aging and HIV

Hoy sigo adelante más saludable que nunca, más fuerte en mente, cuerpo y espíritu.

As I continue forward, I am healthier than ever, stronger in mind, body, and spirit.

I do not associate with victimhood. Yet, in these moments, the victimization of a careless Congress and presidential administration may leave me vulnerable with an inability to pay for medical care and manage my disease.

No sabía que me sentiría tan bien y para ser honesta, ¡me encanta! Sé lo que quiero, me siento cómoda en mi propia piel, sé que soy de la luz, pero bailo con la oscuridad a veces - todas tenemos ese Yin y Yang.

I didn't know it would feel this good and to be honest, I am loving it! I know what I want, I am comfortable in my skin, I know that I am of the light, but I dance with darkness sometimes - and we all have that Yin and Yang.

It's time to heal, to rediscover my voice, and to move forward with renewed energy and purpose. Here's to new beginnings and the power of community in lifting each other up.
