Fortitude
My Mom told me this morning that I had fortitude. Courage in pain or adversity. I don’t mean to toot my own horn but that is the perfect word for me today. I woke up in excruciating pain today when my face and neck were glued to the towel I…

Burning embers leftover..
I ran off to Smithville for the weekend to rest and recuperate. It felt great to be in a house where it didn’t feel awkward to go downstairs, where I didn’t feel like I constantly had to be cleaning and where anyone goes when they’re sick; to their Mommas. So…

Flare number three
I’m hoping flares are a good sign. Sign of healing and detoxing; withdrawing. Process of becoming free. That’s a good way to put it. Free. That’s a good word. This process has definitely made me feel trapped. My Friday night consists of the usual epsom salt bath, go cook a…

One month no steroid cream.
It has been a little over one month with out the use of topical steroid creams. So, that also means it has been about one month of HELL. The first two weeks were great because I also cut out dairy and gluten so I figured I found the cure. I was being positive and…

On the inside is what matters
I have been blessed with someone in my life recently that’s truly motivated me in a healthy way to let my skin be. Let it heal and stop hurting myself out of frustration or disappointment that it isn’t healing as fast as it can be. The sweetness he exudes is…

Ready for my close up
Here is a picture up close of my neck that is having trouble healing and my face that oozes. Disclaimer: These pictures along with almost every single other picture in my blog are gross. Also, one of my best friends stopped by yesterday to give me some dry shampoo &…
