Hiatus


It has taken, a heartbreaking passing of another hodgkin's warrior, to take some pause and put some of my thoughts into perspective....

Eric, passed on August 9th. A kid who completely blew us away with his smile, and his legacy of living life to the fullest.



In addition to Eric's passing, and my oncologist team confirming, that my disease is small enough to receive a break from treatment. I decided to slow down even more, smell the roses, the sunflowers, the raspberries, the mangoes, and the classroomwalls of Lesley University, and my social justice internship... and put cancer, treatment, and hospital visits, on the back burner for a few months. And focus appreciate, every thing/one else in my life, instead.

Which in turn, gives me hope that you turn to those you adore-
things you love to do-
and appreciate the gratitude you have in your heart of your life.

I've decided to fully dance on the edges of new beginnings.
And for the next few months, that is what I plan to do.


So, farewell for now -- I am taking a small hiatus from my blog.
But will venture back here, to share all of my new beginnings (most likely a new treatment as well), come the early months of Winter.

Sending each of you laughter, strength, integrity, kindness, wisdom, empathy, excitement, compassion, tolerance, euphoria, perspective, warmth and patience.

And above all. Love.
