I've learned so many lessons this year. I'm ready to walk into 2024 a whole new person. Opening up, asking for help and letting people actually help me- has always been a struggle, because I could never count on anyone before nor did I feel like I was ever deserving. But thank you to all the MVP's, who check up on me, reach out, offer a listening ear and help me in someway. If it wasn't for that, hanging on to make a bigger wave of a difference in this world and actually feeling like I'm cared about, I wouldn't be fighting so hard to be alive. So more than words can say, "Thank you." I hope you all have a blessed holiday season and a happy n healthy new year! 🎄☃️🎅🙏💖 #instagood #positivity #energyhealing #healing #godheals #faith #blessed #prayers #dogsofinstagram #dogs #rescue #rescuedog #christmasmiracle #chronicillness #chronicpain #survivor #cancer #warrior #mytruth #invisibleillnesswarrior #instadaily #holiday #holidayseason #whorescuedwho #furbaby

Nowhere feels quite like home, nowhere feels quite safe. But my heart is filled with so much peace, joy, love and gratitude. I am blessed to be spending this Christmas with all my furbabies. I'm counting my blessings, things aren't perfect. They are very far from it. The worries, stress and anxiety is a daily battle. The cards are stacked up against me. But I never give up my hope or my will to fight. Miracles and prayers get answered everyday. I am choosing to be grateful for the things I do have, new career opportunities and path's, like I've been working for the Ramsey group for awhile now, I had signed an NDA but now I can finally share it. I usually don't share things about myself because I don't want people to think I have a big ego or I'm not humble. But regardless, my career is paused while I try to regain my health and strength. Anyways, that's one thing I have going for me, but I have many others. My kids that I teach, mentor and instruct have given me even more hope and appreciation for life and all the little things, because they all matter. I matter to my kids, believing in them and giving them patience and the ability to gain confidence in themselves. It's a beautiful thing, no matter what age or disability. So being on bed rest, attempting to dance with the pups and dressing them up for the holiday. Tomorrow I want to take them on a Christmas light drive. I never shared that I cannot have children, since my car accident and then having female cancer about 3 years ago where they did a complete hysterectomy, etc. Being a mother is something I always wanted but it was stolen from me by a drunk driver when I had just turned 17. So I don't care if you think I'm extra, bougie, etc. I am who I am, I'm not harming anyone else. And I'm just trying to give these rescue dogs the best life's possible. They are my children, no matter how weird that may seem to some. Seeing them happy, comfortable and enjoying life- makes my heart happy in so many ways. Continued....

Continued post. But this is on my terms. I don't want to suffer anymore, and I sure as hell don't want to go alone, in a hospital. Meanwhile, my mother completely had a mental breakdown again, and I was finally able to get her the help she so desperately needs right now. My heart is shattered. I tried to protect my mother and my brother, even though almost 2 years ago, they tried to kill me and almost succeeded, compromised major surgery for me, and attempted to ruin my life forever. It's been a long few years of living my torment and truth. Well, my mother turned on my brother and some other innocent people. Thank God everyone is okay and that finally, medical professionals are taking this seriously and have stepped in. If you have it in your heart and you believe, please send your prayers, good vibes, and positive energy this way. Because this is beyond words, gutted me. #faith #godheals #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #itsokaynottobeokay #suicide #godisgood #believe #chronicillness #chronicpain #cancer #survivors #mytruth #domesticviolence #warrior #instagood #invisibleillnesswarrior #instadaily #hope #awareness #strength #yourvoice #yourpower #youmatter

I'm just going to leave this here, just for all you doubters. 😘 Because of all your hatred, it's why people suffer alone. I am type of person, who picks her battles. I'm not going to debate with you to prove myself you either believe me or you don't. Do I have all the evidence and proof? Hell ya. But do I need to worry about your disbelief and opinions of me? No. The ones who understand me are welcomed. God is the only one who can judge me and knows what cards I've been dealt, the shoes that I've walked in and proving myself to anyone convinced with not wanting to give compassion or understanding, I'm sorry, not sorry. You don't matter to me anymore. It took me a really long time to get to this point. Does it still hurt and bother me? Yepppp. It probably always will, but at the end of the day, it does not matter. It does not change my reality, it just takes more energy and attention away from what I am fighting right now. I am trying to take back my life, my power, my strength, and my voice. I am trying to share my experience so that you understand why I fell off the face of the earth again, and maybe you can learn from my situation for one reason or another. Otherwise; God bless you, and I wish you peace. This week has been a rocky road- continual procedures, surgeries, treatments, doctor appointments, and whatnot. From making the decision to not spend the holiday in the hospital; because for petes sake, if the treatments aren't working and there's nothing else they may be able to do, especially right at this time. My body needs time to gain strength to try and fight back on its own. I'm going to do this my way, I didn't study holistic nutrition and medicine for nothing. I don't want to be in any more medical journals and studied by or used as a spectacle for resident and student doctors. I am a human,and I want to be at peace. I want to do things my way, at home, with my furbabies who give me so much strength and hope. I want to take my urban modern medicine treatments, my Holistic naturopathic hippie hippie stuff like all you like to hate on me for. But this is on my terms. Continued....

