I help 

Anyone who needs to feel seen and smile with the little things

I share hope, perspective, and honest reflections for anyone who needs a moment to breathe, feel seen and smile.

I want to give back by sharing what I've learned from living through and with that gave me LIFE

Don't wait to find out you are dying to start living

No esperes a tener que luchar por una segunda oportunidad para amar(te), vivir y disfrutar(te) la vida

Quotes that get me through

When God pushes you to the edge of difficulty trust him fully because two things can happen. Either he'll catch you when you fall or he will teach you how to fly

Hi, I'm Juanita

A dreamer

A person with a passion for helping others and seeing them smile. After facing the big questions in life while being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease at 13 (2012) and diagnosed again at 20 (2020), I found my mission in sharing my experience and helping others. I am now a Physiotherapist and want others (whether living through disease or not) to feel understood and smile through my writing and experiences.
