Coming out of the Dark

Soooo I've been in hiding...incognito...dodging the press...the media...ok ok maybe they don't care about me but I have been in a serious funk. So much has gone on that I do not even know how to wrap my head around it. I mean one second I'm good and happy and the next second...BAM an atomic bomb comes out of nowhere and threatens to ruin your entire existence as you know it! I mean has this ever happened to any of you? It is INSANE and I don't like it!!! NOPE...NOT ME...I DON'T!

So lets start from where we left off...I'll give you the abridged version of my horror...not as some OMG woe is me...please pity me...but as a cautionary tale of a woman who once thought she had it all and lost it at a drop of a hat. OK OK I'm done with my melodramatics...at least for now...we all know I'm not really done...please don't hold me to my previous statement...I cannot be held responsible for my own words!

So I battled ovarian cancer blah blah blah...you've heard it all before...I WON...I didn't give up and I won...best news ever right? YES you are right...however, in the world of Melinda...things are never as hunky dory as they appear. I started feeling sick again. Dizzy and massive headaches...like the kind that make you feel like curling in a corner and screaming bloody murder because clearly there are ninjas in your head determined to take a power drill made for drilling concrete and make me feel like I was literally dying. I also would just randomly pass out...at work, at home, in the store, in the shower...yeah no baths for me...you know how that ends. It was ridiculous. So they took all kinds of head CT scans and MRIs and MRVs and every other letter that means something in the medical world...I was a human test dummy. At first they said oh she just has vertigo and brushed it off...than they found the tumor...yep I said it...a freaking TUMOR...in my BRAIN...ME! I looked at the doctor and was like...you are joking right? I have never had a fear so bad. I mean I called my mom, my best friends, my son, my dog, my uncle's best friends lizards third cousin twice removed...I called everyone...FREAKING OUT! This is it...this is how I die. I was shaking and crying and I had to stay and do more tests...it was BAD. So no it is not cancerous...blessing right? WRONG! Because in Nevada...why bother removing something in the brain that is not cancerous. Who cares if its giving her blinding debilitating headaches and making her dizzy and apparently giving me something called absence seizures….I mean who cares right? So I had to somehow live like this.

I missed a ton of work, I do not work for my day job anymore, and was pretty much a prisoner to my corner of the room screaming in agony with these headaches and going from appointment to appointment. Than...lets just add insult to injury...I get EVICTED...yep you heard it...evicted!!! I am not working...no job equals no house. Than my apartment gets broken into and I lose EVERYTHING. So I'm like ok...we need to do something...so I put on my big girl panties and get to work. Not a regular job...nope I cant hold one down...I'm completely unreliable at this point because who knows what I can do or when I can do it...so I relied on my friends and odd jobs to keep a roof over me and my son's head and food in our bellies. And yes Daisy too...I did not just abandon my dog. This took me between Nevada and Los Angeles (where I was robbed yet again...this time just my wallet) back and forth and somehow by the grace of God and sheer determination on my part...we sustained like that for 7 months! 7!! My uncle found me on his trip to LA and hears about the situation and was MAD. Why didn't you tell family blah blah blah come out to us and we will help you blah blah blah. LOL so I did. I literally was running out of steam. At this point my body is completely shutting down and I know I need help.

I drove across country on a dollar and a dream, stayed with my friend, a former Y sister with me from my Younique days...more on that later. She was in Texas, kept driving down to Florida, stayed with my aunt, and made my way all the way to Virginia where I am now. Living in a hotel for an extended period of time with my Aunt and Uncle's help getting the medical care that I need.

Hector is finally no longer being online and home schooled and is enrolled in a regular school and we are rebuilding from nothing. INSANE right? Now Younique...oh what can I say. I had a falling out with the people not the company itself. I will not name names or bad mouth people who can not defend themselves here, but lets just say when my back was against the wall...I was shamed for it. With that said I had to make a mental health decision and part ways with the company for my own sanity...as you can see I had enough going on in my life. So I lost it all. Than along comes Farmasi.

Let me tell you I was DONE...I did NOT want to do another makeup company, but I knew that network marketing was going to be my answer. I can do it from home, the hospital, the car...pretty much anywhere I'm at. But oh Farmasi….how you SUCKED me right back in. It is a company that has been around for 67 years and is globally recognized...but JUST made its way to the United States back in January. Not many people know of them or the opportunity that they can afford because it is so new...So let me just tell you without trying to sound like I'm giving a shameless plug on join my business because that's not what this is about. Lets just say its a ground level opportunity, I love how natural and clean the products are, I love the diversity in what we have to offer, and I love the humans in my team...and the comp plan won my heart and soul.

But that's it...the story of my life in a very large nut shell. Lets go down this journey together get back up...dust off...and make some magic people...because I am BACK! Time to step into some light!
