Hello Everyone, Another Birthday is here again. Some women don't like getting older. I embrace every wonderful year! I am 41 years old today. What a life I have lead. I can actually say it has been a GREAT life. I have a loving husband & loving...

Lately I've not been blogging simply because I've been sick. For the first time since my diagnosis 4 years ago, I'm actually experiencing signs and symptoms of HIV. This has been very difficult for me to grasp. I've denied it and blamed on other...

Love, how beautiful it is! This is so important for people living with HIV/AIDS...to have someone who loves you for you and can see past the illness, that is if they are negative..I am very blessed that after all these years of being positive and...

It's my birthday today. I'm turning 31 and you, Mr. virus, its your 7th year celebration living in my body, I suppose. I realized today that i need for me and you to be civil to each other. You see, my babies are very young I need to be there for...

Sometimes I count my blessings, probably not as often as I should. I live in an assisted-living care facility and I see people in wheelchairs; with mental incapacities of all degrees. Everyone is treated well and with respect. I, with my 27 years of...

Well, well, well. Where the hell do I start??? I am going to try to be as nice and sweet as possible! I had to give myself a day to write this. It started as another thing I posted on my facebook HIV space, I posted an ugly, disgusting picture of a...

Again, it has been a long time since I have written. I returned to work, I absolutely love my job, and I do not want to give it up. Unfortunately our, so-called, system of health care, is so complex I will have to limit how many hours I work. The...

I am trying something new. I am taking time for me. I have a family that needs me and a job that is very demanding. I am finding myself resenting all of them. I love my family, but I really needed a break. I got on a plane a few days ago (thanks to...

Hello All! As I see our ranks our growing! I just read some of the posts. I, too, fear my Lab work, Maria. We're all together and alone at the same time. You are lucky you have a partner, I miss that in my life...but I am cautious. If it's meant to...

So, after watching a couple of TV programs that featured some aspect of HIV/AIDS, I decided I didn't want to write about any of them. The theme is the same. People still react to AIDS today as they did 30 years ago. I'm sure your mouths are gaping in...

"The oldest and strongest emtion of mankind is fear and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." After reading Maria's blog, a flood of memories came to my mind. I remember coming home from visiting my husband in the hospital. I...

So yeah! I was looking forward to a nice relaxing day! Away from everything...just a place where they could pamper me...release some stress. YES! The beauty salon...yay...getting my hair done, my hands and feet done. Just time for little old me to...

Should I settle for less coz I have a deadly virus which has unsuccessfully tried to kill me for the past 9yrs, made me a stronger and better woman, taught me to take better care of myself and loved ones? Should I really settle for a mediocre...

Here we go again! Yes, that is what I always say to myself. Every 4 to 6 months I go through this s**t !! After so long, I should be used to this, but I am not! I have so much fear and anxiety like 1 week, or even longer, before I go to see my doctor...
