Off to Longmont this morning to see the Physical Therapist certified in Lymphedema! Thank goodness for such people with this expertise! I am reminded of Joseph Campbell's "The Hero's Journey" - I am not claiming to be a hero, I have not had chemotherapy yet, but the concept of a "calling," taking the risk of [...]
How glorious it is to share with others who resonate with a similar energy - this was my delight this morning - to be with coaches in the Success Unlimited Network® Coaching Program. We danced in the energy of expansiveness, transforming old neural patterns and embracing the greatness of who we are, possibly beyond our [...]
Steamboat Springs, Colorado about 160 miles away was our playground yesterday - so no blog. Driving there was magnificent, the rock formations, the broad vistas and the wildlife. On the way home we saw a Moose! Thank You Dixie and Ed for the walk yesterday and all your thoughtful gifts. Louise thanks for a great walk today. Each [...]

I am thankful for the sunshine that warmed my arms and back as Annette and I walked up the hills and down the valleys. A reminder that life is dynamic sometimes sunny and bright other times grey and dull. I love flying for regardless of what I see on the ground when I ascend into the [...]
The rain prevented me from walking in the canyon today, but I was able to walk on a treadmill looking out onto the canyon. I miss but do not demand the presence of sunshine. I recall the words of William Blake "He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he [...]
The joy of walking in the Colorado mountains with refreshing air and warming sunshine is just incredible. Thanks, Tiffany, for a great walk this morning. Each week I send out a short audio recording "A Jolt of Joan!" This morning I was reminded of the words of Oscar Wilde "Two men look out a window. [...]
Beautiful blue skies and sunshine awaited us as we walked today. Judith, thanks for a lovely walk. During the walk my incisions felt itchy. Yet, I was delighted to accept this discomfort as I know it signals healing. Yesterday, it was grey and overcast, but I was glad to walk nonetheless. Earlier in the day I [...]
Happy 4th to my friends in the US and Happy Canada holiday. I am taking a day of rest today. Hope you are, enjoying your holiday.
Walking today with NO tubes with bags for drainage or to deliver medication, except for an embedded chemo port, I felt SO FREE! I am SO grateful for the way this journey is unfolding. Excuse me men for a little ladies talk - skip this part if you wish. Today I even have on a bra. [...]
