A lot has been going on in my life - all the things relating to cancer and healing holistically… and multiple things outside of the cancer. To be honest I got a bit distracted for the past months with the multiple things going on outside of the cancer (new grandbaby arriving and another on the way, a wonderful family reunion, a family baptism, gardening, my husband hosting an event for veterans and first responders at our home, etc.) and was basically going through the motions with my protocol. God is good though, because my body is responding positively to what I have been doing, which shows me that I “am not ALL THAT” with all the protocol things I think I need to be perfect at! The Lord’s grace is sufficient, and yet, I don’t want to take anything for granted and slip with things like my time with Him and my focus on Him. I want to narrow some things down and drill in on what works and other important things that have slipped off my plate that I know the Lord wants me to focus on. It’s recalibration time FOR SURE!
With that said, I have felt a shift this past month or so in my mindset and in things around me. With this shift, remembering the many shifts that life brought with raising children up through them moving on into their lives, the word recalibrate has come to mind over and over. Recalibrating has turned out to be something I learned to enjoy, taking things I have been doing and fine-tuning them, adjusting, and correcting things that might need it. It’s like a fresh start with renewed goals, and THAT energizes me.
These past few months I have felt like my schedule has run me, so I want to correct that and protect my time better and block out my mornings for self care. I received my toxin report about two months ago, but I haven’t sat down and gotten my thoughts in writing about it, and I want to do that soon as there is a lot going on with that that I believe will make a difference in the next few months. Detoxing is my focal point right now and some ideas are forming there as I experiment with some, new to me, ways of detoxing. I am setting new goals for detoxing and healing and I feel energized about that. I am also feeling an increasing desire to get back to writing more, starting with writing more about my journey here on this blog. I say this… almost on the eve of a potentially HUGE disruption in our home, family celebration and multiple trips. So, here we gooooo….
In the meantime, even with those things coming around the corner, I am clearing up my time as much as possible and hoping to do less running around and having more time to focus on self care. One thing I recently decided is to let go of my flock of chickens. There has been a bit going on with them this year that I don’t feel like I have the energy and focus to deal with and I feel like I need to lighten my load. It wasn’t an easy decision because they are a joy to me. It’s not a forever thing and we are planning for it to be a temporary break. In the meantime, I also have dreams of fixing up the coop I have and building a more functional larger coop and chicken run down by my garden with a nursery for mamas and babies. Dan and I are brainstorming what that might look like and hopefully we can do that in a year or two.
So this lands me with where I am at today. I am ever so grateful for the Lord and what He is doing in my life and with the support I continue to receive from you all. I am grateful for the friends I have met because of the cancer and the things I have learned as a result. Today, I was moved to tears by one of those friend’s writing. She has such a way with words and she really gets to the heart, she is a real inspiration to me. Today, I want to share with you what she wrote this week titled, "Hard to Kill." and I pray you are also blessed.
