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.

Hurricane Maria

4 years the other day since hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. 4 years ago we lost our precious house, were we grew up. It took me 4 years to talk partially about it. 4 years that took me to have the courage to post a picture. My life shattered the day I was told over the phone what happened. I suffered in silence just to see how my family was suffering over something they had no control over. 4 years since my people had to experience such a devastating situation. Family, friends, strangers crying, depressed, anxious, helpless, sad, defeated, hopeless, sick, hungry, thirty while going through such a difficult situation for a lack of better word.
Have you ever felt like this? Years without being able to share, talk, write about something that happened to you or is currently happening to you? I encourage you to be gentle, caring and loving to yourself. Today I hope you have the courage to start healing and know that you can start all over again and be a better version of yourself. Today have the courage to say this situation does not define me. Have the courage to write, speak, cry, scream and give all your troubles to God, He will not let you down and he will help you along the way. Today I chose courage to share this. Today I’m a stronger 💪 person, today I’m at peace with myself. Be kind to you. Know that you are not alone and we all struggle. The good thing is that we don’t need to stay there for ever. You don’t have to look back. If you have to look back I hope is for you to share a story and help someone else to heal.
Ps: our house is fixed and my family is doing well. Thank you to all of you that were there for me during this hard time when I needed you the most. You know who you are. Love you!

God Bless,
