"I Hear You"
For my 27th birthday, me and my mother journeyed to the orange, green, and crimson wonders of Sedona, Arizona. It was a while since I last hung out with her, so I thought a four day trip out of the city together would be a needed break from the world. As a dynamic duo we toured different areas where spiritual energies would be felt. Our first stop was a Buddhist sanctuary dubbed the Amitahba Stuppa near Chimney Rock. The second was a protected ecosystem herald for its' strong electro-magnetic fields. Another was Airport Mesa; which was overrun by tourists. The third was Boynton Canyon; whose silent winds had no echoes still haunt me. Fourth, Cathedral Rock. Fifth, a gemstone shop where I bought my first collection of stones and a crystal. And the sixth, an art gallery that housed amazing ethereal and Native American Art. But none of that will ever beat my next and final experience; at the base of Bell Rock.

From Fat to Fit
A story I wrote for my sister. My story I’ve struggled with weight and the D word “diet” ewww for a very long time. Stepping on that stupid scale everyday. I tried every D word possible and they work for a minute and then stop or they don’t work at all. I would get discouraged then binge eat and then feel bad about. That would make me depressed and stress which causes cortisone levels to rise and that causes belly fat. So it was a lose lose cycle. I even signed up for weight loss surgery and was on the final step of it. I decided not to do it because it’s costly and I lost some weight and no longer qualified, but not enough to be healthy. I tried pills and diet fads, I mean I tried EVERYTHING except treating my body right. Having SLE Lupus and Fibromyalgia didn’t help either. Steroids, pain meds, psych meds, etc. I was on over 30 pills a day including insulin pills and shots. It was really bad and I was hospitalized for weeks at a time every month! I know some of yall remember. Notice I haven't been in the hospital as much. I even developed sleep apnea!
