Hello, my name is Donella Kay, and I’d like to introduce myself.
I am a 60-year-young woman who has always placed great importance on my health. In doing so, I serve as a role model for my children. I feel truly blessed to have a loving family. My husband is my rock. He provides constant support and grounding. I am also a proud mother of five grown children, each now raising their own families. Additionally, as a grandmother, affectionately known as LaLa, I find joy in spoiling my nine grandchildren.
As someone who has always prioritized health and wellness, experiencing a stroke was a life-altering moment. It challenged my beliefs about my body and mindset. Moreover, the physical recovery has been a daily journey. Through this journey, I have discovered that my mindset is just as crucial for healing.
This experience has heightened my awareness of the struggles faced by individuals with hidden and invisible illnesses. They often encounter challenges that remain unseen by others.
Moving forward, I have found that recovery requires not only physical strength but also mental resilience and determination. I have learned that a positive outlook, self-compassion, and a strong will are essential for overcoming setbacks. Consequently, my journey has transformed my understanding of health and wellness. It highlights the importance of recognizing and validating the experiences of those with invisible conditions.
Furthermore, I have realized that daily positive affirmations and journaling significantly improve my mental and physical recovery. These practices allow me to stay focused on what truly matters.
Finally, I am dedicated to empowering others to embrace their unique flaws as they seek balance in their mental and physical health.
