Feelings of vast, immense gratitude emerge as my husband and I walked the roads of the canyon this morning. Yesterday,our neighbors and friends put on a Hootenany. The Ladies of the Canyon organized and executed a Silent Auction on my behalf. The auction raised $1306. The funds will be donated to Hope Lives Fort Collins, [...]
The cool morning breeze embraced us as we walked the canyon's hills and valleys this morning. As I contemplated my upcoming chemotherapy, beginning August 5th, administered every 3 weeks and lasting for 6 cycles if I can tolerate it, followed by 6 weeks of daily radiation, I wonder what will I experience? What will the "malaise" [...]
This morning walking in the canyon I slipped into deeper dimensions of my being, to a place that ALL IS WELL regardless of apparent chaos. I am reminded that this energy, life energy, underlies EVERYTHING, even what we perceive as dysfunction. The reality is this is the only energy out of which everything else emerges. [...]

Ann Clarke, Founder of CWOI certainly knows how to put on a BIG event that honors others. SHE deserves honor for her risk taking in founding this group, her insight [...]

Enjoying Toronto this morning, breakfast on the sidewalk with Dorothy, who posted the picture on facebook, great shopping (bought RED shoes) before lunch with a colleague. Ah the textures and tastes of delight. I am so grateful for my many friends and colleagues. They are delicious!
Arrived Toronto last night and caught up with friends and colleagues, scientists we encounter here and around the world. The network is strong as we engage each other not simply exchanging advances in work but in probing deeper. A couple of them reminded me they were with my husband when I told him the news [...]
In the Chicago airport waiting for a flight to Toronto, I observe the comings and goings of so many people. As I watch people moving, some fast, some slow, I wonder where they are going, where they have come from and what they have experienced or will experience. I am reminded of these words: "All journeys [...]
