Drum roll please......

Good Morning... I am so excited to be sharing some well thought out news!!!!

As most of you know that for the past few years along with the normal insanity of life I have been dealing with a rare disease that is accompanied by viral complications, one in particular being that I have EBV DNA to put it in the most simplest terms; a rare form of cancer that is a result of acute and chronic mono and shingle breakouts. It is more complex but for right now this information serve my point. February 13 will mark my 1 year anniversary of the news I had finally went into remission from the DNA. YEA!!

Over the past year I have not had much time to not only accept the news or even accept the illness and its underlining cause and effect. Life kept moving and I did my best to catch up and at times I must say life got the best of me. Over all I have been able to slowly close some doors and let go of people, places and things that were still keeping me somewhat sick or at least in that mind set. During my illness I not only was caring for myself but also my 11 year old son. How I must say he has grown amazingly into a brilliant little man over the years, one I am very proud of. Both of us have worked hard over the years to maintain our life and we both made many sacrifices to gain some control of a illness that for years seemed to keep us just reaches away from the life we both desire for ourselves and the world around us.

I have been giving great thought over the past few months since my visit to California about my life and how I am living it. You could say I took a personal inventory. What I found at times has brought me to my knees and at others times brought tears of joy and release. It is with great pleasure that I have decide to commit fully the next 21 days to My Self, My Health and Well Being... I have decide to put myself to the challenge and I came up with what I am calling “Justine's Boot Camp”!!

Yes I have been studying and allowing my soul to guide me lately and those of you that have been following me know I have already made small changes but it is time to take it all the way. I have recruited Austin and he too is in!!! So we will be doing it as a family. My hope is to journal my experience over the next 21 days and then for the next year. To not only blog, vlog but instagram my transformation as I step into the next stage of my life.

My hope is to not only transform my life but to inspire other as well. I need to build a foundation in which all my dreams can come true and my HEALTH and WELL BEING seem to be a great areas to start with.

So first I think I should tell you briefly some of the medical challenges I face so you can see if what I am doing can help you in any area of your life as well.

Okay here is goes...

EBV {minus the dna.. }

Reoccurring Shingle breakout {can be monthly}

Reoccurring encephalitis {when EBV active can be every three days with medication}

High Blood Pressure

Food Allergies {top ones; Eggs, Chicken, Almonds, Shellfish.. to many more to name}

Gluten Sensitive {borderline}

Inflammation

Diverticulitis

B-Cell Dysfunction or abnormality

Viral Autoimmune Disease {unnamed but summited to NHGRI}

I also suffer from headache, hives and skin rashes from allergens known and unknown

wow, not sure I have ever wrote everything down like that before I just usually give up after one and refer to everything else as my petri dish of a body... { no one really cares anyways.. lol}

It does not help that I am AB- and that I seem to have got infected or sick early in my life maybe even after my first vaccination and went untreated.

I have had acute encephalitis 3 times and this last time again should of killed me. My body has been through the ringer and out the other side, not to mention the amazing things it has done to my brain. So my body too deserve to live life free of disease and pain along with me.

So I hope you will join me on this adventure and I look forward to watching the changes in my body and experiencing the expansion of my mind and most important the transformation of our lives through conscious living and eating...
