" if I fail to practice patience
hindered by my own deficiency

I am myself the obstacle to
gaining merit,

yet so close at hand."
Pema Chodron

thank you for the wonderful cards and well wishes for my birthday....I had a wonderful time at the celebration with Master Gu on Saturday...due to the chemo on friday and a white count shot on saturday...I didn't feel well enough to celebrate more...so we came home and I rested all weekend...another day to celebrate will present itself as I also continue to embrace that I am still alive...

I also just received news about my MRI from this past Friday...I am cancer free from the MRI as well as my ca-125...I could feel the healing has worked and is working...nice to know the test results agree...Many blessing to all of you...

I have much to think about each day and I love to write and I love to read spiritual work...I was thinking about these words and came up with a new way of thinking about CPR...CPR for the soul

C Calm

P Patience

R Release


Use this for moments when you are about ready to react to something...then perhaps you'll pause enough to respond with honor to any situation or emotion ...

Sending love and gratitude for all that you have done for me...I have now stepped into my 50th year of life because of so much love ...

Namaste,
Summer
