This is unbelievable news. But we will see how long it takes to become funded and expanded.

Endless True Love

But after she explained things to us and referred me to a few more doctors I was more willing to hear things.  Later that afternoon, I called Brad and said "I need to talk to you, seriously". He came over as soon as he could. I just began balling and couldn't even start the conversation. Once I finally did I basically told him, he's got a free out of this relationship, he didn't choose this, and sure wasn't expecting it. To be 19 and having a baby is already scary enough, but with a woman who could potentially harm him and our children. I was fully willing to give him up and had already understood what the repercussions would be If he chose to leave. But God willing, he stayed and said "Yeah and, it's just more to love you for". And nearly 8 years later he has stood by my side. Without question or without fear. True love is something I'd never known or seen, and it made me so guilty and uncomfortable knowing this man truly loved me. It took a long time to truly love him and a lot of my own mistakes before I knew he was here to stay. I thank the Lord everyday he chose to stay. It just didn't seem fair to him, to be with me, and potentially, get HIV. My worst fear. He's never once been concerned or worried. He's done his research and has told me "it's not the worst thing that could happen." I have different opinions and and someone with HIV would nearly be devastated to transmit to our loved ones. Truly, at least that's how I've always felt.

Stigma Panel

I've been asked to help with the Stigma Panel being held at Cal Poly on May 21st from 4:00-7:30.  I'm very excited and promise to post more info as soon as I get it!! 

Doors Have Been Opened

It can take one person to change the world and I'm not aiming to change the world, but if I get to a few people with my message I could save lives. And if I could literally save 1 I would be stoked, but the possibilities of changing multiple are pushing me full force into my advocacy.

I met with an old high school counselor today. He's known me for years, not just during high school. He's worked at AG High and Nipomo High. He gave me connections to some great people for future youth talks.  He also said he would personally call these connections and put in a personal voucher for me. WOOHOO thank you Lord for opening doors for me. This could become huge...

FOUND MY TRUE CALLING

I may just be reiterating some things that I've said, but I feel I've found my calling! I obviously want to continue my awareness advocacy because so far it's helped tremendously educate the youth. And I'm not saying I want to stop that either, but I have considered at the very near age of 30 becoming a youth counselor or testing counselor or even a teacher. I know that's pretty ambitious, but I know my calling is to work with youth and continue to raise awareness. Any thoughts on this issue or possible reconsiderations so I'm not going back to school at 30 until I'm 40!!!! Because that in itself scares me! Or any possible contacts! Thanks for sharing in this journey with me, it's helped educate and raise awareness to a lot of youth, but it's also healed me, made me become more self confident, and given me my spirit back after a very rough few years when I thought it was gone forever!!!  "Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it." - Ezra 10:4

Live Like A Warrior - Amazing Song

Matisyahu - Live Like a Warrior: https://youtu.be/qf-DOEim250

Feel like the world don't love you
They only want to push you away
Some days people don't see you
You feel like you're in the way
Today you feel, as if everyone hates
Pointing their fingers, looking at your mistakes
You do good, they want great
No matter what you give they still want to take
Give your love and they throw it back
You give your heart they go on attack
When there's nothing left for you,
Only thing that you can do, say

Today, today, live like you wanna,
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire,
Fight like a Warrior,

Today, today, live like you wanna,
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire,
Live like a Warrior

Some things you should let go, they're only gonna pull you down,
Just like weight on your shoulder they are only gonna make you drown
We all swing high, we all swing low,
We all got secrets people don't know
We all got dreams we can't let go,
We want to brave, Don't be afraid
Ohh

Today, today, live like you wanna,
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire,
Fight like a Warrior,

Today, today, live like you wanna,
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire,
Live like a Warrior

Your heart is too heavy from things you carry a long time,
You been up you been down, tired and you don't know why,
But you're never gonna go back, you only live one life
Let go, let go, let goooooo, Let go, let go, let goooooo,

Today, today, live like you wanna,
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire,
Fight like a Warrior,

Today, today, live like you wanna,
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire,
Live like a Warrior

Today, today, live like you wanna,
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire,
Fight like a Warrior,

Today, today, live like you wanna,
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, in a fire, in a fire,
Live like a Warrior
