Expectation vs Reality
Greetings my fellow travelers! I started the year with GREAT intentions of attending 365 classes and working through the Soul Injury book. What is it they say about “best laid plans”, and who is “They” anyway?!? Since starting treatment for my leukemia/lymphoma I have found that my expectations are not lining up with my reality. I’m still working through the Soul Injury book and find it to be one of the best books I’ve ever read on multiple levels. I’m going through treatment and it’s definitely working which is GREAT, but I’m finding that it leaves me fatigued at the most unexpected times. I hope to see y’all at the next class. May the universe continue to shine on you in the most wonderful ways!!

Thanks for sharing this article
Letter to Pain
I wrote my first letter of “loss” to my use to be BFF and the pain of losing caused. At first I wasn’t going to mail it but I decided I would. Getting started was difficult but once I started the words just flowed. I don’t want a response and will be disappointed if I get one. I want to move on.

It takes a great amount of courage to write this kind of letter. Sending hugs!
Excited and Nervous
I’m starting chemotherapy today for leukemia/blood cancer. I was diagnosed in 2022. Four years without needing treatment was great, but things progressed over the past year and it’s time. You all have helped me become more authentic with my life and I appreciate you!!

@Sharon Bennett so far so good. I’m feeling better than I have in a while and I’ll take it! I have labs and second round of infusions this week. Fingers crossed for good results on labs as that will be the real measure of how things are looking. Thanks for asking 🙏

@Sage Cavanaugh thank you sister Sage!
Good or evil
I don’t see LEFT or RIGHT anymore. I only see GOOD or EVIL!!! Actions and inaction tell me way more about who’s GOOD and who’s EVIL than what anyone says. I know that the potential for good and evil exists in each of us. I start from the premise that people are good and then I observe.

@Donna Masotti Thanks for sharing your thoughts! That’s what I posted this for, to get people thinking and talking about it. I try to take into consideration that everyone is coming from their own experiences. I used to think that everyone was trying to be the best person they could be, but I have seen so much unbelievably unkind, hateful and cruel behavior that I don’t believe that anymore. When I say “good or evil” I don’t mean that people are either one or the other. I just realize that good and evil exist in all of us and I think it should be called out for what it is. I feel that we all have tip-toed around this for so long not wanting to hurt anybody’s feelings that the people who lean towards evil feel emboldened. Peer pressure is a good thing. It keeps most people from going to their dark side. Just my thoughts.

I just wanted to further clarify my thoughts. I’m not saying that the Left is Good and the Right is Evil. I think that we human beings are complex and we are more conservative on some issues and more liberal on others. I myself am fiscally conservative, and a rule and law follower AND I am more socially liberal/progressive when it comes to education, healthcare, spiritual beliefs and helping people in need.

Everybody dies, not everybody lives! We live with a terminal condition called life. We only get one shot at it, hopefully we do it well!!
