GOtta always apply Solbar sunblock #50 to my face/body when I am outside in the sun , otherwise my face will burn and the white spots get real pink and will burn. I have no more pigment on my lips & now have to switchup my darn lipstick colors!! so annoying! lol

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

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.......

A VICTORY!

This is so great! Today I interview for my television pilot/show, Dr. Pearl Grimes!!
Finally, this "Rock-Star" Dermatologist's schedule opened up. We will use this footage to educate and inform all of you living with Vitiligo and those that still don't understand what the heck it is!

So we will be looking forward to using that footage and am excited of what other great possibilities are in store with Dr. Grimes and our Pilot.

Be well,

Maia

MAXWELL Is Coming to Los Angeles

Well my girlfriends and gay guy friends have spent a whole lot of time texting, emailing and blabbing away at who is going to have front row seats and all access to Maxwell's long long long awaited concert tour!

Finally, I had to break it down to all my friends who still are very youthful and tell them, "The only person who has the "access" you want to Maxwell is his model GIRLFRIEND!!!" -LOL So, of course my reality check to them has limited my popularity (temporarily). :-) Everyone in LA practically is scrambling for outfits, good tickets and the info on the after after after party!!

OMG!! Why do I feel like I am 21 again? It is so funny to listen to al lthis hoopla , Maxwell is the soulful crooner that makes any woman want to dip in that bathtub with him from THAT video!! go to www.youtube.com and see what i am talking about if you haven't seen it in a while.

He truly is a talented brotha and I hope that he will be so calming and smooth to listen to that maybe some of my white patches might transform back to brown. It does happen when I am less stressed, eating right, exercising and listening to Maxwell!!--LOL

HOpe to get an interview with him to mention in my blog......................
