Managing life and Staying Focused

......and how do you do that again please?? LOL For all the single woman out there who manage motherhood, work, personal hobbies, and still keep order without falling apart and having moments of "just Forget it" !! I thank you for sharing your stories all over the NET cause there are days that I just want to sit down under a waterfall on a hot island hmmm maybe under the Maya waterfall in Bali, Thailand and do absolutely NOTHING!!

After that moment passes, I look at my to do list and realize I forgot 5 more things to add to it! It's crazy when you have to make an appt with your phone to alarm you of the things u need to add to it to remind you again to get it done!! LOL

OMG! life is so funny sometimes and yet so stressful. AND I am always reminded when I need to slow down...when I see more of my honey brown pigment lost to Vitiligo and more white patches prevailing wherever they want to on my body.

There are days I want to totally de-pigment expeditiously with the help of modern meds like Michael Jackson did and go all white, BUT then I think of organically de-pigmenting like a slow death. (the "death" part is the loss of my brown and I want to wake up every morning to see parts of the original me still there! -lol Let it happen naturally and don't sweat the small stuff!! LOL yeah right.

I will continue to manage my daily life with a smile and passion to finish my book and to complete the 2 pilot projects that are my "babies" and my heart!! lol

the weather in Chicago is breaking and I can't wait to kiss summer and take a nap on the sand by the waterfront! (of course I have to wear sunblock 50 so I will not burn to a crisp)! :0

Rainy and Cold but My heart is still warm!

I have to admit it was a very strange, weird, rainy and cold day in Chicago. The pressure is so on and my body is responding by losing more pigment on my hands, legs and face. Although my face must know that it is a very sensitive area and if any white patches start really spreading I WILL BE LIVID! I AM NOT ready to turn completely white in my face while the rest of my body is taking it's moderate time! LOL

While I continue to manage multiple independent projects of my own creation, the weather today did not deter me from appointments and making it to the gym to release some endorphins!!

No matter the day the weather or my location, I always run into people I haven't seen in a while and miss or new people that add to my village of creativity and hope for a better humanity!

I saw an older man today with vitiligo on his hands and he looked at me and quickly turned his head away. So, I didn't do like I usually do and tap him to say hello and talk about vitiligo, rather, I left him alone in the rainy cold to cross the street in hopes to see him again to learn about his feelings on living with Vit!

Overwhelmed and Underpaid!!

do i have to xplain???? one thing is for sure, my vitiligo is spreading on the corner of my mouth and little kids are so cute when they think i have a milk patch on my mouth. most of the time i laugh but today i pouted!! lol there are days i am ok with this turning white thing and then as it spreads on my body, i think perhaps i am in some sort of quarterly denial about the fact that i am really losing my beautiful honey brown!!! LOL HOwever, my personality will always remain in tact and wonderful regardless of this physical transformation of pigment.

working so hard on my multiple projects and my freelancing could be a hellava lot better but i know the seeds i plant are going to blossom in such a rich and abundant garden that i am patient (well kind of!!).

season change brings some anxiety

Nothing new. but i will admit that my vitiligo is on a rampage on my hands and arms--meaning that it is spreading fast because i have been consumed and anxiety ridden with my life overall but pushing forward with this amazing book. think it is the season change and like everybody else that lives with the 4 seasons, the idea of a slushy, brutally cold and long winter is NOT sitting well with me. maybe the good thing about global warming is that there will be days , maybe, just maybe that will go up to the high 50's in the winter when its supposed to be 0degrees!!!

anybody out there noticed any new white patches that are distressing you with this vitiligo? just asking, its nice to know i am not alone in turning white! lol

nuthin much

in a self imposed lockdown this month in writing my book. its cold outside and i just am on a real disciplined and positive mode. sleepy now but am glad to be back on my blog and writing my book at same time!!

i got two more books after this one and i am done.

Hey I am back!

WOW it has been a minute and I am writing a book, free-lancing and paving my way to fulfill my purpose and mission in life...........

It's BEEN A WHILE!!

YUP, I KNOW!Boy have I been a busy bee, no wonder they named her Maia the Bee--LOL :-)

Life has been turned upside down and I have rolled with it and because of that, I am (u guessed it).....TURNING WHITER and not liking it at all.

Will post some pics from my last taping of a Pilot for television about my living with Vitiligo.

Hope this Pilot peeks Oprah's interest.......
