Lupus In Color

Dear Lupus, It doesn't matter what you try to do to me anymore. I am worth more than sitting around waiting on you to strike. So, I'm going to keep living and thriving in spite of your tricks. I'm going to keep moving my body, keep taking care of my mental health and keep defeating you daily. You do not control me, I won't let you have that powered over me any longer. Thriving Beyond Lupus, Me

A candid discussion with Melanie Igwe, COO of VIUHealth about clinical trials and it's importance.

Slow down your mind standing meditation.

Dear Lupus, You came uninvited like the thief you are. You invaded my body and my life silently and you have no mercy. You have stolen my life's work, my health, my vision of myself. You tear at my relationships with a relentless passion damaging anything and everything you can. However, you forgot when you planned your war, I am more than my work. Relationships worth having heal or stand steady under attack. I continue to rise again and again to reinvent myself. And most important there is a part of me you can never touch without my permission, my soul. You can't have me lupus, I'm not yours to keep. in hatred, Me!

Dear Lupus You Can’t hold me down. I’m in the fight of my life!

A meditative walk involves focused walking. All across the globe, walking meditation is a popular kind of mindfulness meditation. Walking meditation, at its most basic, is just paying attention to your feet, your body, and the ground under you. It’s simple, needs no special equipment, and can be included into your daily routine. The purpose of the meditative walk is for us to just appreciate our body as it sustains us through our lupus journey. To take time to feel how important it is to take care of our bodies and make time to add movement in our lives. Walk with us twice in the month of May for lupus awareness month. Wear your lupus shirt or purple and take a 20-minute meditative walk. Can’t walk outside? Walk in place at home. Unable to walk? Just get some movement in your body while listening to our walk meditation. Local walk will take place at Crump Park in Glen Allen.
