I believe it was sometime in November or early December of last year when I had my yearly mammogram. I really can’t remember the exact date but what I can’t forget is the phone call that followed that appointment. Since I have been getting my mammograms in my early thirties I have never had a phone call. I always get my results in the mail.
That day was different. They asked me to comeback for another appointment to have another mammogram done. You probably now by now my anxiety started to kick in, but being a person of faith wasn’t as bad as I thought I would react. You should never let your nerves take over. I just kept praying and kept focusing on what they said, they needed to do another mammogram to get a better view of my breasts, right? No need to get too excited.

I make it to my appointment and my mammogram gets completed. The nurse, was so sweet, she asked me to step outside and wait for the doctor to take a look before she lets me go. She comes back to let me know after few minutes that the doctor is running behind and that it may take a little longer than expected that she is going to transfer me to another room so she can continue on with her patients. Haha! I laughed because I’m thinking, I have been in this field for a long time and I know something here is not good, however this nurse is doing such a great job trying to ease my mind but unfortunately it wasn’t working. I asked how long it may be and she said 15 to 20 minutes. Those 15 to 20 mins became hours to me. I slowly started to cry. The only thing I could think of was my precious daughter. I really started questioning God. Why would he be so gracious and send me my baby if I wasn’t going to be able to enjoy her? At that point I wish you would’ve been in my mind. I completely mapped out how I wanted to spend my days with her if I had cancer. Then I said to myself, wait a minute Janitza what are you going to do if thats not the case? Since that day I decided to plan how I wanted to spend my time purposely with her and my loved ones because life is so precious and we can’t start letting life happen to us, we have to intentionally live our lives in a meaningful way.

Nothing was found in my breasts. Everything came negative, it was just small cyst and we have nothing to worry about. We tend to wait to make plans when obstacles and adversity knock on our doors instead of being proactive. I hope you can join me in living a meaningful life with your loved ones and be intentional about how you want to spend the rest of your days and make it happen.
My intentions were to have some pictures taken of the two of us and she ended up taking pictures of me. She had a great time and I had a great time watching her enjoy her photo session.

Be Thankful

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”
-Oprah Winfrey

Today I’m very thankful for this rainy day. A day that can give you clarity even when is blurry, a day that can give you hope even when you feel hopeless. The same way I show up for people, people show up for me. Today I’m thankful because through my daughter I see that little child in me.

Play

Children don’t need more things. The best toys a child can have is a parent who gets down on the floor and plays with them.” ~ Anonymous

A Sunday Morning 🌄

This Sunday morning Keyani and I went to Starbucks for a light breakfast and then we went for a walk.

We enjoyed mother nature and had a lot of fun going to a different place we have never been at the JMU Arboretum.

We played with rocks, sticks, flowers  and leaves. Every new step ‍♂️ of the way I kept sharing with her positive affirmations. If she was trying to walk by rocks I would make sure she knew she could do it without holding my hands and that if she fell it was ok to get back up. It was funny to hear her repeat my words. I know she is listening.

She would say hello to people that would walk by her, she would say “have a good day”. “Good morning”. It was just great to hear her trying to interact with adults since she has been spending most of her time just with us and no much contact with other kids. She is learning a lot. I’m so proud of her.

What things do you share with your kids to show positivism?

God Bless

Once Upon A Time…

Once upon a time there was a woman that prayed and asked for peace in regard to being able to have a child or not. Then one day she was surprised and here is the answer. Her happiness is about to be 2 years old next month. Have you ever prayed, asked about something? Have you ever asked or prayed for God to give you the strength to deal with a situation? Answers sometimes take time, sometimes you are put through trials in life, but the question is do you sit down and listen? Do you believe? Do you have Faith that something better is about to happen.?

I just finished a conversation with someone who thanked me for always listening, being real and staying true to myself. That’s what I want for you, to do the same. Fight for what you want, stay true to your beliefs and always have Faith. Keep fighting for your dreams. Take Risks!!

God Bless you!

My Valentine

Valentine’s day is the celebration of love and affection.

If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love.

On valentine’s day you are supposed to express your love, celebrate, and show more appreciation for a person or friend. This day is associated with red and pink colors, candy, flowers and cards.

People consider pink and red the colors of love.

More Americans skip Valentine’s Day than you realize.

I celebrate Valentine’s day with my precious baby girl. She has allow me to learn the meaning of unconditional love.

Galentine’s Day has become a very real spinoff holiday.

Americans send 145 million Valentine’s Day cards each year.

he heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing

I remember having valentine’s day in the past where I celebrated alone, sometimes I celebrated with friends and loved ones. Other years I celebrated with my boyfriend/significant other, every year petty much was celebrated differently but not anymore.

The Valentine’s Day gift that people spend the most on is jewelry.

Now I have a precious girl to celebrate with. I want her to celebrate. I want her to be able to celebrate with me, with her dad, with her loved ones, friends and pretty much whomever she wants to spend it with when she is an adult. The only thing I hope that she doesn’t get in the mood of “I don’t have a boyfriend to celebrate this day with, therefore I am sad”. I want her to celebrate life, to celebrate with or without a man because clearly you dont have to wait to have a man to celebrate this precious day.

It’s celebrated differently around the world.

58 million pounds of chocolate are bought during Valentine’s Day week.

Each time you love, love as deeply as if it were forever.”

Enjoy this day.
Happy valentine’s day
Feliz Dia de San Valentín

A Day Spent in the Library. Why Reading is Important For Kids.

It is important to start at a young age and teach your child the value of reading so they will grow to practice it often and value their ability to do so.
