Hello, beautiful souls! I’m Doreen a woman navigating the complexities of life with rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, and depression. My journey has been shaped by resilience, as I am also a trauma survivor of intimate partner violence. Each challenge has taught me the power of strength, self-love, and community

Living with chronic illnesses is no easy feat; it’s a daily dance of ups and downs. Some days I rise and shine, while others remind me of the battles I face. But through it all, I’ve learned to embrace my journey and celebrate the small victories. It’s about more than just managing symptoms—it’s about finding joy and purpose, even in the toughest moments.

This blog is my heart laid bare. I want to share my experiences, the lessons I’ve learned, and the coping strategies that help me forge ahead. My hope is that my story resonates with other women who may be walking a similar path. Let’s uplift each other, share our wisdom, and create a space where we can thrive together.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we can celebrate our resilience, support one another, and inspire each other to rise above the challenges we face.
