PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!!
Hello everyone!
Warning, this is going to be a long post so please bare with me and read to the very end.
First, I know I have been MIA and I apologize again for my absence. I wanted to go live and talk with all of you about what has been going on the last 9 months but I just have not been able to get there without crying so, here I am with my little novella. 😁
My last live party was December 2019. I had every intention on coming back after the first of the year but unfortunately I was sidelined in January. I went in for my annual checkup, blood work, etc. for medication maintenance. Routine right? Well, not so much. Turns out my doctor had been monitoring my blood tests for a while and decided it was time for me to be to be seen by a Hematologist/Oncologist (which I saw in February). We had set everything up for more extensive tests in March but... then along came COVID-19 and delayed everything. Luckily my numbers were not indicating an emergent need so we held off until September. As of right now, I still don't have an definitive answer or confirmed diagnosis as to what they are thinking is going on with me (still waiting on a few more test results and some additional tests to be done). I do know what they think it is and are testing me for but right now, I really don't want to put it out there until we know for sure. So prayers would be greatly appreciated.
The reason I have not posted before now or gone live to share this with all of you is because I had not told my mother (with my family in agreement) . As most all of you know, my mom had a stroke 23 months ago leaving her with paralysis on her left side and some brain damage. Sometimes she just doesn't have the capacity to reasonably process and handle things of this nature and tends to get very emotional. Let's be honest, who would handle this well when it's your child! With her it's way worse because all she does is sit in her wheelchair all day everyday and has nothing else to do but obsess over things. This was just not something I could put on her until we knew for sure what we are dealing with. The only reason I am doing this now is because it was accidentally slipped that I had a doctor's appointment and tests and she wanted to know for what. I just could not look her in her eyes and lie to her so I sat down and explained everything. She did not react the way I had originally expected. In fact, I don't think she understands and comprehends what is actually going on with me. This is assuredly a blessing!
Now, if your still with me, it brings me to why the long post to begin with. As you have probably figured out by now, I will NOT be continuing my Paparazzi business. I just can't do the routine 2 hour plus live parties multiple times a week anymore. Unfortunately I do still have A LOT of inventory that I need to sell. I already have an idea/plan on how I would like to do this but there are a couple of details that still need to work out so everything goes smoothly. All items will definitely be tax free and either prices will be reduced or shipping will be free (maybe both 🤷♀️). Hopefully, if I don't have to evacuate for Hurricane Delta, I will make another post in a couple of days with instructions.
I cannot say "Thank You" enough for all the support you have given me with this venture over the last three years. I wish I could have continued but unfortunately there are just too many restrictions by Paparazzi that does not make is possible for me under my current situation. I do have a big favor to ask of you all... if you could please, please share my page and/or the posts to your personal page once I get them started again it would mean the world to me!
I love each and every one of you and will be in touch very soon! God Bless You All!
