Beautiful struggle

I knew I LOVED YOU before I met You!

I am a homebody. My life’s routine are mainly work, home, take care of my mom, stand by my better-half, cuddle with my cat, pray to keep my breast cancer at bay, sleep and repeat. Other than from my native country, I have not traveled outside the USA but someday, somehow would really love to see The Vatican.

…then life unravels yet another wind of change—I lost my Dearest Mother. I had to see a grief counselor for the first time ever. One of her advice to try to move on from my loss, no matter how painfully hard and slowly I go was to do things I love…so though I am not really that social, I did start being active again at my social media accounts, mostly at my Instagram.

I was also watching the KSNV news one day, when they featured The Las Vegas Farm, Barn Buddies Rescue where you can go see and feed the all rescued animals. One thing about me is that I LOVE ANIMALS especially Cats. I did do volunteer work in California years back but not here…so it’s absolutely a sign for me to go…

The sun’s shining, crispness in the air as I approached The Farm’s entrance when surprisingly, I got greeted bay a CAT! My heart immediately warmed-up, filled with love, happiness and joy!

You had me at MEOW

I KNEW I LOVED YOU BEFORE I MET YOU: The moment I’m grateful for the most is when God planned that your path is destined to cross mine! Full video @YouTube link https://www.youtube.com/shorts/htXWxNNiCI8 and more videos @TikTok, @Instagram @TuffCatnet / FindingNirvana.net

Among the things I thank God for most, is the love He gave me for animals. My heart would be emptier, and life would be less without them.

Heart of Mine: BETTER DAYS are coming…

I always say that my life is and have always been a beautiful struggle with all of the challenges I face, and yet so blessed for being able to overcome them by GOD’s Grace!

The Lord stood by me and gave me strength…

…more so these past months when my darkest point in my life shattered my heart to its core when my Mother passed away.

The saddest sound in the entire universe

is the sound of the last heartbeat!

I’ve never been so helpless and heartbroken! I still ache from losing her…there are days that are tougher!

Missing you comes in waves and tonight,

I’m drowning…

Through this, my breast cancer journey continues…I still have to go through my infusions, tumor marker labs and oncologist follow-up every 3-4 months because of the invasive nature of the cancer I had.

Add-on, my better-half himself is having medical challenges now, too.

I’d rather it just be me, not my loved ones.

But as I always say. too ”there’s always good in bad and that “there’s always something to be thankful for”

I am thankful that I’m back to work— though I basically work now just for gas and my cancer continuing insurance coverage—BUT I AM THANKFUL THAT I AM WORKING!  I’ve always liked to work and I’m blessed that I’ve always been getting along with my co-workers, then and now… some even became long-time friends which I still have contact with though we’re miles apart. My co-workers now are also a bunch of lovely ladies and a handful of gentlemen.  Fun group to work with!

Thank you for making me laugh

when I couldn’t even smile.

I was told by my grief counselor and my oncologist today to “be kind to myself” and try to start doing things again that makes me happy even going through whatever life throws at me…

I’ve been away from social media platforms for a while now, but started to be active again on my Twitter, Tiktok, Instagram and this Finding Nirvana.net Website, a part of my Anonymously Yours Network, which with or without and an audience serves as my blogpile of emotions on where I kinda wear my SkippyHeart on my e-sleeves again.

so I am back…

as always,MY DEAR LOVED ONES, FRIENDS, EARTH ANGELS AND BEAUTIFUL STRANGERS, please hold my hand and promise not to let go…

The UPSIDE, Downside and Keeping afloat in between…

“Sometimes you need to look at life from a different perspective.”

  • I am without work, but not without a home...

  • I am thin, but not without food...

  • I struggle many times in life, more so health-wise, but not without victory and faith for better days ahead...

  • I thank GOD for my loved-ones, my wing-man, and for having this chonky cat blessing in my life...
