I’m still hanging in there, sisters!
I want to thank all af you, so very much, for all of the kind words, thoughts & blessings you send to me. As I’ve walked this path, I realized that it is important for me (actually, for all of us this is most likely true)to feel my time here made a difference. That somehow, in someway, my life touched the life, heart, spirit of another with joy, with love. It’s the reason we’re here. Thank you so much for letting me know that, yeah, I did acccomplish that. I am so very grateful for having known each of you for you, too, have shared so much of yourselves with me & have enriched my life. My words fall short when it comes to trying to express what I feel in my heart.
In the meantime, I’m getting chemotherapy which has helped improve my stamina & mobility. I’ll continue with this as long as it continues to actually help.

Sending Blessings & Love Your Way! Monica

She has touched many in the women’s spirituality community with her humor, compassion, knowledge, and spirit, and by giving us deep permission to be human. She would like to hear from you.
