Energy's back. Busy. Busy. Busy.

Hi again, it's been a while. I'm so happy to say that my energy is back and I've been busy, busy, busy.  I finished the dollhouse for the tea raffle. That is on May 8th.  My hope is that it will bring in a couple thousand dollars to benefit the programs offered at the center where I got my radiation treatments.  They have family nights, craft programs for kids, field trips, and lots of other things for the patients and their families to do.  I like the idea of helping out on a smaller level, rather than having the money disappear into some scientific, miscellaneous place....although I think those things are just as important.  Anyway, I'll let you know how it turns out.

So, I am waiting for Ellen to call me. I sent her a package with BE KINDER wrist bands, BE KINDER magnets, and "LAUGH. DANCE. BE KINDER." T-shirts I made for her and Portia. I wrote a letter asking her to mention "BE KINDER" on her show and wrote about how awesome it would be if just half of the people she reaches every day would be a little kinder what an awesome thing that would be! I also told her if she told me her shoe size I'd make her a pair of lucky shoes. Lol. I told her if she told me how many audience members she has then I would send BE KINDER wrist bands for them all. I can't wait to see what happens next!

My sister is coming to visit for a week, next Monday, and I'm really looking forward to being able to spend some relaxing time with her. The last time she was here I was so preoccupied with my breast cancer and all that entailed, I really was present at all. We have a way of grounding each other and it seems we spark each other's creative energy. Who knows what new missions will come out of this visit. I'll keep you all posted.

My folks are back in Alaska....and that's about all I have to say about that.  Lol.  I miss them so much when they're not here. Seriously though, they love it there and I am so thankful for the time they spend in Arizona.

My son and I planted a salsa garden in the back yard.  What fun that was.  I'm forever thankful that even though he's 27 he still enjoys spending time with Mom every once in a while. We planted different kinds of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, peppers, and I had to add some strawberries to cleanse the palate. Lol. We'll see how it grows.

Well, that's about it. Just wanted to touch base with those of you who have been wondering what I've been up to. I'll try to be a little more diligent about keeping in touch.

Until next time, please keep the positive energy flowing.  It really does make a difference...for all of us.
