Trust the signs and your journey

I remember sitting in my sofa with my head up almost as if I was looking up to the sky and asking God, the universe how I ended up here with Cancer.  I was thinking of the plans I had for this year, of traveling, growing my business, and now all of that had come to a stop.  I kept having this conversation in my head with God.  How at 33 years of age I was handed this illness, why me? But then in that same conversation I said to God, I know these were my plans, and I had many things I wanted to do, but I let go and let you guide me and let your plans be done in my life.  After I had this conversation with God, I then just get my phone and get on Instagram because that is what we do right when we don't have nothing else to do, we just look at our phones.  So I scroll through my Instagram and the first post I see stops me cold, as I read it I was amazed at how every single word in that post was for me.  It was weird, but throughout my lifetime I seen 'weird' or what some would call it signs that tell you everything will be fine.  This post was a sign that the universe was letting me know everything will be fine.  I knew at that moment that I have to go through this journey because it will teach me something, and that even though I have to go through the process of getting surgery, chemo and possibly another surgery God will be with me no matter what.  The last sentence in that post confirmed it all as it said 'trust me to show you what to do when you have finished what you are doing now'.  I will guide you step by step as you bend your will to mine'.  You can call it coincidence but for me to read that from a random post on Instagram right after I was thinking about the plans and dreams I had for myself, and I decide to let go at that moment, and receive this answer that to me is not coincidence.  I left the post I read on that day on this post for you to read.

I know that many of us see things sometimes that shake us.  Maybe you are going through a situation that you do not see a way out, and you ask yourself whether you should stay or go.  Trust me you have been receiving signs all along, your intuition, your gut tells you what to do.  But as humans we are sometimes are stubborn, or we don't want to believe the signs that are given to us everyday because we doubt them.  Don't doubt when your spirit, your intuition whatever you want to call it is telling you something is not right.  Listen to it.  I knew this word was for me, and I felt peace right after.  I cannot tell you the amount of people that have told me 'omg but you do not look like you are receiving chemo'.  I have to tell you that I already had 3 chemo treatments and my energy, appetite is better than it was before I received it.  I know that this has changed me, and after Cancer I know now what I want to do, what is my purpose here in life.  Before Cancer I still was not sure on what I wanted to do, I always knew that I wanted to serve people but I did not want to listen to it.  I was focusing more on 'success'  but success is what you want to define it as,  I would constantly beat myself up because I thought at 33 I wasn't where I was supposed to be.  And after Cancer, all of that stress, worry about life and insignificant things went away.  So if you ask me I believe that this is a test that was meant to happen.  Instead of asking why me, I now say thank you because I will come out stronger, and wiser.  Be patient with yourself, trust your journey as it will lead you to where you are supposed to be.  Don't force things, just flow as the water.  My only hope is that my journey can inspire you, much love and blessings.

  1. This was very deep. Thank you for sharing this. I recently transferred from schools for the third time, it just feels like I syilk haven't found the perfect school where I will be able to perfect my craft. Today i was saddened at the thought of not returning to what was normal to me for 4 years straight. I began to question was it the right move? but now I see this post as a confirmation. I moved because it was time, time for me to grow.

What were the symptoms?

What were the symptoms? What did you feel before you found out you had Cancer? I get these questions from people who know me, but also from the nurses who draw my blood before a procedure has to be done.  Usually people ask the question and a second later say 'you know because you are so young'.  My response is usually 'yea you are right especially for Colon Cancer, due to it being more common on people who are 50 years or older.  However, my primary doctor told me in the past 5 years he has seen an increase in younger people being diagnosed with Colon Cancer. Mine is stage IV which you might say 'holy crap, what is your survival rate?'  And when I say stage IV it means that the Cancer did metastasis; in other words it spread to other parts of my body other than the colon.  Usually in Colon Cancer when it spreads it tends to spread to the liver.  So yes mine did spread to my liver.  Can you believe I did not ask my oncologist what is the survival ...

Enjoy the process while in pain

What does it mean to enjoy the process while going through an illness, the loss of a relative, the loss of a job, a home, and so much more.  What does it truly mean to enjoy when death becomes real to you?   I have asked this question to myself for the past 8 months after being diagnosed with Cancer.  So many good answers came out of this, so many good things have come out after being diagnosed with this illness.  In the past I would not have been able to answer this question for you because I was too busy trying to trying to make a future, and was not being present in the moment of it all.  I was too busy trying to speed up the process, instead of enjoying it.  The process in my own words is what we call the journey, the good but also the bad, the trying moments in our lives that we try to escape.  We as humans don't like to feel pain, loneliness, or anything that causes a shift in our lives right?  We escape the process of the 'bad moment...

Taking off the mask: To the unheard dreams, to the unheard cries

This is not easy for me to do because taking off my mask means getting naked, it means to bear my soul out to you.  It also means Im letting you into my light but also my darkness.  You see I know we all wear masks, we all in our solitude, if we do allow ourselves to be alone with our self, our ego, we discover our hidden truths.  Its difficult to confront those things that as humans we all face.  I for a long time was not happy, and when I say happy it does not mean that I didn't love my life or didn't think I was blessed, I just didn't feel fulfilled if that makes sense.  I constantly was preoccupied in my mind with finding my true purpose or my true 'calling'.  And the feeling that comes with not feeling accomplished or successful is not pretty.  You get sad, you feel like a loser, and you think you will never find your true passion.  You question yourself, you say Im I good enough? and then comes comparison, oh look at this person they are so ...
