Hello Gypsy Friends.

To help fundraise to get me to ASCA conference to present my topic on supporting Multi Language Learners . . . I decided to create a crafty fundraiser.

I am creating and selling constellations for donations.
No set price.
A 5$ minimum donation if you need it shipped, and thats it.

I can customize with names, quotes, bible verses, the name of the constellation. Whatever you request.

Any constellation you like. All proceeds will go to support my trip to the American School Counselor Conference in New Orleans Lousiana in July.

During this time I will speak on advocacy for our multi language learners. . . Support . . . Safety. . . And empathy for a population that deserves more!!!

Link to the order form is in the comments.
Please allow 7 days to recieve order.

This will go on until July 2026.

Happy star gazing friends.

The effects that trauma can have on the body. . .its constantly shocking.

Personally. . . Its the foggy brain. The parts of my past that I thought I was handling well.

The errors made on documents I've filled out hundreds of times.

The humility ive had to face in owning my mistakes.

I truly thought I was doing a good job balancing all that was going on . . . But reflecting is showing me how badly I wad falling apart.

Today i am reminded of how truly far I havr come and how bad things had been.

I was turning 10 the year my grandma passed away. My very first best friend ever.

I always saw her smile. Even in thr hospital bed. Even post masectomy. Even after radiation

I know my mom and Uncle saw the other emotions. . But when I was with her. . . She didnt want me to see her in pain. . . So she smiled.

Mom and I quickly became advocates. If it supported breast cancer, we supported it. Anything to help a cure come to light.

I know now why I was so scared when I got my diagnosis. . . Still no cure. Lots of pink washing was the reality. And my treatment. . . Not much different than 33 years ago. . . But I i needed to be grateful bc at least these days, I had a port for chemo. 😲

I cant even fathom the amount of money raised to find a cure . . . That hasn't brought a cure.

Why cure such a profitable disease.

Its a heavy day.
I have so much gratitude for all that humbled me during

I just get sad. . . She died in the hope her granddaughter would be given a cure.

By the grace of God I've been cancer free and considered remission. . . But I'm not cured. No one who is diagnosed is ever cured. And that needs to change.

Hello Gypsy Friends.

I have been so excited since i received the message that I will be a presenter at the America School Counselor Association National Conference in July 2026.

School counselor work are actions straight from my heart. I couldn't have this job without my passion to

This year my advocacy focuses on multi lingual learners and what its like to start school in a different country!

Ive been collaborating with our ELL teacher and have learned so many valuable strategies to support our students who speak multiple languages.

As it sinks in that my proposal was accepted and that being a national presenter is really happening. . . I realized I have some logistics to work through.

I have been working hard to recover from a domestically abusive relationship. I was the sole provider for a family I didnt create, but fell in love with and became the punching bag.

Because of my limited income, medical costs and adopting abandoned pets (because im a sucker), im struggling to gather enough spare change to cover travel and hotel costs for the American School Counselor Association Conference.

Any donations and/or prayers are appreciated. You can find my venmo link in the comments and bio. Ill be accepting donations until June 2026.

Thank you to everyone who supports me and follows me. Thank you to my Gypsy friends listening to my rants. . . Im grateful.

Thank you to those who inspire me to on my life journey and dreams and to share my story. It is my hope that in my sharing I am able to inspire someone else the way so many have inspired me.

Thank you!! ❤️

The days when life feels so hard. . . I am humbled by memories of you.

But is be lying if I said they came naturally, or first even

They dont.

It starts with anger. . . With my self on why I struggle to live the life in front of me. . . Why im still here when special people healed in Heaven belong here.

Grief.

Its a mess. Its an unpredictable mess of a process.

I because im reminded of you

Im reminded of your smile. Your ability to light uo a room NO MATTER WHAT!

This is your hoodie

Just know I miss you every day, but today even more.

To all my Gypsy friends Gakobe was honored and remembered in Detroit last night. . . Follow his story

Did this little video before my surgery on Monday.

Realizing how hard it is to not let the toxic. . . Negative. . . "Stinking thinking" intrude my thoughts.

This is why The Monks speak of a constant focus on your breath. . . No matter what, our breath is always with us. . .

We cant forget it.
We cant convince ourselves its too hard to breath. . . Its always there.

To keep us alive.
To give us something to focus on other than the negative thoughts.

I didnt realize being a victim of would be more triggering than surviving for me.

So I pray.
I go back to the basics of mindfulness. I remind myself its not a trend, even though society made it one in 2020. For me. Its a lifestyle.

Another tip I learned from the Veneral Monks was to acknowledge all thoughts and then release them. . . So while I get upset at some of the thoughts that cross my mind. . . I quickly let them go and pray to be covered and protected in loving kindness.

I let go of people and situations I am powerless over. I focus on whats in front of me in the here and now.

I am grateful to know that the tips to connect with the earth are things I already do. Im not weird for standing on the earth without shoes. Its not odd to want to go lay on the rocks. Im not silly for hanging upside down from a tree. Im allowing nature to heal me and work through me.

And for that I am thankful.

Today's pre la la land shenanigans before my

Grateful for my friend Jan to take me and be my helper.

You see even 6 years after chemo. . . The long term effects linger. . . This is why its so important to be super mindful of your health post cancer.

Now to get used to liquids and healing. . . Ive done this before. I can do it. And now a good friend making sure I eat dinner and take my meds!!!
