Today, I finished my final infusion for this segment. It’s been a really rough and emotionally draining week. I cried, I worried, and I carried a lot of heavy thoughts to all of my appointments. But I’m reminding myself of something important: I matter. I also need to be mindful of where I let my mind go. Although sometimes I forget, worry doesn’t get to write my future. We don’t get to choose our diagnosis, but we can choose how we allow it to show up and mold us. It’s easy to let it break you, but don’t F’ING let it. This journey has helped me build strength, resilience, and purpose. I know I am going to be okay. This is your reminder that you will be okay too.

I chose to pivot. I had to.

There’s no way my mental health can handle carrying any more than I already have these last few weeks. I’ve been navigating so many decisions in such a short amount of time, but I’m doing it.

Living with chronic illness teaches you how to say, “I’m fine,” even when you’re not. It teaches you how to cope and keep moving forward, but let me be clear, it never teaches you how to let disappointment roll off your shoulders.

I always try my best to stay positive. I choose my attitude every day because I’ve learned how much that choice truly matters. We have to roll with the punches, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. I guess in a way, I was built for this, so we will keep moving forward!

#940 - That damn pneumonia really knocked me out. I am getting back at and trying hard. Keyword is Trying. I can’t emphasize that enough. It absolutely matters in every area of your life.

Trying doesn’t have to be big. It doesn’t mean running a marathon or lifting heavy weights. Sometimes it’s simply choosing some type of movement. Sometimes it’s lending a hand, giving someone a ride, or showing support.

What counts is not letting a setback define you or derail what lies ahead. Keep showing up for yourself. Keep F’ING Trying!

Proof of spirit is always held in the eyes, so here I am for Tuesday, June 2nd! If you know me, you know that movement has always been my answer for literally EVERYTHING. My entire life has been about refusing to let disease dictate my path forward. I keep moving, keep climbing, keep lifting, and keep finding a way.

Pneumonia, however, is not something I can play around with.

So for now, I’m doing the thing that is the hardest for me: RESTING.

I’ve made it through four days of double antibiotics and I’m on day three of steroids. Things are finally starting to look up. I’m breathing a little deeper today than I was and I am now off to see cardiology. I feel like I’m moving in the right direction. Thank goodness!

I’ll be back before you know it, hiking to mountain summits for a reading, lifting heavy weights, being a leader on job sites, and doing all the things that make me feel alive, including 😉

To everyone who has shown up with food, coffee, care packages, texts, calls, and messages: thank you. The world has made it easy to send things with the touch of a button, but what means the most is the action behind it. The effort. The thought. The decision to show up for someone. That kind of love is so powerful.

The hundreds of messages have honestly been a little overwhelming, but I’ve read every single one. Your encouragement, prayers, and support have meant more than I can put into words.

You all remind me why I keep fighting and doing the movement forward. No doubt, I promise I will keep going! I hope you always will too!

I could say a lot here about the people I thought would be my biggest supporters, but instead they chose judgment, gossip, and zero accountability for the ways they’ve hurt me. The truth is, most people have no idea what I survived while trying to hold my life together behind the scenes.

Thank God for therapy, healing, and the realization that this youngest of four was always worthy of love, respect, and being chosen… even when the people who should’ve shown up never did. If you sit in a similar seat, I hope you know your worth! Now, adjust that crown and stand tall!

You should never have to beg to be seen, heard, valued, or chosen. The right people don’t make connection feel like competition for their attention! MAKE IT COUNT✌🏾

#939 - Rheumatoid Arthritis doesn’t have to be the end of your story! You have the choice to write a new chapter and define how this disease shows up in your life. It will not be easy, but you deserve the fighting chance and how you will carry this for the rest of your days.MAKE IT COUNT✌🏾
