I’m just laying in bed, thinking of my last show in Chicago. I miss it, I miss it all.
My healing is not progressing as I would like and it’s really grinding me down emotionally 🖤.
How do you stay positive when things feel scary and overwhelming?

I’m now able to be out and about again after a week in bed. This is my big update.
Today we went to breakfast with Miles and Amy and had big dreams of finishing holiday shopping but my energy was too low for that so we went to Memphis house to wrap some of the gifts we had already purcha...

The hits keep on coming, so I’m focusing on the cuteness.
Last night I came down with a nasty stomach flu that kept me up all night. Severe body pains, migraine, vomiting, fever, etc…

Today I started looking into a burlesque artist named Chantel Capri. Known as “Miss Anatomy” “The Enchanting Smooth Beauty” and as “The French Love Kitten”.
I received an email from her daughter, stating that her mom, Chantel Capri, was shown on the American Pickers episode feat...

“Holmes took up the stone and held it against the light. "It's a bonny thing," said he. "Just see how it glints and sparkles. Of course it is a nucleus and focus of crime. Every good stone is. They are the devil's pet baits. In the larger and older jewels every facet may stand for a bloody deed...

Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood - finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live wit...

I’m sure that you have noticed I’ve been quiet for a little while. I’m doing my best to articulate my healing process and share the journey and try to stay positive. Starting week three of healing has been difficult to say the least. I know my body is going through its healing process so ev...

Today started with no lots of changes. Big ones!
I woke to a deep sadness that Jeremy was heading back to Puerto Rico for a week, to check on storm damage, the animals, the house and our little community. He will return soon but I’m a bit of a cry baby these days.
Im still unable t...

I found this poem today. It's very sweet and a good reminder to enjoy the little things. Happy Wednesday everyone!
At lunchtime I bought a huge orange—
The size of it made us all laugh.
I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave—
They got quarters and I had a hal...
I have been wearing compression socks since the day I had my surgery. When I was at the hospital they gave me this white pair of compression socks that I can put my toes through. They were a little bit like leg warmers. It was funny because when I would put them on I look like a chicken with my w...

The up side of this surgery is that I have some down time. I’ve been spending a lot of this downtime with my kids and their puppers. These puppers are Memphis’.
In the process of processing my down time I’ve had restful moments but a terrible time sleeping peacefully. Night terrors ar...

Today started with a shower like every day lately.
I’m noticing changes in my body since the surgery. I can feel my organs shifting and finding new spaces to rest. It’s not painful per se but it’s a bit weird and alarming at times. I’m noticing that my uterus was so fucking big! My...

This photo was taken at my last iron infusion before surgery. I was feeling a great deal of pain but also a great deal of hope because it would all be over soon. I would soon have relief from the persistent pain involved with fibroid tumors.
Little did I know the fight ahead to get “back...

We took these photos a little while ago when I was back home in Puerto Rico. I just love this orange color and what day would be more appropriate for an orange and black look???

Please let me start by saying that I’m not asking for medical advice so please do not share advice at this time. My doctors and nurses are doing great at keeping me healthy.
The road to recovery is a long and winding one. I’ve heard this 1 million times before and while I have broken b...

I love this plushy that my daughter Memphis got me her name is KEI and she’s very squeezable and lovable. I’ve kept her next to me the entire time. I can’t have too many hugs in the moment so it’s nice to be able to hug her when I am feeling any type of way.

Will be together for 8 years in February. On Valentine’s Day actually. I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before. I love talking about our Valentine’s first date. Jeremy took me to see Fleetwood Mac. They were playing at Rosemont, out in the burbs. It was freezing out! Chicago has the most biting...
