It has been several weeks since I posted an update, and I felt a prompting to sit down and write and share what’s stirring in my heart today in the hope that it may encourage you, too! Thank you for your faithful prayers.

I continue to gain strength each day as my body recovers from the treatment I underwent this past year. I am scheduled for a follow-up PET scan on April 16 as a baseline scan after completing all treatments. I will meet with my oncologist on April 30 to receive the scan results. After almost two years, I had the blessing of visiting my family in Upstate NY this past week. It was a gift to have time together, and I treasured every minute. The temperature was significantly colder than Southern California, but I bundled up and continued to enjoy daily walks on the paths around the farm.

As I walk, I find my eyes looking up. I am in awe of the sky, the colors of the clouds, the sun shining through them, and the sunrises and sunsets. It takes my breath away. It is like getting an infusion of HOPE each day as I LOOK UP and get lost in the majesty and wonder of it all.
