Some projects in out wood shop out back that me and my dad worked on. We have made wood chests, bowls and cutting boards from scratch. Very therapeutic and nice to get your mind away from the stressful hospital visits and chemotherapy.

I painted this this year and it is part of a theme called "Fearless Belonging." I did this in acrylic on canvas, 24 x 36 inches as part of my Red Thread Guide training and using the practice of Intentional Creativity.

I painted it about one year after my last chemo, and, just when I was about to paint her hair, I stopped and sat down, realizing that this more truly represented my experience. Since then, I keep her on my bedroom wall and remember how grateful I am to be feeling like myself and even have hair again. 

Fearlessly not knowing. I/we matter.

It is about not feeling less than others because I had cancer, and what was so powerful to me is how vulnerable and naive I was. And how courageous going through cancer treatment is on so many levels.

Fearless Belonging

I joined a fiber tribe group at Gilda’s Club during my cancer journey for breast cancer and still participate weekly. This is a crocheted blanket I made for my granddaughter. Zooming with cancer survivors as we create fiber pieces for our loved ones has brought me an immeasurable amount of joy and healing.
