Unleash the Creativity

 Calling all my DIY addicts...
I am not a very experienced DIY girl at all..let me make this clear before starting this post!! BUT I do LOVE DIY projects.. Hence this post! ;-) DIY projects mean the most to me because they have meaning behind them..there was thought & love into the creation; I cherish those creations a bit more.
My favorite of them all.. paintings!  I am not an artist but abstracts, I love.. and I love creating something so weird for it to turn into something so beautiful.  I could sit on pinterest for HOURS just searching, pinning, & admiring the beauties of the arts & things I'd love to re-create one day.. With the added time I have on my hands these days...sitting & waiting, it has brought out my inner artsy-self & I'm in my "I wanna paint & create more" esp just to redecorate more at a lower cost. And who doesn't love to paint every once in a while??!! :-)

Making of a Masterpiece::My own to come!::

On the health front, because I know some of you are pretty interested & are inquiring.. I am in a waiting period at the moment.. which BTW is VERY difficult.. to sit around & just wait..wait..wait.. Everyone else who has been in my very position I honestly don't know how you got through this period without killing someone or going insane! It's driving me crazy at times, which is why I am trying my best to stay as busy, active & positive as possible.  My body only lets me be as active as I can, which isn't very much but I am testing those levels every day.  I am in a considerable amount of pain, but I am handling it to the best as I can.  God is with my daily and he is getting me through these tough moments.  Thanking God everyday for giving me my strength to get through the next day & giving thanks for just being Alive, bringing me THIS Far & bringing me the hope that there IS that light at the end of the tunnel that I WILL get to for my everlasting peace of healing & hopeful "cure" to a better life!! Thank you God & everyone around me for their daily support, love & just being you!! <3

When life throws you lemons..

Words very heavy in my heart.

 Just living with a chronic illness has it's own struggles day in & day out.  Keeping my strong faith helps me keep my positive attitude throughout this entire process, set backs, difficulties & struggles, good & bad days: all of the above.  It's the knowing that there is a higher power above ultimately making that end decision & he is in ultimate control of everything; God is Good & he will make everything better.(This I DO believe)  Through all the financial struggles, insurance issues & difficulties & uncertainties going on, I have true faith in God that through these deep waters, he is my strength, my refuge, & he will show that miracle when it is time to shine!  Lesson from this blog isn't just for those struggling from a chronic illness or disease; it's for everyone! Everyone has daily struggles, whether it's a career struggle, reaching a goal, fighting your inner self, whatever it may be:  the key is to KEEP YOUR FAITH.  You can't reach those goals & dreams without faith in yourself & a higher being.  Losing faith is why you're always starting over & why things fail constantly.  Stay in tune with yourself & keep your faith; you CAN do this, what it is!

Always remember to keep that faith!! ✞

When I am afraid I will put all trust in you. Psalm 56:3 

Trust in the lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

With Love <3

Blog Virginity!!

I said it!! This is my official post… It won’t that substantial just because it’s pretty late, and I took too long trying to figure out just how to work this dang site!! HA!  I have started this blog as somewhat of a therapy for me, but also for some documentation as well for the upcoming months, years & so forth with my health condition.  As many of you already know I have a pretty chronic health condition, that unfortunately isn’t going away… CP – otherwise known as Chronic Pancreatitis.. and with that I’ve got a few other issues.. chronic anemia, because of the chronic inflammation that won’t go away within my body, Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, a complication from having my gallbladder removed & chronic migraines (not a complication from my CP but a complication all in itself) lol.  Along with all of these issues, I have a LONG list of medications I have to take daily, along with a nice long list of meds I’m allergic too.. along with developing a lovely allergy to tegaderm this year with my PICC line I’ve had inserted.. something no one wants to develop.. (for those who don’t know what tegaderm is, it’s a dressing similar to a band-aid that is clear & pretty large to cover a sterile dressing or IV) Well it looks like I’ve rambled enough tonight.. I’ll update more tomorrow & go into more details about my condition, surgery etc tomorrow. :)
Goodnight for now. XO
