What does that mean? WellI’m about to share with you my struggle,
my battle, my fight and how I won? I am a 23 year long LUPUS survivor. For
those who are not clear on what lupus is please google it but I will sum it up
briefly. It’s an auto immune disease causing the body to attack itself. It’sliterally
an invisible monster you never know from day to day what your physical being
will be like. A chronic illness because the world indicates there is no cure.
However being the spiritual person I am I know GOD Has the last say so and is
my healer.
This disease will attack your kidneys, skin, liver, heart, and any organ part internal if it’s not controlled. I was diagnosed at age 19 1990 was the year. When at this time it wasn’t that much support and doctors still indicated that lupus had about a 10 year life span. Just imagine at 19 years old thinking you were going to die in 10 years. Just think about that. I had a one year daughter when I was diagnosed so I was horrified. Well with the treatment I had and the doctors who took care me I am now 43 years old so you do the math. I have my days but I’m happy. Lupus hurts extremely bad. Going back after the birth of my 1st born I was the walking dead for over a year before being diagnosed. My grandmother and aunt died with this illness. I am the only living family member living with this disease and I plan on being here a long time. I even had a son who was born in 1999. Doctors weren’t too happy with this pregnancy because lupus was kind of calm and doctors wanted it to stay that way however they were afraid of me flaring while being pregnant. Throughout pregnancy when flaring you aren’t allowed to take certain medications and if you were too, you can put your baby in jeopardy of harm so for me I was monitored closely. I was high risk but guess what I had a healthy bouncing baby boy. My miracle baby is what I call him because he was born through a struggle that he and I won.
I say all this to say to you even though you go through,
in that pain you will grow through it. After a near death experience in 1998 and
as I was giving up GOD whispered I’m here. That was it I fought and I’m here today
to tell you if you are fighting a chronic illness, Lupus, Crisis or struggle
lean not on your own understanding trust GOD. I was spared for a reason and
that was to encourage you to get up go get what you want and that there is life
after diagnosis. Your life still has purpose through all your triumphs.
If you are sick don’t allow the sickness to have you,
speak life into yourself. Speak on things that you know and want as if it is
already done because with faith it will be. I’m not a pastor, preacher or
deacon I just have a high quality of faith and I must share it. I don’t
apologize for it either because if my words of wisdom can touch someone I’m
fine with that. I tell my story to spot light you not me.
My mission here on earth is breathing life back into those
with chronic illness/Lupus 1ST. While promoting a higher heeled esteem life
style. You deserve to love your life, you deserve to live your life, when
diagnosed with an illness doesn’t mean that life is over. It’s a beginning of a
battle to fight for your life and no one can do that but you. Get your mindset
shifted. If you lying in the bed sick meditate, pray don’t give up. If I had
given up I wouldn’t be here today pouring into you.
I am a living testimony that there is life after
diagnosis. I may have lupus but it doesn’t have me. Lupus may live in my body
but homeless in my soul. I have a family and children who need me you do too.
You didn’t create your life! So who are you to decide when it ends? There is
life even after diagnosis. In closing I just want to share that I am a life
style coach helping women with illness, sickness, stressed out, overwhelmed. I
help you to find your purpose and create an action plan to help you obtain your
goals. When you are finished coaching with me you will have a higher heeled self-esteem
and live. You will began to walk a higher heeled esteem lifestyle. Many people
ask why I use that I say because my nick name is stiletto Queen NY because I
love stilettos. However I flipped this to give it more justice and the name
wisdom, because stilettos are very high. So I wouldn’t mind the self-esteem,
the height of the highest stiletto. LOL. I must add that my coaching services
include various coaching programs that fit every life style and Budget. I
also have a rapid transformation session that we can have to see if coaching,
or my coaching style is a fit for you. I’m a real talk coach, with empathy
because I been their but I also hold you accountable.
I have one on one coaching services that has been
designed and created with those who struggle with low self-esteem and the
inability to move forward in life and overcome obstacles because of illness or
crisis. Again I am a 23 year long Lupus survivor so I am living proof there
is Life after Diagnosis I am an author an inspirational speaker with the
signature talk message of Life after diagnosis.
My talks can also be customized to fit any audience
that are in need of inspiration and motivation.
I have a new self-help book that is called Life After
Diagnosis and it’s basically my blue print of how I was able to overcome the
obstacles of living with an illness and how the things I discovered that raised
my own self esteem causing me to love my life, love and appreciate the skin I’m
in and most of all live life after diagnosis.
