Following the news of the abnormal MRI result and hearing the term Autoimmune Disease , as a possibility, I did what any rational person would do, I went to Google. Let me be the first to say that sometimes when you hear certain terms and get results from a doctor that might be a little scary, going to Google can make you loose sleep, this was not one of those times. With copies of results and focused memory, Google was very very helpful. Especially in terms of how to prepare for what was to come next....The Neurologist. THE NEUROLOGIST As I walked into the Neurologist office, my stomach felt like it was doing summer salts and my heart seemed to be racing. Thankfully, when the specialist walked in he had the most calming demeanor and energy about him that screamed positivity. He  went over the result with me and immediately ruled out Multiple Sclerosis (M.S) , judging from the white matter lesions on my MRI Images. Can I tell you I breathed for the first time, just in that m...

Hey! I am so loving being back and blogging. I appreciate all the love and taking a minute out to say "Thank you!" So for all that follow, there was a period of time where I was completely M.I.A and for good reason. Life filled my plate with every and anything possible, it all was just way too much.

Hello Mommas 😊 ! I have been gone from the blogging radar for way too long. I pray everyone is walking is peace and light. SOCIAL MEDIA PAUSE A mother’s job is never easy, dull or eventless and being honest, where I pretty much keep it together, life got to me and I had to pull back. Not only from blogging, but also from social media in general. Like most of us, I fell prey to how others supported and viewed me and my life, based on likes, shares, comments, etc. It is so easy to get lost in the acceptance and validation of others, where often, they have no idea of your ‘real’ life. I found myself depressed and exhausted from trying to find the right picture, caption, hash tag, right time of day, right day of the week and the list can go on. I had to stop. I had to breathe and be present. ENJOYING THE MOMENT So instead of trying to capture moments, I choose to enjoy them. Which led to inspiration and appreciation for the little things. One of these moments occurre...
