A mindful rhythm for optimal living
Each day is a new canvas. While I live with lupus, stroke, and kidney failure, I choose to show up — not perfectly, but with purpose. Here’s a look at my daily flow. It’s not strict or fixed — it adapts with the day, just like life does.
“We cannot always control outcomes, but we can control our daily intentions.”
On this page, I will provide regular updates on the changes I have made to my daily routine to improve my quality of life as a dialysis patient along with other alternatives that I am seeking help from. So stay tuned...

I added Acacia Fiber from NowFoods and Anthony's to my daily diet, as research has shown that it may help the body absorb toxins and lower creatine levels. If you are interested to learn more about acacia fiber and it's role in promoting renal health, here are a few published studies that you might be interested in:

This isn’t a checklist for perfection. It’s a living, breathing routine that evolves with me. Some days I complete it fully, some days I don’t — and that’s okay.
Take what serves you. Build your own rhythm.
