Affirmation of the week
"I am at ease with my decision.."

When you think about making a decision you have to think somethings about who it will all affect?

Many times we will just blurt out things and you know deep down in your gut it is not the right thing to say. How do you fix your gut feelings?

Sometimes you have to remind yourself you've got the guts to start over then just do it!!

Then say "I'm sorry"

You know your gut is right!!

"I am free to let go of other's opinions"

Our gut can tell us many things from how we are feeling from what we consume which can make us feel good or lousy.
Know your gut health is very important to keeping your body up and running. The gut is what absorbs nutrient to help us maintain our organs to function properly and healthy.

"I am grateful for my strong body"

July is bone cancer awareness month and bone health month!

I am grateful that I am a live from all the trauma from amputation from bone cancer.

Building my mindset was a big key in my survival with medical treatment along with God.

Building a strong body by strengthening your bones with the right foods and of course exercise.

Building your mind around letting go what you can not change and be Willing connect to your WHY in life.

When you start building your WHY in life your body will start connecting just like the bones to the connective tissues.

Baobab Affirmation of the Week!!

The richness of nature surrounds me in love and kindness.

June 5th is World Environment Day

This month I want to focus on what is in our environment to help us grow in a healthy way.

When we go outside into the world we often show up and contribute to the world we live in.

Many of us plant seeds in the Earth
For future generations
by our thinking and making thing for earth with our own hands
But not all generations will see what we have planted because some will not go out and look and discover the world
Some generations will only settle in the pain and suffering
Many will witness their achievements
But the story is to be

The Richness of nature surrounds yourself in LOVE and KINDNESS.

That is the SEED!!

This is a bit long but please read if you want to know anything about me as an amputee 🦵🏿🥰

Sometimes life comes at you with full force and does not allow you to do everything you want,BUT you have to find a to find a way to keep you going!!

My story as a little girl I had bone cancer and now with an artificial limb for life 🫣

Once you beat your childhood cancer things still arise from the past!!😳

I caught the chicken pox’s while doing chemo therapy as a child and the chicken pox virus damaged my optic nerve in my right eye and detached my retina 😵‍💫 so yes I’m blind in my right eye!!

Now I’m the one eye one legged gal 🫨

Now fast forward about 30 years!! I developed the shingle virus (dormant chicken pox from childhood) and guess what it is in my good eye (left) Ugh!!😣 😝😣😛😣😛😣😛😣😛

Yes!! You guessed it one Sunday afternoon I went completely blind from this crazy virus!!

Of course I called my eye doctor and he met me on a Sunday afternoon in the office and after some strong steroids I could see again in a couple of hours!!

Thanks you for whoever invented steroids 😍

So now for about 10 years into this mess I have been living with this crazy eye condition and I have been taking antiviral drugs daily to keep the virus dormant 😌 you would think this would be enough!! Oh there’s more😳

Continue on as an amputee and later in life menopause hits🤪

Night sweats, bloating, weight gain, fogging thinking, sleepless nights from night sweats and pain from osteoporosis 😜

Amputee’s don’t get a lot of weight-bearing exercise so osteoporosis can be a thing!!
Plus if your are a white female,or had chemo this osteoporosis can be a huge issue 😭 so yes now I have osteoporosis!!

Well you guessed it I have put on weight and I need a new artificial limb 🦵🏿So WHY am I telling you this story!!

Never give up on yourself even though I can’t walk without pain this weekend I have to say events keep you going to see the brighter side to life!!

As many of you know I’m here not for sympathy but to encourage others no matter what your circumstances are you can find a way if you believe in yourself 🤗

I started a journey during covid to be a nurse coach for amputee’s and it has been a journey within itself but my goal is to help amputees met their goals to live their best life!!

I thought to myself I need to do some of the things that I will refer clients too!! I found a group called The Bridge Adaptive Sports & Rec who help people with a disability find their abilities 😍

I met with one of the owners Danny and he went over his resources and I fell in love with their mission just like me getting people up and moving!!

During this meeting Danny asked me to do the Flying Pig 🐷 I thought to myself this would never be possible for me since I’m 56 years old and have not rode a bike since childhood!!

Well I gave it a whirl and guess what I competed in the Fly Pig 🐷 and guess what I did it and finished the race!!! That was a huge accomplishment for me!!

How else do you display your accomplishments?? Tattoos some people do but me I laminated pigs 🐷 yes you heard me PIGS on my new 🦵🏿 leg!! I went for a fitting yesterday and one more fitting to go and I should be back to new!!

Word of advice don’t criticize how an amputee walks because not all amputees are alike and we do the best we can with what we have!! Just be thankful we are up and moving!!

Some adults walk better than me because they had an amputation as an adult and have adult muscles and my muscles never did develop that strong thigh muscle!!

So don’t knock it until you live in an amputee’s life because we have what it takes to be amazing, loving, caring, kind, giving because we know what it is like to live without 😌

Walking is a task every day to all you amputees out there be proud of yourself getting up everyday and putting on your leg and being you!!

It is a greatest gift I have been given is an amputee and I don’t believe I would be the giving person I am today if this did not happen to me as a child!!

All you amputees get out and live your life and find the village of people that lift you up like JF Rowley company has done this amazing leg 🦵🏿 above and will allow me to show off my precious pigs on my leg as a reminder you can do anything you set your mind too!! Even the Flying 🐷 Pig

Love your life 💜🦵🏿🐷
