Whew! Talk about a breast cancer marathon. From the shocking diagnosis to my double boobectomies, the implants of my bionic boobs and subsequent challenges of taking estrogen-suppressing and depressing pills, I’ve finally crossed the five-year finish line. Hang on while I catch my breath.

I couldn’t have done it without you, my readers, my family, and friends who cheered me on every step of the way. This blog has been a life-saver. Literally.

Nightbirde…..

I have been listening to a brave young woman, Nightbirde. She is so beautiful, her eyes glows with joy and she moved so gently. She stole my mind and my heart. Music is poetry and her songs.. Lessons.

“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy,” Marczewski

Today is a warm Michigan Summer day. I will burn sage and pray for my world.

I will ask healing for people who are sick and not feeling well.

I will pray for people with cancer, to be clean of the cancer.

I will ask the river, the sky and the earth.

Please teach our world to love peace, not war.

I am thankful for someone who taught  me.

“I am okay. We can be lost sometime.””Nightbirde,”

She is in my prayers.

I pray she will have a long life, the cancer to be gone forever.