I just want to be honest because living in silence is beyond hard. I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, and it has now spread. I've been trying to do everything I possibly can to extend my life. But let me tell you, going thru this with no family as a support system is really flipping hard. No matter how hard I pray for things to change, they won't. Well, I've also been working myself into the ground. I am trying to make a difference in this world as well as keep my head above water to survive. I got really sick on Thursday. It took a turn late at night/early morning Friday. And before I knew it, I was in an ambulance headed to the hospital, my pneumonia turned into a severe sinus and double ear infection, and my kidneys completely shut down. My ears we're bleeding out really badly and still are, turned out my ear drums completely detached, and I'll more than likely never hear again. Turns out there's a mass in my head now and the antibotics i've been on are resistant to the bacteria's I have, of course they would find that out on a Sunday evening when pharmacies are now closed. I've only gotten sicker. But my body isn't done fighting, and i'm sure as hell not giving up. More emergency surgeries are in my near future. It's definitely not what I planned so close to Christmas. Why am I telling you all this? Because being silent has been so damn isolating. I hope if anything, You learn that your health and life is more important than anything else, don't put it on the back burner or take it for granted for a second and that if you have a support system and people who help you when you fall on tough times, so you don't just tough it out and go to work, or figure everything out on your own, consider yourself blessed and luckier than most. I'm still hoping for a big Christmas miracle, though. #christmasmiracle #faith #hope #prayers #godheals #invisibleillnesswarrior #cancer #survivor #chronicillness #butyoudontlooksick #sufferinginsilence #nooneshouldhavetosufferalone

For anyone who needed an extra reminder today. YOU are amazingly strong, talented, loved, important, and YOU will get thru this. Whether life has been harder for you always, this year, this month, or even this week. Hang in there; the breakthrough is coming. Don't give up on life or yourself. You can, and you will get through this. You'll experience love, appreciation, happiness, laughter, stability, and security again soon. I promise you. 💖🙏🫶🙌 #sunday #sundaymood☀️ #weekend #sundayscaries #selfreflection #faith #godheals #godisgood #believe #karma #spirituality #positivity #motivation #inspiration #invisibleillnesswarrior #chronicillness #chronicpain #vegansofinstagram #vegansofig #reels #reelsinstagram

A new chapter begins tomorrow ✨️💖 I wish I could drop this imposter syndrome. #manifestation #survivor #chef #cheflife #teacher #selfimprovement #newbeginnings #godheals #spirituality #motivation #inspiration #newchapter

Another year; more knowledgeable and gainful experience. I push myself past my limits, and I pay for it every time, greatly. But I've learned my lesson; I'm listening to my body. It's time to rest. It''s time to recharge and regain my energy and recover. I've been in and out of the hospital for weeks, more ill than I've ever been. It's time to recognize my health and know that I can't take it for granted. Will I ever heal and be able to do everything just like a normal person would? Probably not. Will this cause a flare in my pain and conditions? Heck yes. Was it worth it? Every damn second. So, with that being said, it's time to take it easy and enjoy a low-key birthday.... to celebrate later! But one thing is for sure; this is my first birthday where I didn't spend the whole day crying and having a dreadful experience. So, for that, I am beyond grateful and blessed. I love you all, each and every one of you. My heart is THAT BIG. 🫶🤗💖 Talk soon; Chef Kimi. 👩‍🍳 💖 #chronicillness #chronicpain #invisibleillness #disability #disablityawareness #disabledandcute #trauma #faith #godheals #karma #goodvibes #positivevibes #empath #energyhealing #healing #chef #chefsofinstagram #inspirational #motivation #empoweringwomen

When I felt so empty and lost; I was redirected to something even greater. A purpose to help others in so many different ways. We are going to state, baby! I am so proud of my kids! Hard work pays off. Don't give up. Cry, rant and rave if you have too. But know that God has your back. At my sickest, I pushed thru. Know that; You are amazing for facing life with so much courage and determination. Positive shifts are coming, things will change for you; sooner than you know. You are doing your best and you are doing a GREAT job. You are giving this your all and it's more than enough, dont let anyone tell you otherwise. I hope you are ready for all the amazing things to start happening for you. As I reflect on the last year of my life; a lot happened. I became stronger than I ever knew I could. I handled things, that I never thought I would survive with grace. I battled for my life, health, freedom and peace. The pain made me who I am; I became kinder to the right people and focused on who would appreciate me and my efforts. I stopped wasting so much energy on toxic people and it was the hardest thing I could have done. But it was so rewarding. Find happiness and appreciation in all the small things. Here's to another year of getting back more than I ever lost. #TrustInGod #faith #faithoverfear #karma #survivor #warriors #chronicpain #chronicillness #invisibleillness #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticviolencesurvior #spoonie #disabledandcute #dailyaffirmations #positivevibes #goodkarma #goodvibes #empoweringwomen #inspirational #birthday

