Please Stay Strong, Kaua'i

A few years ago. I had breast cancer surgery.

A week later, I was bundled up and put onto an airplane, arriving on Kaua'i hours later.

Larry drove me to a cottage where we had stayed in previous years.....

It is there were I recovered from surgery 

and prepared for cancer treatment.

My (I should say our, because Larry feels the same way) recovery on island meant so much and created a connection with Kaua'i that I can never truly explain.

Today my heart is breaking, seeing the videos of  storm Lowell's damage to the island.

Dear friends, who live on island, we are praying and keeping you in our hearts today.

Stay strong....

Love you beyond the moon.

Feeling Better

 On our anniversary, 

the most wonderful next door neighbors

 gave us a bottle of Champagne.

Yesterday, we popped the cork on it for

 Sunday, Dinner and a Movie.

The Champagne was wonderful and we recommend it

 if you are ever looking for a great bottle.

Menu yesterday was salad, burgers 

(mine was without a bun)

and Larry's dip.

Dessert was sugar free ice-cream.

Sunday dinner has changed

 since I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. 

I wear a Dexcom7-15 day glucose monitor 

and take one Ozempic pill daily.

Our Sunday dinners are very different, but we are adjusting very well.

Its interesting, I have not felt well for a very long time....and now I am feeling better.

I look at food in a very different way..

and it is a good thing.

Please have the best day.

Love you beyond the moon.

Flowers Again

 He bought me flowers again.

This simple gesture means so much.

I LOVE flowers.

***

Today is wonky. Crazy wonky.

Everything seems a bit "off"...

Perhaps it is because it is a holiday weekend?

***

It is still hot in Texas.

I do not walk outside in this heat...

My CGM gets loose.

Wherever you are, stay cool.

Love you beyond the moon.

Promises

 I was given this well loved

 book by Lisa, a dear friend.

She sent it to me while I was in treatment 

for Cancer #1 in 2012.

It has been part of my daily devotionals since then.

This book means so much to me....

There are 208 pages of comfort.

(yes, I did sketch on each entry)

Today after taking a break 

from my readings, this summer,

I have started morning devotional time again.

 Each morning, reading out of my books,

gives me the most wonderful foundation for my day.

I hope that you have a wonderful 

foundation for your day.

Love you beyond the moon.

The Jar Needs Tickets

Photo: The Jar

 This is my raffle jar.

Each ticket represents a donation to 

Komen Race For The Cure, and early detection.

I would like to thank everyone who

has already donated to Komen and Team Believe.

I support Komen because they support early detection,

and am here today because of early detection.

I battled breast cancer twice.

Once in 2012 and in 2019.

Different breast and different cancer each time.

Even treatment was different each time.

Each tumor was caught early, in screenings.

(and thanks to the Onco DX Test, I knew the personality of my tumors)

Would you like to help?

Each year during the Dallas Komen Race For The Cure, I raffle off an item that I have made specifically for this event. This year, I made a paperweight.

For each $25.00 donated to Team Believe, 

you receive a ticket that goes into the raffle jar.

(and I mail you the other ticket half)

The raffle ends on Friday October 9, 2026.

You have 36 days from today to help support early detection and have a chance to win the paperweight.

If you are interested, please go to the link below,

Team Believe/Komen
 

I appreciate each donation.

If you cannot support us monetarily, 

we would love your prayers and support.

Better yet, please have 

your annual screenings.

Thank you for taking the time to listen.

(Please help me fill the jar?)
