Just because God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit have started talking to me more clearly… does not mean I have forsaken all the things that have gotten me to this point.
I think there’s room enough in God‘s great world, and in all the many realms of existence, for there to be many effective and useful tools as we move along our soul Journey. 🙏🏻
“Ask and it is given.” - Matthew 7:7
God doesn’t always answer every single one of our prayers. But I think He hears the most important ones.
The prayers that come from a true place of desperation, and a true place of need.
I don’t have this whole God and Jesus thing figured out yet.
But I can feel the Holy Spirit working and moving through my life in unavoidably obvious ways. 🙏🏻✝️🕊️🌈
Sharing the stories of our lives, turns a platform that is built to separate and isolate us,
into one that connects us instead.
Every person has a different journey,
but the themes of death and rebirth,
of loss and liberation,
of falling away and rebuilding,
move like a wave pattern through all of our lives.
This isn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last.
But hopefully this is the only time in my life that it happens on quite so many levels. 🌀
Yesterday in my stories I got really vulnerable about the transition out of my last relationship…
It prompted a lot of good conversations in my inbox about losing oneself in relationship, healthy boundaries, expectations we have, and what actually suffices and sustains when you’re talking about spending the rest of your life with your partner.
This process of cancer and chemotherapy have showed me where the weak links are in my internal system, and in my external support system.
More than one person I thought would stay, has gone.
…and more people than I ever expected, have shown up in their place. 💔🥲❤️🩹
Alison Armgstrong has a quote about “If you really needed a hard job done, would you rather have five women or one man?”
I used to think my answer was one man.
Now, I am learning that one man may be able to do the physical work of five women, but one man cannot replace an entire community of nearly 300 people who have your back (and who are willing to put their money where their mouth is) while I navigated the most challenging passage of my life.
Thank you again to all the people who donated to GoFundMe back in May.
There were moments recently where I authenticly no longer wished to continue, and I remembered that 275 of you - wanted me to stay. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌈

She gets it from her MAMA! 💞💖
The beauty, the strength, the genetic predisposition.. lol.
Jewel w**d grows right next to poison ivy.
The remedy grows right next to the pathogen.
Sometimes the thing you most need to get through the hard thing, comes from the same place as the hard thing.
Our ancestors hand us heavy karma, but they also help us from the other side.
I’m SO INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL for my Mom.
Her immediate and unwavering love and support (along with you, my community) have held me, as literally every single other pillar of my life has fallen this year.
A relationship with God has replaced what has been removed.
As my strength (and so many of the things/people I was attached to) were stripped away, I simply no longer had the strength to carry the heaviness of the dead branches that were weighing down my life, my mind, and my heart.
God had to prune some of them, and my heart absolutely broke to let them go.
And others I took the initiative to clear away.
Some of them may grow back, but it’s more likely that new branches will grow in other parts of the tree of my life.
Still 5 more weeks of chemo to go. (Then surgery).
So the pruning may not be entirely complete.
Learning surrender.
Learning to Trust God.

Didn’t take a video….Some things are just between you, your barber, and God. 🌈
Difficultly doesn’t build character, it reveals it.
LIFE UPDATE - Breast Cancer 💕 1mo into CHEMOTHERAPY …
So many things to get used to.
New symptoms every week. Isolation.Extreme fatigue.
Thankfully my digestion is still working, & my sleep is sound and deep.
Sleep and food are so essential! 🙏🏻
I’m learning how *extremely sensitive* to my environment I’ve become, and finding ways to provide the barriers and filters that my body cannot.
Chemo attacks fast growing cells.
Epithelial cells (aka skin and digestive lining), which is THE barrier of outer/inner.
But being who I am, I feel that on an energetic level first.
It’s caused me to have to isolate, from the sun, the ‘normal’ sounds of the world, busy places, traffic … all of it feels like a massive invasion. I’m glad to know this is temporary side effect, and I have so much more compassion for people with autism. Good lord.
🙏🏻🌻
I’m about a third of the way through.
Two more months of chemo to go, then surgery in October.
As per my oncologist’s assessment yesterday, the chemo is working, and the tumors are palpably shrinking. 🙏🏻🤍
The goal is for it to work as well as it can so I can get away with a lumpectomy, instead of a mastectomy. And thus, avoid a second rebuild surgery entirely.
🙏🏻🌻
I’m doing everything I can to support my body through this.
I can’t reach for my normal oral supplemental supports, (as many of them interfere with the purposeful toxicity of chemo).
So I’m finding other ways: Quantum Bio Resonance frequency tinctures by Daniella | Frequency Medicine & Natural Biohacking, acupuncture by Patricia Ocean Acupuncture & Massage, Reiki by alignedbysam, mitochondrial support by ASEA Official , grounded bedsheets, sleeping on my Richway & Fuji Bio Inc BioMat, and now, noise canceling headphones by Bose.
⬇️ GRATITUDES CONT. IN COMMENTS ⬇️
💕 6min BREAST CANCER UPDATE 💕 - Chemotherapy begins this week.
The next round of treatment decisions have been made. Please don’t ask why I didn’t do ivermectin.
Every cancer is different.
Every patient is different.
Unless you are in the seat of these decisions yourself, you don’t know what your process and your needs actually are.
🙏🏻 A MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone who has been praying, donating, sharing, and supporting.
There have already been days I haven’t wanted to continue.
But knowing that there are literally hundreds of people who are willing to invest their time, effort, loyalty and care- lets me know that I am wanted, I am valued, and I am loved. 💕🫶🏼🙏🏻
Prayers accepted, funny memes accepted- and chemo tips very welcome!

🌷MY MOTHER 🌷
Apparently, this has been a week of not being able to find the right words to express the intensity of gratitude and love and support that I feel
And thats largely because of Her.
Arleen Hammerschmidt you are indescribable.
Her strength and persistence.
Her LOVE and just deep, deep loyalty.
Her continued efforts at communication, connection, and community collaboration…
Years after many have just “let life be”, she strives with the conviction of a warrior for the things she believes in.
If she believes in you, you’ll know.
And you’ll feel it in your bones.
Her love doesn’t come without work, or standards, but that’s actually for you too.
A Master Teacher, and pillar.
Bless this Mama.
🌷🙏🏻🌷
