Loving this outfit!!! Can I say I felt so absolutely cute styling in this black and leopard ensemble! Black, leather leggings, black leather knee-high Frye riding boots, black off the shoulder, long sleeve body con bodysuit, newsboy messenger black suede hat, black Ray-Ban sunglasses, pretty makeup, silver jewelry, and to top it off, this absolutely incredibly fluffy and gorgeous leopard print fur coat!

I had my husband snap a couple of photos of me before heading out this weekend for a fun night out with my beautiful blind girlfriend Tracy! Dinner and a night of karaoke was crazy amazing especially when I felt so good and felt so confidently beautiful! I’m still healing from my eye removal surgery, hence the black Ray-Ban glasses, but nevertheless, with one eye still sewn shut ha ha, I still felt like 1 million bucks!

In these photos, I’m posing in my great room of my home, posing with my long black hair styled straight, the gorgeous fur coat on and off my shoulders, looking and feeling ready to party!

What a way to celebrate feeling so good!!! Five weeks post getting my eye removed and coming off my OXY! Have been so depressed and going through withdrawals, but now healing beautifully and feeling amazingly!!!

Had such a fun time Halloween night at my friend’s Halloween party getting all dressed up as a super cute sexy pirate cowgirl!!! I had a vision of what I wanted my outfit to look like, and I shopped for each of the pieces of my ensemble online, and in my closet, lol, to bring this whole look together! I am so proud of the way it turned out! OMG, let me tell you I went from wearing my very cute sweats and hair in a ponytail, to looking like this and what a transformation it made in how I felt! This outfit completely changed the way I was feeling inside, as soon as I put this outfit on, I looked in my mind‘s eye mirror and said to myself, there’s Joy!!!!!! I’m back!!!

Photo description; here I am posing in front of a very festive Halloween backdrop. I am posing all cute in different positions, showing off my ensemble! I am wearing a black suede cowgirl hat, long, beautiful, brown, wavy curls hair down to my booty, I have a black leather pirate patch on my left eye to cover the eye that was removed and sewn shut for healing, pretty natural makeup, nude lip, silver rhinestone fringe, dangle earrings, about 5 inches long lol, rhinestone, choker and rhinestone dangle layered necklaces and matching rhinestone bracelets, paired it with a black fishnet rhinestone bodysuit that’s off the shoulder, with a black leather lace up corset on top. Moving down my body, you see my black fishnet rhinestone pantyhose, black short, short booty shorts with black fringe tassel miniskirt, you can see my mid drift and skin through the fishnets, and I paired the outfit with my Free brand new knee-high suede riding boots. And for the final touch, lol, my nails are black and silver glitter sparkle! So so pretty! In some of the photos, I am smiling, others. I’m looking serious and confidently beautiful! I feel beautiful! I am happy!!!

Could use your prayers right now at this very moment! I am going through oxy withdrawals and it’s awful!!! I’ve been trying to sleep through them, I’m not completely off of oxy, but spacing out my dosages about every 14 hours and my body is Freaking out!!! Going through panic attacks in cold sweats, shaking! Just could use your encouragement and prayers right now I know I can get through, I’ve done it before. I’ll do it again!!! But feeling your love, would make me feel better right now. I’m gonna get through! Love you.

PS. The I socket is healing nicely! I’m in no pain, just the pain of withdrawals right now. I can’t wait to get on the other side of this mountain so I can enjoy the freedom of living pain-free!!!

Well, I’m back!!! Minus one eye ball, hahaha, but doing well in spite of the pain! Still so hard to believe I lost my eye! I’m banished up really good, so can’t tell exactly how things are looking, but I do know I have some swelling and my eyelid is sone shut for the time being.

Thank you all for your beautiful sweet messages of love that has been pouring in, you truly have been an encouragement to me during this season, and I’m greatly appreciative for each and everyone of you.

I would love to say hi to you all, so I will be going live on my YouTube channel this evening at 6 PM Pacific standard time.

I am bandaged up really good from my hairline of my forehead, all the way down to my lower cheekbone. I am so glad it’s over with, now on the road to recovery to get my life back!!! Right now I’m pretty numbed up, so keep me in your prayers that the pain stays manageable as the hours go by. I will keep you all posted, you know I love talking, and it’s a good distraction from my pain, lol. Love you all so very very much and Just thank you for being there for me.

So tomorrow morning, 6:15 AM is the time, the day I’ve been waiting for!

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as tomorrow morning approaches quickly. I am going to Oregon Health science University Hospital to have my left eye removed due to severe pain that has been taking over my life for several years. I can’t believe this day is here, so surreal, but I know it needs to be done so I can be set free to live my life, free of pain!

Will you stand and pray with me?! Praying for God‘s peace and comfort to rest on me at this very moment, washing away, all fear, all anxiety, all worries. I know God has me in His hands, and because I trust in Him, He is going to bring me through this victoriously!

I will be vlogging the whole experience tomorrow, hoping to make a video from my hospital bed before surgery to post for all of you. Knowing that I have all of you guys lifting me up truly is bringing me such encouragement and comfort. I love you all and I will keep you posted on everything as soon as I can!

What a beautiful day it’s been!

Today marked the beginning of week two in my intensive outpatient group therapy—and wow, each session continues to bring new topics, fresh insights, and meaningful experiences.

This group setting truly feels like the perfect fit for me. As many of you know, I love to share. My life has always been an open book, and in this space, sharing is not only welcomed—it’s encouraged. I’ve really been enjoying telling my stories and hearing others open up about theirs. Today’s discussion focused on attachment styles and how we can intentionally create positive moments and experiences in our lives.

I had the opportunity to share about when I lost my sight completely in 2008. I spoke about the overwhelming challenges I faced, how I truly believed my life was over, and how being a mother to two baby girls gave me the strength to keep going. I talked about the decision I made to change my perspective, to not let my loss defeat me. I chose to find joy through the darkness.

Sharing how my blindness has actually brightened my life! I explained how, because I’ve walked through those hard places, I’m now able to offer hope to others navigating through their own struggles. I told the group that I wouldn’t change my life for anything, because what I’ve gained from my challenges far outweighs my losses. The response was overwhelming—they were moved. More than anything, in class I’m feeling seen, heard, and truly understood. It feels like I’m right where I’m meant to be.

After class something sweet happened. The instructor was about to help guide me out to the lobby, when a classmate came over and gently asked, “Can I ask you a question?” I said, “Of course.” She smiled and said, “Why aren’t you teaching these classes?” I laughed and thanked her sincerely. I told her that while I’ve been through a lot, I’m still learning and there’s always room to grow. She was so kind, saying she’d spent the entire class wondering why I wasn’t leading it. But I know why I’m here. Maybe it’s for something greater than I even realize. I don’t know what that is yet, but I’m open, I’m ready, and I’m so excited for what’s to come in the weeks ahead.

Photo description:
I’m standing confidently in my lush green yard, soaking in the warmth after class. I’m wearing a textured taupe crop top with dark blue wide-leg carpenter jeans. My long black hair is styled in a high ponytail with a rhinestone scrunchie. I’ve accessorized with large silver hoop earrings, a Tiffany-style chain necklace, bracelets, rings, and rhinestone espadrille wedges. My makeup is soft with a nude lip, long lashes, and sparkly silver fingernails. I felt cute, confident, and very ready to finally warm up after freezing in class, definitely bringing my jean jacket next time!
