To update the curve on the journey………….feeling good but choices to fight the almost 15 year cancer companion have ended in the chemo world without guaranteeing lung collapse and 3 times are enough for that.
I am placing an order for God’s rod and staff and bright lights for the shadow trip. I invite you to walk it with me, my friends. We are already walking it as earth people. Join hands. I am walking with you on your journey. God is walking with us all and He holds the map.

- After a good year of my “blog avoidance” my persistently encouraging daughter finally won out! Here we go. “Once you choose hope anything’s possible” appeared in my email today. How timely.
Last year I wrote ½ of a book about my life called “Hand-full of Grace: Just Enough and Just in Time”. Yes. It still sits in a file. This year I realized that the discomfort in writing about me has transformed into writing about events of my life which have been miraculously covered by God’s grace and it is He whom I honor in recording it.
There is no better way to start than to start! It is my hope to offer encouragement to others in these Everyday Essays. I especially honor the years of friendships that have upheld me.
35 years as a clinical social worker and counselor, 9 years of widowhood after 29 years of a wonderful marriage, 36 years of motherhood, 7 years of grandmotherhood, 52 years as lover of my pets, 14 years as a breast cancer survivor currently in stage 4, 3 resurrections from death’s door experiences and about 56 years as a believer in Christ. I have walked both close and far from Him. I am convinced by far that close is best.

I've never met a stronger person. She is intelligent, kind and always has a smile to give. Even in what seems like the worst of times Sharon can still smile. I have seen her smile through a ventilator, a oxygen mask and when she could barely breath after taking only a few steps. It is unchanging. It is a peaceful 'I understand' smile.
I wish I could smile and I wish I could understand but I can't. Maybe Sharon will teach me...
