Weigh In

My sisters and brothers, we must get our health back under our control. I see too many in our black community overweight and suffering from too many health issues at an early age. No matter if it’s something you are genetically predisposed to or something you caused by bad habits in your life, we must get our health back in order. Too many people in our community are dying young due to strokes, heart attacks or drugs. I see too many that can barely walk down a long hallway or must use a walker or wheelchair for basic daily living activities. Work to get to a healthier you. Don’t let fear, stress, & worry get you hospitalized. Start by eating right, exercising a few hours a week, and getting a proper night’s rest. Doing a few laps around your local mall at a moderate pace is considered exercise. You don’t have to get a gym membership. Going to the park and walking around a track works also. Quit the excuses!!! Nothing worth having such as good health has come easy. Do th...

What I’ve learned since my diagnosis

Life is hard. Sometimes you will receive an unexpected blow when you think all is well & right in your world. That doesn’t mean you quit, don’t give the devil the victory. You are an overcomer. On your hard days wake up and push through. Showing up is half the battle, and the more you do this, you will teach yourself that this problem isn’t as bad as you thought. You will get through it just keep the faith. Do whatever you have to do on the legal side of the law to keep your head floating above water. I promise you it will all work out in due season. Dance during the storm and show your problems you have somebody bigger that fights your battles for you. On my worst days, I write and get it all out of my head or I talk to someone I can trust. There are still days when I cry my way through it but I get through it. Find things that help you survive the pain. I didn’t quit & neither can you. Remember I love you!!!

Your Health, Your Priority

Exercise your Rights! Stand up for yourself. You pay your insurance company & your medical professionals, so don’t let them brush off your issues or concerns. You have a right to be a part of the decisions for your health. You have a right to get a second opinion. You have a right to file a complaint against bad services rendered towards you. Don’t let just anyone come into your room, speak gibberish to you & leave out. They have a right to make sure you understand everything they tell you. You have a right to understand your medical issues and concerns before they leave you. If you expect bad news, or you just don’t know what they are saying, take a trusted family member or friend with you to your appointment. Just as if you were in a business to receive a service, your medical professionals are the businesses you service. Even with your insurance companies, you pay them so don’t accept piss poor service. People PLEASE ACCOMPANY YOUR ELDERLY FAMILY MEMBERS TO THEIR APP...

Diffusing Your Life Today

So, this is a different type of blog from my normal flow. It’s kind of a product review. I bought a diffuser out of Walmart to see if it would help me when I am stressed or in a mood. So, after I got the diffuser there was an array of different types of oils to get. The same company that made the diffuser had different sets of oils so that made it easier for me to choose. I got the set that came with the oils already blended together for different moods. It consisted of tranquility, breathe easy, thrive, relaxation, harmony, and calming sleep. When I tell y’all this has been the best purchase of my life. Sometimes after a stressful day at work I put on the relaxation blend and I am instantly soothed. There is nothing like relaxing & feeling soothed after a long hard day. When I wake up feeling sluggish, I put on the thrive to give me a boost to get my day going. You can find diffusers and essential oils in pretty much any home store, i.e. Ross, TJ Maxx, or Target. I recom...

Nothing but Gratitude

Giving glory to God who is the head of my life. Your love & support exceeded my expectations on yesterday. I knew I was going to receive love & support because I try to extend love & support to all of mankind but y’all had me shedding tears all day. God grants me grace & mercy everyday so why can’t I do the exact same thing for my fellow brothers & sisters. I appreciate all of the kind words spoken to me & over my life. I didn’t get here by myself. God put all of you beautiful people in my life for a reason. You know I’m always here if you need an ear or shoulder to lean on. Remember I LOVE YOU!!! P.S. Because of your love & support my video has been viewed over 500 times. Plus my coming out blog has been viewed over 350 times. I pray it has helped & educated someone.

So HAPPY being ME!!!

What the devil meant to destroy me turned into my purpose! In 2016 I went through an experience that I never thought would happen to me...but IT DID! I received a call saying I was HIV positive. After the initial confusion, shock, hurt, disappointment, & anger I flipped that negative energy around & used it for my good. NOTE: I have HIV & not AIDS. HIV is the VIRUS and AIDS is the DISEASE after a person CD4 cell count drops below 200 cells/mm or gets an opportunist infection they can receive an AIDS diagnosis. After going through all of the emotions known to mankind, I birthed KLowInspires, Corp. to inspire & uplift black women. Especially the women living in fear because of how the world treats People Living With HIV (PLWH). We must motivate and empower each other. We carry our spouses, our significant others, our children, our parents, our siblings, our grandparents, etc. but we invest so little into ourselves until it’s too late. After coming to terms with my d...
