Plan B

OK, I didn't post a picture of my henna tattoo, because you can't really see it.  I'm not sure what exactly we did wrong, but it mostly washed off with just a very faint image left.  So I was working on plan B - wasn't exactly sure what plan B was going to be, but I had a couple of ideas bouncing around and then the phone rings - it's the librarian from The Gathering Place - she found the woman who does the henna tattoos, she's still doing them and she gave me her phone number and email address - I have an appointment for Monday at 11 AM!  Here again, everything is falling into place.  God is obviously cool with my tattoo idea!  I think it's great beacause when women see me with it, it gives them another option.  We don't have to wear a wig and try to pretend we're the same as everyone else, we can embrace the hand we've been dealt and play it!  It's actually rather empowering when you shave your head and just throw all the worries and concerns of "what do I look like" to the wind.  It sort of takes us back to the essence of who we are, minus all the I have to do this and look like this stuff we've become so accustomed to.  This really is such an amazing learning experience - I would like you all to be able to experience it, but not to have to do it through cancer!  Let's find you a little bit easier way :-)!

Looks like a pretty nice day out, I thinki it's in the 20's and there's just the lightest of snow flying around, so I'm going to take a walk over to Dave's Market and maybe stop and grab a bite at the bagel shop on the way!  I really feel so fortunate and grateful - I can only hope that I find a way to give some of the blessings that I'm receiving to other people with cancer.  It's all in how you look at it, I really believe that.  Of course, I can't begin to say enough about the Theta Healing - I wouldn't have made it this far in the headspace that I'm in without the Theta Healing.  Once I move a little further into my treatment and things are a bit more settled, or at least on a pretty steady schedule, I want to take the training, I think it will not only be great for me, but I can help other people also.  I've always felt like God had some sort of purpose for me, I just wasn't sure what it was, somehow, this is it, I just have to listen quietly and watch for the signs to know exactly what he wants me to do, but I know in my heart that it's very strongly connected with this whole experience.  That's one of the things that makes this all worthwhile - if you can live your life to help other people and in some small way make the world a better or at least brighter place - then no matter what you go through or what happens, it's all good! 

Well, I think I'm going to head off to Dave's Market, if I go mid-day, it's the warmest :-)  Talk to you all soon, have a fabulous day!

  1. val - I am so glad that you are feeling so connected to the divine plan throughout this journey. I am not sure what theta healing is, but it sounds like you have found a calling in being a healing presence through the use of that technique. which is awesome!
    I have been thinking about you and wondering how you have been handling this life situation aka cancer, and it sounds like you are doing beautifully :) I hope dave's market proved a fruitful journey and you got some sunshine!
    big hugs,
