Namaste,
Summer

more boxes unpacked..seeing some progress...

I actually hiked this morning for 2 hours in the heat and it felt great!!!

Then came back home to continue unpacking...small steps...feels good...ready to let go of even more "STUFF" making room for more important stuff...hahaha

Actually took a brief break which felt great to pause...almost 2 weeks of steady packing...moving and now unpacking...WHEW!!!!

I will be having my first blood test CA-125 since my last chemo one month ago on tuesday afternoon...send healing love my way...

Time to rest.

Moving Moving Moving....and still moving....aah...

Dear Friends,

Last Tuesday I began packing to move 2 miles up the hill...each time I opened a cupboard...the contents just grew and grew...I had no idea how much I really had...HAVE !

We have moved an entire house...2 businesses....a garage the size of a large storage unit and a storage unit and we still have carpet cleaners and charity pick ups and dump pick ups this weekend...on August 31...we will officially be out of the previous location and on to embracing this wonderful new space! We have slept here at our new location since Saturday!

We are very happy and excited to create new energy and to celebrate each box we unpack and put away!!! Although, I have accomplished so much....there is so much more to do!!!! A bit overwhelming!!!

Today I have also celebrated one month since my last chemo treatment...next week I will have a blood test and next month a PET scan and in October ...surgery to remove the belly port!!!

I have a new beautiful work space and can't wait to share it with you !

I have continued to work around my treatment schedule and now that treatment has ended...I'm back full time to my private studio times and my part time yoga teaching times...soon to add more classes when time and schedule permits!

Please continue to visit me on the blog which will now focus on my healing and continued well being!!! I feel wonderful...a little tired from my move ....but all in all....very very happy and healthy!!!!!!

Much love to all,
Summer

All is well All is well All is well All is well All is well All is well All is well All is well All is well All is well.......................................................................
....................aah ...so much love to share....

Started back on my regular schedule

It feels great to be working again knowing that I won't be rotating work with chemo...I'm getting my energy back and feel great...stronger every day!!!

I look forward to connecting to all of you!

Much love,
Summer

last chemo complete

WOW...what a day...

as I embraced my last chemo of one of the most powerful treatments for Ovarian Cancer...my friend's life was celebrated...Beth Wilcox...she lived with Ovarian Cancer for 10 years...so many wonderful things to share about her and others who have passed...brave and courageous women who have been touched at the deepest level of pain and suffering and like the lotus flower who is nurtured by thick oozing mud ...a beauty so powerful emerges and life can begin...even in death...the ultimate transition!

Life hands us twists and turns and the map to our preconceived destination is kind of like map quest...it doesn't always take you on the most direct route...or doesn't it take you there at all...

I guess that's the beauty of life...the mystery keeps us on our toes and adaptable to any circumstance...it's how strong we can remain...how open can we be to the changes and the surprises?

Today the twists and turns have brought a unique motion sickness that has lingered for quite some time...and yet in between...the space in between...something beautiful emerges...so as I continue to truly live with uncertainty...as Pema Chodron continues to remind me that I can be "Comfortable with Uncertainty"...my transition into a healed body and mind can allow me to truly begin to live again...with renewed appreciation for each moment...for each moment...for each moment...without expectations or waiting or hoping for more than what is...with any discomfort...

I have friends who are living with cancer or other diseases and they are living life fully and powerfully...with new experiences...we have a chance to live better...live deeper...live with the wisdom that only comes from difficulties...we can armor ourselves with love or we can use that coat of armor to protect us from life and never really live...we just have to be...to wait for that sound inside that can free us...it's all useful.

Isn't that all any of us really are looking for?

May the sun shine brightly on you and may the darkness feel just as meaningful...
