The Power of Finding Your People ✨

To anyone who has followed me, liked my videos, reposted or shared my videos, I celebrate YOU. You built this community and you make a huge difference in not only my health journey, but so many others 💜

A little over a year ago, my insurance connected me with a chronic illness counselor. One of the tools we used was this Wellness Wheel—designed to help evaluate all the key areas that impact health.

When I first filled this out, I broke down in tears.

The area that hit me hardest? Support & Community.

I felt alone in my lupus journey—isolated by symptoms, misunderstood by those around me, and unsure who could truly relate. But something inside me said, “What if I reach out?”

So I did.

I posted about my journey. I shared my bad days. I shared the funny moments. I talked about the ugly, the painful, the real. And you—this community—showed up.

Today, I feel surrounded. Encouraged. Seen.

And for anyone who feels like I did, just know: this community is real. It’s growing. It's full of warriors who GET IT.

Let’s celebrate every person who ever shared their story, showed up to a support group, or walked for awareness. This is not just a moment. It's a movement. We are no longer invisible.

Finding Strength in His Embrace 🩷🙏🏾
When you’re feeling weak, trusting in God can be like a warm hug on a tough day. It’s okay to lean on Him when you’re not feeling strong—His strength shines through when we’re at our lowest. When you put your faith in God, you’ll find that He has a way of turning those heavy moments into something
