Strong Morning šŸ’ŖšŸ½

Breathing deeply. Eating vibrantly. Ready. Discipline. Integration. Options. Nourishment to carry me through my morning.

Do you plan your meals?

I got my first mammogram! šŸŽ€šŸ’

I closed out 2025 and stepped into the New Year by centering my health and overall well-being. My week off work was dedicated to preventative care and routine maintenance, and this mammogram was a big part of that.

Early diagnosis and treatment save lives. I’m deeply grateful for health insurance that covered the screening—and for the courage to show up. A few notes from my experience:

āœ”ļø The process is super fast.
Two images of each breast. About a minute of set-up and positioning and roughly 15 seconds of actual scanning and holding your breath each time.

āœ”ļø Minimal discomfort.
The technician made sure my breast was positioned correctly and applied enough pressure for clear images, but it was not painful—just a little uncomfortable and very quick.

āœ”ļø The mental battle is real.
I absolutely overthought everything the morning of my appointment and even felt a little woozy, but I reminded myself why I was there and did it anyway.

As a Black woman, I know how important it is to prioritize annual screenings and make lifestyle choices that support long-term health—nutrition, movement, rest, stress management, and listening to my body. This is one of the ways I’m choosing to love and protect my future self. šŸ’—

If you have questions about breast cancer and screening guidelines, here are a few trusted resources to explore:

– breast cancer info & screening recommendations

– education, support, and resources

This year on , I’ll be sharing more of my health journey and practical steps to live well—body, mind, and spirit. If you’ve been putting off your mammogram, consider this your gentle nudge. 🌸

ā€œAnd we know that all things work together for the goodā€¦ā€
ā€œAnd we know that thy food is thy medicineā€¦ā€

10:30 AM Feeling like an elephant was on my chest, late for the doctor

12:00 PM Talking to the doctor about no improvement in my PFT after another 4 weeks on new meds. More prescriptions, back on prednisone and antibiotics for the third time in about 4 months.

1:00 PM Bloodwork. Terrible stick

2:00 PM Pick Up Scripts

3:00 PM Pick up lunch & see granddad

4:00 PM Eat in frustration and begin to do research and figure out a plan

5:00 PM Cry and nap

6:00 PM Massage and reset

7:00 PM Arrive at health food store ready to take on trying new things, reviving old things….

10:55 PM Grateful….i felt every feeling today but road home listening to Brave by Jessie J! I know that I’ve got this. We had dinner and drank some of my new tea. I go to bed with gratitude and looking forward to a new day with a fresh start

So….I doctored. I gave all my blood. I cried. I napped/ I remembered. I massaged. I resolved. Then I carried my wonderful self to the health food store to make these adjustments. Casein protein and peas are two items that I found out are deep in my diet and I have allergies.

So…I’m doing something about it.

That’s the post. Warrior girl. I remember who I am. I’ve done this before. Change is who I am. 2024–I pivot.

Nutrition. I remember me. 2023 was full of transition, triumph and a couple tragic moments, if I’m honest. The swift transitions. New home. New job. Flooded home. Sometimes chaotic job. New gym. New grocery store. New routines. New patterns. New ways of being. Let’s just say I didn’t plan for how my consumption and overall nutrition would be affected. Home under saw dust; order Door Dash. Super tired from all the things, carry out; carry out; carry out.

2024 has focused on recalibration. I can give up laundry or even cleaning, but I enjoy the process of cooking and creating. Even more, creating healthy meals that just plain delicious.

So…here goes my restart. Meal prepping; consistent nutrition. These are super simple and yummy—oven roasted cauliflower and balsamic Brussel sprouts.

Yummy, nutritious, divine.

There is a season for everything. As I recalibrate my physiological needs for this season, I find the need to get re-rooted in my natural roots.

I got lost in the health food store this afternoon adding natural substances to my toolbox to help my body recover from everyday stress.

I am proud of the adjustments that I am making to ensure that I am and living into my value of

The nutritionist was amazing and provided information and caution. My hope is that with more tools at my disposal I can better manage asthma and anxiety symptoms as I strengthen my immune system.

Rest. Reset. Restoration.
