My Healing Journey – April 29 – 2021

My Healing Journey – April 29 – 2021

It was a windy day at the hospital today, as I had one final scan before my surgery at 10:30 tomorrow. I take the words of this dedication seriously, and pray for such wisdom, courage, grace, and compassion in this journey. After a big process of discernment, I’m having a lumpectomy + radiation, and I…

My Healing Journey – April 27 2021

A thousand thank-you’s for the beautiful responses to my announcements that I’m dancing with cancer again. I can’t tell you how meaningful your support is. I’m especially grateful for the women who shared their own cancer stories with me. I’m heading into surgery on Friday. I’m feeling optimistic, well-equipped, and confident in my surgeon and…

My Healing Journey – April 18, 2021

I have some not-great news to share. After my journey with breast cancer in 2019, I thought I was out of the woods. Unfortunately, I have another tumor. The news isn’t good, but it’s not as bad as it could be. For that I’m very grateful. My lymph nodes look clear, the tumor is small,…

My Healing Journey – May 25 2020

I really appreciate the generous response to my last post. Social media is a complex beast, but when it’s good, it’s very good, and it’s been very good to me in many ways. Thank you. Part of my healing journey around cancer has been to get clear on who I am, and to shift my…

My Healing Journey – May 19, 2020

Hello Friends I’ve been quietly back in social media land for a bit, but I wanted to make a post to really arrive here after my hiatus. July 9th will mark one year since my diagnosis of breast cancer, and it’s hard to believe that I’ve almost made a full cycle of the seasons with…

Hello Friends (There’s an explanation for the fuzzy photo, read on.) I’ve been under the radar for a few months, as I navigate this journey with breast cancer.

A Ritual to Help Move Your Grief

Rituals are a powerful healing tool for shifting the energetic pattern in a situation or in a space. If you’re dealing with grief, either from a death that’s happened recently or one that’s coming up in the future, a ritual can help you move that energy of grief through you, and out of you, so…

My Healing Journey – November 30, 2019

Hi Friends, I’ve been quiet for a few weeks, incubating in the healing process as I move through my journey with breast cancer. I’ve decided to take a break from active work with Soul Passages while I do this. I’ll keep sending newsletters and updates, but will be re-posting old videos instead of making new…

My Healing Journey – November 5, 2019

I spent part of this afternoon in a new patient orientation class for cancer patients. I spent the rest of the afternoon prone on the couch, recovering from the intensity of the class. The content of the class was great, the instructor was wonderful, and the array of resources and support available (all for free)…

My Healing Journey – October 21, 2019

Many thanks for your patience with my silence as I’ve been recovering from surgery last month. I needed to take a complete break to let myself heal, and it’s been well worth it. I’m feeling healthy and strong again, although I still tire easily. This is a marathon not a sprint. The good news is…