When nothing is certain, everything is possible. Never wish another pain, if they hurt you; they hurt. Wish them healing, that's what they need. You can support someone or be against them, either way they are going to make their goals happen. My best piece of advice is do it anyways. If no one believes in you and tells you that YOU CAN'T; is all the more reason to prove them wrong. It shows you their limits, not yours. Doers do it tired, do it on empty, continue on this path because you have a MISSION. God only knows what you've been thru. God only knows what they've said about you. God only knows the real you. There's a love that only God knows. Your path is harder because your calling is HIGHER. I can guarantee you that one day, everything you've been thru has prepared you for your future, your purpose and your destiny; Hang on. This is the year of your best self and you need to walk away from anything that leaves you feeling less than your highest self. Don't allow yourself to be small for anyone else, be weird, be kind, be quirky, be uniquely you. Don't hold back, be weird. Be enough for yourself first, worry about the rest of the world later. Know that your dreams were planted in your heart for a reason and you are here for a purpose. Once you find your path, you must fight for your life to stay on it. The devil will constantly test and challenge you; but you are invisible and the world is your oyster. You can make a difference in this world. If no one else believes in you, I do and so does God. So believe in yourself and know that's all that truly matters. 🙏 💖 #instagod #faith #godheals #instagood #instadaily #instamood #dailythoughts #dailyaffirmations #motivation #inspiration #strongwomen #selflove #foryoupage #mindfulness #spoonie #disabledandcute #disabled #chronicillness #chronicpain #autoimmunedisease #rheumatoid #autoimmune #empoweredwomenempowerwomen #domesticabuse #survivor #warrior #weekendvibes #weekend

Good morning, all you beautiful souls! 🌞💖 May you all have a lovely, relaxing Sunday. Know that your inner beauty matters most and life will get easier soon; Don't give up. I've got a full day myself. Remember that you don't always have to be "busy" to be productive - taking a break for your mental and physical health is just as productive. Some people will never know or understand all the battles you are fighting because you've put on such a brave face, and your energy radiates positivity. Will people find fault with this? YES, GIRL! Continue to be yourself, love others, and be KIND! Life will all fall into place. Please be patient and not so hard on yourself. My word for this year was going to be pivot. Because no matter what happens, what doors close, what trauma and stresses I face- I take a minute to cry, re-adjust, and pivot. But my therapist and everyone around me continues to remind me that I am beyond resilient. I always fall and rise again because I am a fighter & survivor. In hate, I will find love. I come alive inside these flames. I fail to recognize everything that I've made it thru on my own, and I don't spend much time reflecting on where I've been, where I am now, and how far I've come. But goodness gracious, it has been HELL. But guess what? I survived my worst days, the hardest experiences and challenges that I might ever have too. And I am still here, fighting for a change for the world and a better life for everyone. I hope you find some peace and inspiration in my words for the day. Love you all! 💖🥰😘 - Chef Kimi Karma

Hi Lovelies! 💖 I hope you all are having a lovely new year. It's going by so quickly already - it's hard to believe it's already going to be February. I've been working a lot behind the scenes. Teaching swim lessons as well as coaching the special olympics. A mentoring program, doing speaking engagements to empower others who have had a hard life, but thru the struggles - you can still create the life you've always dreamed of. I have also been putting a lot of time into my self-help/biography book. I am working on myself, healing thru therapy, church, my faith, and trauma groups. I am relaunching my blog/website as well as continuing to offer cooking classes to everyone, young or old, disabled, veterans, etc. Volunteering taking care of animals of all sorts, even squirrels and raccoons. I have lots of surprises coming soon, lots of new content coming your way is one of them! My life has been extremely challenging these last few years. But I appreciate everyone who I've met along the way and has followed me on my journey. The new me continues to evolve. Surviving domestic violence, being shunned by my whole family, struggling with my health, etc. It's been a wild ride, it has taught me so much though and it's made me who I am. It's allowed me to help others in many different ways. And that one of my biggest goals in life is to be true to myself and remain kind to others as well as make a difference. You may be a little too bright for this world. You will be misunderstood, judged, lied about, kicked in the teeth at your lowest- but fight for your life and power. It's worth it, I promise you. Your strength and exactly who you are matters. The world needs you exactly as you are. We all have a purpose, one day it will all make sense, I promise.
