MEDICATIONS

Hi. I've decided I am not going to take any more medications for the prevention of a recurrence. I'm tired of the roller coaster ride, and like the title of my next book, I want to be Happy for the Rest of My Life. The Femara -- after three tries -- crashed my mood by making my brain feel very brittle. I lost my reliance. I choose not to live with that today. I love waking up in the morning and actually feel like a real person. My wrists are getting better I think! Because I'm almost done with my website - please check it out - and my new blog Bright Horizons, and I'm slathering Rescue Remedy Cream on them every morning and night. Slather. Barb, if you're reading, it's a bit like slithering.


I'm also thinking about a juice fast to cleanse me out, and HOLD YOUR SEATS, giving up sugar entirely. Gulp. Is it possible? I met a man last night whose wife had a mastectomy, then when to a place in Florida where they promote raw foods. She gave up sugar 100%. I'll have to research the alternatives. For now, I'm not eating much and the fast will help me want it less. When I was told I had high cholesterol, which I don't by the way, I stopped eating pizza and ice cream, and now I don't like it at all. Feels like I'm eating the sole of a shoe.

I am also starting to create a trip across the country: researching what I will need, looking through what I already have, clearing out my house of a TON of stuff so I could possibly rent the whole thing out for a while. I'm going to buy the book Blue Highways: A Journey into America and get inspired.

Last night we had our first Amandla rehearsal of the season. So wonderful. I feel so blessed to be a part of that group. It is truly the best thing I've done since moving out here in 2003. Take a look-see at our site where you can hear a bit of our style. I'm in the second row with a big smile on my face.

I'm off to design windows and sweat. Hot day.

Love to all, and happiness. Bright Horizons is about prosperity today. Check it out!

i'm ok...i wasn't directly affected by the flood. but so many homes and businesses in brattleboro suffered major damage. i helped clean up for a few hours downtown, but was worried that all of the mold and dried mud with who-knows-what in it would trigger my allergies and asthma!
