Alive

AT THE BEGINNING OF MY BATTLE WITH CANCER MY DAUGHTER BEKAH STARTED A BLOG ON CARING BRIDGE. ORG.

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT SITE!  

I'VE INCLUDED MY JOURNEY ON CARING BRIDGE ALONG WITH THE ONGOING BLOG I AM STARTING TODAY.

SOME OF YOU WERE WITH ME EVERY STEP OF THE TREACHEROUS PATH, BUT SOME NOT.  

HOPE is the most important thing to hold on to when faced with a disaster of any sort.  HOPE brings us through to the sunshine once again.

It's the will to keep focusing on the goal even when it is completely out of sight. God's message of love and the love and support of everyone around me gave me the courage to stay focused on the goal of wellness.   For me the messages of hope that I was receiving from my circle of loving family and friends uplifted me and renewed my hope every day!

Whatever it is that you are facing-- know that God is a healer and it is His will that you are healed and whole.  Whether it be in this life or the next your wellness of body, mind, and spirit are His desire for you.  

Here I am, one year later from a weak and very low point in my recovery, giving voice lessons to students, singing and performing with Steve Sears in SeaWing, in rehearsal for Mamma Mia (playing the role of Donna!!), canning and freezing vegetables from my beautiful garden, participating in church life at Community United Church, gathering with family and friends, enjoying every day that God gives me here.  

My wish is that my journey recorded here will give you hope for whatever journey you are on.  

Blessings and love
