motivation, faith, forgiveness

Mientras sigo blogueando y compartiendo más de mi historia por primera vez, espero darle a las lectoras una idea de cómo una ex peluquera de Rancho Cucamonga, California, convirtió un diagnóstico de VIH en la bendición más grande de su vida.

Mi querida gente, prometí compartir con ustedes mi aprendizaje de SIDA 2024 en Múnich.

Not only do I want these things, I deserve them. So does everyone else living with HIV. Shift the paradigm. Let's talk about pleasure.

No solo quiero estas cosas, las merezco. Igual que todos los demás viviendo con VIH. Cambia el paradigma. Habla sobre el placer.

I began to understand that HIV can be a blessing, and I began to understand the most challenging thing in life. If you want to, you can get the best out of life.

Me fui enterando de que tener VIH fue una bendición y empecé a darme cuenta que, de lo más duro, lo más difícil que te pueda pasar en esta vida, si tú te lo propones, puedes sacar algo muy bueno.

I am thrilled to share that I've been awarded a scholarship from Positive Women's Network as State Lead for West Virginia to attend the upcoming Positive Living Conference at The Island Resort in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, happening September 20 - 22.

I recently celebrated my 34th birthday on July 4th and I must say it is on my top five list of favorites. Let me tell you why. Earlier this year I made it a point to do things I enjoy doing and to treat myself better.

Words have tremendous power. That dumb ass saying about sticks and stones makes sense to say to kids, because its coming from an adult perspective with the experience of having learned to deal with the pain of harsh words.

It's time to heal, to rediscover my voice, and to move forward with renewed energy and purpose. Here's to new beginnings and the power of community in lifting each other up.
