looking for a raw food chef

Anyone know of a raw food chef who can work about 6 hours per day in Vista...some friends of mine are looking for someone special ...I would love to do it myself but not able at this time...since my diet has had to change so drastically away from eating and chewing raw foods...raw juices still good...I'm not the best person for the job...someone who can also prepare dehydrated goodies as well...let me know ...take care...

no chemo last friday...

I showed up to the hospital on Friday afternoon for chemo..location changed due the holiday schedule...I was hooked up waiting for the chemo and the pharmacist called the Dr. because my blood levels were too low for chemo...white count is scary low and my red count is very low also...Dr. Bahador said it was ok to proceed even though it was low due to the protocol for the 3rd chemo in a row and it's my 4th cycle...I decided on my own to postpone it because I  wouldn't be able to work all week until the blood levels increased again...I opted to skip a week and start again next week if my blood levels improve...I have to wear a mask this week in public and it's even more important that students and friends do not come to classes or visit me with any symptoms at all as I'm at serious risk for infection...

The good news...I feel fantastic...just hiked over 2 hours with mostly hills and I did well and I feel motivated to have a great day and to enjoy that I'm not chemo sick this weekend...

Sending love to all...maybe I'll see you in classes this week! Check side panel for schedule info...

no yoga this Thursday at Soul...join me...

Please join me for yoga tonight at Yoga Vista at 6pm as an option for Thursday...will miss all of you for Thursday night class...

My friend Jolie is teaching at Yoga Swami's in Encinitas at 10:45am on Thanksgiving morning...I'm thinking about going if I feel good...anyone want to join me? We can share yoga together ...

Chemo is now back on for Friday not Wednesday...I have openings for private training on Tues and Wed...would love to share what I do with you in a wonderful warm and intimate setting...perhaps you have family in town and you would like to share in a special session or two....let me know ...760-707-7610

Warm love to all,
Summer

recovering from chemo

Chemo on Friday cycle 4 number 2...again felt nauseated right away...came home and rested and stayed on the sofa for 2 days...then Sunday morning ...woke up to water coming through  my door...my door at my house leaks water when it rains...an ongoing annoying problem since we moved in over a year ago...thank goodness for handy dandy friends who came over and helped me...taped the door with special waterproof tape and plastic...water still seeping in...the door was supposed to be fixed months ago....now ...still a problem...what happened to people doing their job...caring about their work....it turns out the builder made major errors with the french doors of this model...they won't fix it...still waiting for the landlord and construction team to do their part....

Had a bowel obstruction scare last night...horrible stomach cramps and nausea...stayed with me for several hours and went away....WHEW....feeling great this morning...preparing for work...love to all...

Hi Friends!

I just went on a wonderful walk...listening to my teacher Pema ...getting myself ready for another day of chemo...I'm on the second round of the 4th cycle...I feel wonderful ...also getting ready for the awesome rain about to arrive this afternoon...always a time for deeper cleansing...

Classes have been better than ever...clients are coming back to a regular schedule and I've started back offering Reiki sessions...my reiki room is back with healing energy and warmth...all is well...
