I Told The Storm....
If I walk alone, Im not on my own. That is what I have been living by this year. I am embarking on my new life with MY GOD by my side. I am so excited!! I will be closer to my little one and doing what I do best being Mommy. I look forward to what God has for me in Dallas. I will miss A LOT of people but I know that they want the best for me. Okay Dallas here I come. I will not say that I will not be back because my niece and my sister are still in Austin and my wonderful church family, so we will just say, I will see you guys at least once a month. But for right now.....Onward and Upward!!!

Being Busy and God has Been Busy TOO....
I know the last time you heard from me I was going through the last of the kool-aid treatment, I was having a benefit concert for F.A.C.E.S, and having a garage sale. Well, all of that has happened. I finished my kool-aid treatment yesterday and all is well. I had the benefit party for F.A.C.E.S and that was a blast! Got some connections and some wigs...I even got a few donations to help the support group build. Lastly, I am almost done selling all my stuff in my apartment. One person almost bought me out. PRAISE GOD!! So, now I am finishing up some last minute transfers and paperwork for my move to the Big D! I am so blessed and I am so grateful. God showed me his vision for my life last night and I have some work to do. I know he will never leave me nor forsake me so if I have any questions or concerns, he's got my back...better yet MY FRONT!!

I Gave Birth To A Vision Last Night.....
Last night was the first Benefit Party for the support group called F.A.C.E.S. This support group F.A.C.E.S stands for FAITH AND ACCEPTANCE in CHRIST EXPERIENCING SURVIVOR-SHIP. This blog and support group started my story of triumph over a disease. God was able to use me as his vessel to get his word out to a people who just doesn't want to talk about it or are misinformed. Either way I am sent to shed light on a disease that we as a people are affected by whether we talk about it or not. It doesn't make it go away. A matter of fact, the sooner you talk about it the faster you can conquer it. Ignorance is not bliss...its dangerous! What you don't know...WILL and CAN hurt you, if you don't do something about it in time. So lets take the blinders and the fears of cancer OFF!!! Whatever strives and manifests in the dark masters YOU!! Lets take the power from this disease and give knowledge to our people dying from it. Without A Vision People Parish!!!

Okay Breath in .....Breath OUT!!!
Is it just me or does it seem like this month is flying by. Maybe its me. I know that this is the last month I will be in Austin....well, living in Austin that is. I am planning two big events here before I go. I am planning a Benefit Party for the support group I started for cancer survivors for women of color. This support group is to celebrate life after diagnosis. Cancer survivors need encouragement. Sometimes we are up and then sometimes we allow things to get us down...oh wait a minute that is everyone's struggle. Praise God for like minds in this rat race called life. We are all trying to do right by God and we all want to please HIM(at least we should). So hats off to F.A.C.E.S!!! What does that stand for you ask? It stands for Faith and Acceptance in Christ Experiencing Survivor-Ship. Oh yea, the other major event is a garage sale. LOL!! I have to get rid of my stuff. I am selling EVERYTHING!! I want to start fresh and new in Dallas. Is Dallas ready?? I think not!! SMILE its contagious!!

Had to Stop.....Think.....and Remember.....
Oh boy, I had to check myself yesterday. I am so glad that this is a new day. I feel like I have to share with you what happened. This might be a little gross to the guys that are reading but just bear with me. This month has been a little different for me for some reason. I have been a little more tired than usual, but I really didnt think anything of it. I would just sleep a little longer for a nap. What WAS alarming me was the fact that I am bleeding. Now remember how I use to be with the sight of blood, well now we are on the same page. So I look at the calendar and it is just time for my cycle, so I am thinking okay MonaLisa don't trip your body is getting back to its normal state....having a menstrual period. I am thinking that the enemy is trying to scare me because he knows my fears and he is here to steal....kill...and destroy whether that be your body, your dreams, whatever. So, I just had to stop and think of the goodness of God and what he has done for me and what he has brought me from. MonaLisa stop trippin. You know what God can do and what he has done in your life. Praise God for the moment I snapped back to the Goodness of God. BUT GOD....is what Paul said. THANK GOD FOR the DELIVERANCE.

I FEEL GOOD....(music)..LIKE I KNEW I WOULD!!
Done with the red drug for right now. One more three day session coming on August 16-18. I am so excited to be doing the move and doing MONA LISA all at the same time. I am praying for this continuing charge of energy each day I wake up in the morning. I am in love and it feels so good. He not only loves me but he is the lover of my soul. You cant get any better than that!!! He wants the BEST for me and He is willing and able to give my ANYTHING I want. He makes me feel good all over. I want to be with him all day long. I know his schedule is busy but he seems to always be able to give me my quality time. Just me and him. He makes me feel like I am the only woman on earth. He laid down his life for me. Man, let me stop because I am starting to miss him already. So, let me cut this one short....I am going to spend some time with him right now. Talk to you soon!!!
