What I Believe
Sobre
Fue en ese momento de mi vida cuando los médicos no sabían qué hacer, por lo tanto; todos acordaron enviarme a Nueva York. Luego pasé un mes en el Hospital Presbiteriano de Colombia. Como resultado, los médicos me diagnosticaron esclerosis lateral amiotrófica (ALS) (también conocida como enfermedad de Lou Gehrig). Los médicos predijeron que mi esperanza de vida no superaría los 2 años y le pidieron a mi familia que me diera lo que quisiera. En mi corazón, tenía esperanza y fé.

Through shared experiences, reflections, and practical perspectives, this blog invites you to explore different ways of improving everyday environments and lifestyles, while honoring dignity, independence, and accessibility. It is a place to pause, breathe, and see life from new angles — not with fear, but with purpose.
Faith plays an important role here. Not as pressure, but as grounding. As a reminder that even in uncertainty, growth is possible. That strength can exist alongside vulnerability. And that all things are possible when life is lived with purpose, intention, and trust.
Whether you are navigating disability, supporting a loved one, or learning how to adapt to new challenges, this space exists to uplift, to guide, and to gently remind you that your life still carries purpose — and your story still matters.
