Good News and Then Not So Good News :(

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your gold and good health have vanished.- Og Mandingo

Yesterday, I received a phone call from a dear friend of mine who said she got the "all clear" from her oncologist. Praise the Lord. She has been through a tough battle over the last few years and has stayed spunky as ever.

However, today I received news that another one of our friends isn't doing so well. He is suffering from lung cancer. I don't want to mention any names as they are very private people but I did want them to know that they are definitely in our thoughts and prayers!

And for anyone of you reading this who are dealing with a serious illness, whatever it may be, my hope for you is that you allow yourself the space to feel your real feelings, without censorship. I wish for you the love and support that will allow you to crack a smile or feel that deep belly-laugh when you are able. And wherever you are in your journey, I wish you gentleness (my theme of the week) in accepting whatever it is that you can or cannot manage and know you have folks out their praying for you!
