Where I is at..

Hello Friends.....


Your response has been overwhelming to say the least! I am hugely grateful to have so many amazing people in my life. Thank you all so much for your generosity and responding hastily with your ideas, love, donations and time. You are all making this tough time in my life much more manageable.


I am keeping positive and feeling good about my prospective treatments. I am aiming to begin February 20th and should be in treatment until March 20th, just a bit of spring cleaning, right?


Until then, I will continue my health regime. Unsightly,  yet oh so tasty, green concoctions (pictured above), nutrient rich foody goodness,  Acupuncture, Reiki, swimming, laughing, crying (it's ok, cleanses the eyeballs.... and the cat), dancing (fairly awkwardly, with the curtains closed!), spending time with wonderful people, and living each day like I mean it!


There are many fundraising events in the works, here in Vancouver and internationally. Here are some of the amazing events being planned so far..mark your calendars!:

• Jan. 20th-Coquitlam, BC. Wonderful Mrs. Caroline is hosting jewelery party by Stella and Dot! http://new.evite.com/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=fb_share_widget&utm_content=fb_link&utm_campaign=invite#view_invite:eid=0005AAQZXGL24EW3EEPADOUVP5SSUQ&gid=fb
