We had a great weekend with everyone for Karen‘s 60th birthday party.
We had a sauna and a swimming pool for people to jump in and take a cold plunge. The sauna is really healthy and something I’m going to try and do more often
Karen is amazing. I love her so much and I would not be here without her. We all had a great time. Happy birthday Karen
It has been a long year, but it has also been a beautiful and deeply educational experience, I’ve been diagnosed with this terrible disease with no real cure however, that doesn’t actually mean that I’m actually going to die either so basically in the last year I’ve spent searching high and low for way to get better and at the same time begun the slow process of actually getting better
Hope is one of the things I’ve learned but most importantly that I want to share is Love. Love for life. It holds everything together and without it I would not still be alive. I am so grateful for Karen and for her friends and from my friends and families, who have continuously come through to support me through these really really difficult times now at the end of another year,
We are now moved into a beautiful new house in the rainforest valley full of deer elk bears chickens, cats dogs they’re all here but at the same time there’s a beautiful silence in the forest at this time of the year. It’s true nature and this energy and this true nature of the energy of the forest is really what’s keeping me alive I think and that’s why I’m still going to get better so I wish it was with both hands in the air or clapping instead it’s with voice to text that I am going to call in this new year.

wishing you good fortune And holiday fun for you and your family
