Reflections 5/26/2020: Yesterday I’m not sure what touched me more, the home massage, or the fact that a dozen of my neighbors pitched together to give it to me as a gift! What thoughtful love!! My village is the bomb! Bettima had magic in her hands! Every part of my body felt cherished and deeply nurtured! (A far cry from the alienation I have felt toward it as the chemo has made it feel like the enemy!) Toxins fled as dying cells made way for new, healthy ones! I was even able to go for a long walk with Ed later that day without the nausea laying me up! HALLELUJAH!!! Thank you my creative, thoughtful friends!! Even without the massage, just knowing that you all are pulling for me is  healing and galvanizing to my spirit! Add the massage and I am purring with delight! God, thank You for showing up in such human-clad ways!
