It's back.

The world has stopped spinning again. Mom's cancer is back. It was found her bloodwork, when checking her out for a cold and other problems. We will be meeting with her doctor tomorrow and she will be having a bone marrow biopsy conducted on Wednesday and treatment plan should be established after that. Prayers of peace and deep breathing would be appreciated. Think we are all still in a state of shock. Though the outpouring of love we have received from all of you is beyond measure. Love and hope will be our cure until the doctors come up with something more tangible! Love you all more than you can ever know!

Re-openning the heart...

Sometimes life is hard. It's messy and it’s the longest road imaginable. During those times I find myself closing myself off to the world. Hardening my shell, and my heart, digging down deep to find the resolve to push myself through it all. Transition back from this place into a place of openness and humanity can be extremely difficult. Often I find myself vaguely aware (or completely unaware of this transition), until finally the apple hits me on the head and I realize how dark a hole I have dug. It's in that moment that the light finally shines through. I rediscover the beauty in empathy, compassion, and hope. Humanity is a beautiful creation in which I am a part. I am so deeply grateful to have been reminded of that today. To the one who brought me back to the community thank you. (Even if that transition broke a portion of my heart. The fleeting pain was worth the lesson).
