“Writing can be a lifeline, especially when your existence has been denied, especially when you have been left on the margins, especially when your life and process of growth have been subjected to attempts at strangulation.”

Happy New Year! Now What????

I thought I would have big elaborate plans for 2020 but to be totally honest with you, I don’t want to be the statistic of 1 on 3 people who experience a TIA will go on to have a full blown stroke within a year of having the TIA.

  • I simply want to live.

  • I want to be healthy.

  • I want to enjoy my life.

  • I want to go a day without feeling dizzy.

  • I want to wake up refreshed.

  • I want to be joyful an entire day.

  • I want to live without fear.

  • I want to read and the pages aren’t blurry.

  • I want to go a week without headaches.

  • I want to go on a vacation….hell, I’ll take a staycation.

  • I want freedom to be happy and to live my life on my terms.

This is what I resolve to do in 2020. I want to know what my new normal looks like. Right now, I have no clue. and that frightens me. The only thing I have to hold onto is my faith in God and that he will see my through this challenge.
