Weekly Reminder: Feminine and Sexual Health Tests


Gorgeous!
It's a new Month. I have something to share with you today. So let's go right into it.

To ensure your feminine and overall health: 

In your 20s, please run these tests.
• ​⭐️ PAP Smear (from 21 years) + *HPV DNA co-test ( *safe in virgins)
• ​⭐️ STI screening (if sexually active)
• ​⭐️ Ferritin (not just PCV)
• ​⭐️ Know your Genotype
• ​⭐️ HPV vaccine (BEST before sexual activity)
• ​⭐️ Blood pressure check
• ​⭐️ Mental health checks (burnout is a diagnosis)

​In your 30s please run these tests
• ​⭐️ Pap smear every 3 years + HPV DNA Cotesting
• ​⭐️ Clinical breast exam yearly
• ​⭐️ Full thyroid panel (if symptomatic)
• ​⭐️ Fasting insulin (picks insulin resistance early)
• ​⭐️ DVT awareness (especially if you're on hormonal birth control, frequent travels or previous pregnancies)
• ​⭐️ AMH (ovarian reserve; if you want kids in the future )

​In your 40s please run these tests
• ​⭐️ Mammogram (know your baseline)
• ​⭐️ Full hormonal panel (perimenopause is real)
• ​⭐️ Fasting insulin (especially with unexplained weight shifts)
• ​⭐️ Colorectal screening (uncomfortable but life-saving)
• ​⭐️ Bone density (if you have risk factors)
• ​⭐️ Full heart health checks

​50s & Beyond please run these tests
• ​⭐️ Cognitive Health (important but RARELY discussed)
• ​⭐️ Mammogram every 1-2years
• ​⭐️ DEXA Scan, nutrition + strength
• ​⭐️ Shingles Vaccine ( post herpetic neuralgia is life altering)
• ​⭐️ Eye Pressure check ( glaucoma risk)
• ​⭐️ Continue Heart Health assessment

Also limit your sexual partners please 🙏🏾 

I care about you. 
I love you❤️
Mama.

To Love and To Hold

Gorgeous, gather around, I want to ask you a question. If your answer is " Yes ," then this is for you. If your answer is " No ," well... if you want to stay, you can. If not, that's okay too.❤️ Do you seem to effortlessly attract broken people? I mean people who are still seriously struggling with life and its challenges in one way or another. People who don't have their lives figured out. People carrying heavy burdens. People who live in constant chaos. Are these the kind of people who somehow find their way to you, even when you're not looking? Yes ? Please come closer and sit beside me.🛋 ---------------- A few days ago, I went somewhere with a friend. As we sat there, a man-probably in his early fifties-walked up to us, exchanged greetings, and before we knew what was happening, he had uploaded his entire life story to me. All I did was ask him one question. Believe me, just one. My friend was stunned. After he left, she turned to me and...

weekly reminder: WORRY- why you should avoid it

Image
"I know that I will live to see the Lord's goodness in this present life." (Psalm 27:13 GNT) The grace of a new day is worth celebrating, remembering us that life is worth living, one day at a time.  Dear Gorgeous, You see, it’s so easy to get lost in tomorrow. We worry about what hasn’t even happened yet: the bills, the children, the job we want, the relationship we’re praying for (for the single brethren among us 🤗). Before we know it, our hearts are heavy with what ifs. But Jesus said in Matthew 6:34, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” He wasn’t dismissing our needs; He was reminding us to live in the grace of today. God gives fresh mercies every morning because He knows we cannot carry tomorrow’s load with today’s strength. Gorgeous, everything you long for will fall into place in its time. 💡 This week, remember: Worry doesn’t change tomorrow. It only steals today’s peace...

(Ponder Wednesday): What is Morality?

Image
Gorgeous,  What is Morality? Is God involved in Morality? Recently, I read a book that said that morality points to God. As in, all humans instinctively know there is right and wrong. That's why we argue using “That’s not fair!”, even when we break it ourselves. Morality is not just instinct or social conditioning. Something deeper judges our instincts. The moral law is real because it tells us what we ought to do, not just what we actually do. So, If a moral law exists, then there must be a moral Law-giver. This points to something like a Mind behind the universe. Because there is a mind behind the universe, we do have cause to be uneasy because this Mind is not neutral. It expects goodness, and we consistently fall short. That should unsettle us. Morality isn’t made up. It points beyond humanity to God, and exposes our failure. Now, what do you think? Do you agree? Can we be morally right without God; ie. only relying on our instincts? If you loved this piece, please ...
