Chef Kimi Karma

Another year; more knowledgeable and gainful experience. I push myself past my limits, and I pay for it every time, greatly. But I've learned my lesson; I'm listening to my body. It's time to rest. It''s time to recharge and regain my energy and recover. I've been in and out of the hospital for weeks, more ill than I've ever been. It's time to recognize my health and know that I can't take it for granted. Will I ever heal and be able to do everything just like a normal person would? Probably not. Will this cause a flare in my pain and conditions? Heck yes. Was it worth it? Every damn second. So, with that being said, it's time to take it easy and enjoy a low-key birthday.... to celebrate later! But one thing is for sure; this is my first birthday where I didn't spend the whole day crying and having a dreadful experience. So, for that, I am beyond grateful and blessed. I love you all, each and every one of you. My heart is THAT BIG. 🫶🤗💖 Talk soon; Chef Kimi. 👩‍🍳 💖 #chronicillness #chronicpain #invisibleillness #disability #disablityawareness #disabledandcute #trauma #faith #godheals #karma #goodvibes #positivevibes #empath #energyhealing #healing #chef #chefsofinstagram #inspirational #motivation #empoweringwomen

When I felt so empty and lost; I was redirected to something even greater. A purpose to help others in so many different ways. We are going to state, baby! I am so proud of my kids! Hard work pays off. Don't give up. Cry, rant and rave if you have too. But know that God has your back. At my sickest, I pushed thru. Know that; You are amazing for facing life with so much courage and determination. Positive shifts are coming, things will change for you; sooner than you know. You are doing your best and you are doing a GREAT job. You are giving this your all and it's more than enough, dont let anyone tell you otherwise. I hope you are ready for all the amazing things to start happening for you. As I reflect on the last year of my life; a lot happened. I became stronger than I ever knew I could. I handled things, that I never thought I would survive with grace. I battled for my life, health, freedom and peace. The pain made me who I am; I became kinder to the right people and focused on who would appreciate me and my efforts. I stopped wasting so much energy on toxic people and it was the hardest thing I could have done. But it was so rewarding. Find happiness and appreciation in all the small things. Here's to another year of getting back more than I ever lost. #TrustInGod #faith #faithoverfear #karma #survivor #warriors #chronicpain #chronicillness #invisibleillness #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticviolencesurvior #spoonie #disabledandcute #dailyaffirmations #positivevibes #goodkarma #goodvibes #empoweringwomen #inspirational #birthday

When nothing is certain, everything is possible. Never wish another pain, if they hurt you; they hurt. Wish them healing, that's what they need. You can support someone or be against them, either way they are going to make their goals happen. My best piece of advice is do it anyways. If no one believes in you and tells you that YOU CAN'T; is all the more reason to prove them wrong. It shows you their limits, not yours. Doers do it tired, do it on empty, continue on this path because you have a MISSION. God only knows what you've been thru. God only knows what they've said about you. God only knows the real you. There's a love that only God knows. Your path is harder because your calling is HIGHER. I can guarantee you that one day, everything you've been thru has prepared you for your future, your purpose and your destiny; Hang on. This is the year of your best self and you need to walk away from anything that leaves you feeling less than your highest self. Don't allow yourself to be small for anyone else, be weird, be kind, be quirky, be uniquely you. Don't hold back, be weird. Be enough for yourself first, worry about the rest of the world later. Know that your dreams were planted in your heart for a reason and you are here for a purpose. Once you find your path, you must fight for your life to stay on it. The devil will constantly test and challenge you; but you are invisible and the world is your oyster. You can make a difference in this world. If no one else believes in you, I do and so does God. So believe in yourself and know that's all that truly matters. 🙏 💖 #instagod #faith #godheals #instagood #instadaily #instamood #dailythoughts #dailyaffirmations #motivation #inspiration #strongwomen #selflove #foryoupage #mindfulness #spoonie #disabledandcute #disabled #chronicillness #chronicpain #autoimmunedisease #rheumatoid #autoimmune #empoweredwomenempowerwomen #domesticabuse #survivor #warrior #weekendvibes #weekend

Good morning, all you beautiful souls! 🌞💖 May you all have a lovely, relaxing Sunday. Know that your inner beauty matters most and life will get easier soon; Don't give up. I've got a full day myself. Remember that you don't always have to be "busy" to be productive - taking a break for your mental and physical health is just as productive. Some people will never know or understand all the battles you are fighting because you've put on such a brave face, and your energy radiates positivity. Will people find fault with this? YES, GIRL! Continue to be yourself, love others, and be KIND! Life will all fall into place. Please be patient and not so hard on yourself. My word for this year was going to be pivot. Because no matter what happens, what doors close, what trauma and stresses I face- I take a minute to cry, re-adjust, and pivot. But my therapist and everyone around me continues to remind me that I am beyond resilient. I always fall and rise again because I am a fighter & survivor. In hate, I will find love. I come alive inside these flames. I fail to recognize everything that I've made it thru on my own, and I don't spend much time reflecting on where I've been, where I am now, and how far I've come. But goodness gracious, it has been HELL. But guess what? I survived my worst days, the hardest experiences and challenges that I might ever have too. And I am still here, fighting for a change for the world and a better life for everyone. I hope you find some peace and inspiration in my words for the day. Love you all! 💖🥰😘 - Chef Kimi Karma

Hi Lovelies! 💖 I hope you all are having a lovely new year. It's going by so quickly already - it's hard to believe it's already going to be February. I've been working a lot behind the scenes. Teaching swim lessons as well as coaching the special olympics. A mentoring program, doing speaking engagements to empower others who have had a hard life, but thru the struggles - you can still create the life you've always dreamed of. I have also been putting a lot of time into my self-help/biography book. I am working on myself, healing thru therapy, church, my faith, and trauma groups. I am relaunching my blog/website as well as continuing to offer cooking classes to everyone, young or old, disabled, veterans, etc. Volunteering taking care of animals of all sorts, even squirrels and raccoons. I have lots of surprises coming soon, lots of new content coming your way is one of them! My life has been extremely challenging these last few years. But I appreciate everyone who I've met along the way and has followed me on my journey. The new me continues to evolve. Surviving domestic violence, being shunned by my whole family, struggling with my health, etc. It's been a wild ride, it has taught me so much though and it's made me who I am. It's allowed me to help others in many different ways. And that one of my biggest goals in life is to be true to myself and remain kind to others as well as make a difference. You may be a little too bright for this world. You will be misunderstood, judged, lied about, kicked in the teeth at your lowest- but fight for your life and power. It's worth it, I promise you. Your strength and exactly who you are matters. The world needs you exactly as you are. We all have a purpose, one day it will all make sense, I promise.
