Update from Treatment

October, 2012

You’ve been asking how I am. Here is a much needed and very happy update about my current health, heart and spirit. 

As you know, on August 24, 2012, I underwent brain tumor re-sectional surgery to remove a complete malignant Stage 4 Glioma Blastoma (tumor located behind and above my left ear). On Thursday, October, 18, 2012, I began simultaneous six weeks of both oral daily chemo and radiation (M-F) therapies to make sure that they got any “floating” cells!

Although my energies are not at my usual levels and I am reserving my energies, I can report that after day 9 of radiology that I am feeling well, happy, and in very high spirits!

As many of you know, that my mother Pat, from Michigan has been here since August 23, 2012. In addition to her support of me for treatment, meals, and emotion support. One of the most amazing outcomes is a relationship with my most wonderful beautiful Mother. I’ve not spent more than a week with her since I was 18 years old. Now that I am at 54, I can report that my Mom is very strong and patient (she says she’s a “tough old bird”). We are experiencing a deepening of our relationship. What an unexpected and powerful blessing!!

Many of you have asked to see me.  If I were not currently in the process of assisting Mom to prepare my former house to sell, as I go through all my stuff (way too much), prepare an estate/moving sale on Nov 9-11, and prepare the space of my new studio in the home of wonderful friend Elizabeth Willis’, and going to regular recovery meetings, I would be meeting with all of you hanging out and showing you how well I am really, really doing! I am experienced in the Love and Light of the Divine, through all of you – those of you close, those of you from a distance, and all of those from the other world providing amazing support.

As I let loose of the one trapeze, I hoped to eventually be able to catch the next one. Change is hard. But not knowing what is next can even more difficult. In my process of surrender, letting go, and turning it over to the Goddess/God/Creator, I find that there is always more than I personally could ever have envisioned for me, my future, and the ministry that I plan to continue in January of 2013.
