend” and her mom who loved to remind me how I wore too much makeup. “Why don’t you wear less makeup?” My internal retort was always, “BECAUSE I LOOK LIKE A RAW POTATO WITHOUT IT, OK?!”

My whole life, I’ve looked at my friends, who could swipe on one coat of mascara and clear gloss and look STUNNING, and felt such…jealousy. I never felt naturally pretty enough to get away with anything less than a full face of facade.

And now, enter stage right: filters. At first, I loved using filters and felt it was totally harmless. But over time, I’ve become acutely aware of how these supposed “idealized” versions of myself are further harming an already damaged self-image.

Are filters and makeup inherently harmful?
No.

It’s all about intent.

Check yourself: Are you using a filter to express yourself in a fun or artistic new way, or, to hide the real you?

If the latter, I feel that. Let’s work on it. Here’s what I’ve been doing; share your thoughts in the comments.

• Meditating on self-love using guided meditations
• Reminding myself that 99% of social media is fake
• Focusing on all the unique things I do love about myself
• Feeling grateful, practicing gratitude
• Remembering that this face/body is simply a vessel for our real MVP, the soul
