Did You Know?
FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) is a kidney condition that’s more common among Black individuals but why?

➡️ The Answer Lies in Our Genes.
Research shows that some people of African ancestry carry changes in a gene called APOL1. This gene helped our ancestors survive certain infections, like sleeping sickness but today, it can increase the risk of kidney diseases like FSGS.

👀 What does this mean?
If you're of African descent and have a family history of kidney disease or diabetes, it’s important to watch for early signs like:

Swelling around the eyes or feet

Foamy urine

Rapid weight gain

🩺 Don’t wait for symptoms to get worse.
✅ Get checked.
✅ Ask questions.
✅ Protect your kidneys early!

💬 Drop a 💚 if you’ve learned something new.

Some doors don’t open until you knock loudly.Some opportunities don’t find you until you show up prepared and visible.
This is your reminder:
Don’t shrink.
Don’t second-guess.
Choose clarity over confusion.
Choose action over delay.
You’ve got this💪

July 20: Mid-Year Check-In (Rest is Still Progress)

Dear gentle soul
We’re halfway through the year, and maybe your goals feel delayed… or your energy feels low.

But hear this:
✨ Rest is not laziness. It’s sacred.
✨ Pausing isn’t failure. It’s wisdom.
✨ You are still growing, even when it’s quiet.

Today, give yourself permission to:

Breathe without rushing.

Celebrate the little wins.

Realign, not panic.

You’re not behind. You’re becoming. 🌱

Live well, at your own pace.
– Doris

Three Golden Rules of Food We Eat

03/07/2025

Lately I’ve been starting my mornings with a glass of water before anything else and honestly, it makes a difference. It wakes up my body, clears my head, and feels like a small win before the day even begins. Sometimes the simplest habits are the most powerful.💧

July is here — my birth month, my season of light. It’s been a rollercoaster, but I’m truly grateful for how far I’ve come. Cheers to growth, grace, and glowing through it all. 🌟🎉

Midweek can feel like a stretch.
Especially when it’s grey and rainy.

Just a reminder:
You’re allowed to be tired.
You’re allowed to not have it all figured out.
You’re allowed to take today one soft breath at a time.

🌧️ Be kind to your middle — not just your beginning or end.
