Merry Christmas everyone. A quick hello to say that I’m done with all the things: transplant, almost dying from sepsis twice and cancer. This year has proven that I can indeed get through hard things. I’m grateful to be home in Alaska with family after 3 years of being away (but with other family), and enduring all that 2021 threw at me. I’m cautiously optimistic about 2022 and ready to see what other hard things I can do (but hopefully I get more say in what those challenges will be). If you also survived this year then you can do hard things too. Well done. Love you all,
Sorry for the long silence but if there is anything I’ve learned about chemo it’s that it makes you tired, a bit drained and the fog settles in on your brain making everything insignificant, from dishes to updates. It’s kind of pleasant in it’s own way. I don’t worry as much about productivity, and I’m able to let things wait until the clouds lift and energy comes back.
This writing workshop, Conversations With Your Muse, will be a 4 hour intensive with lots of writing. Our goal is to help you get unstuck and/or be inspired about where to start in your writing. Whether you are aspiring or seasoned in writing you will get something good out of this. #writingworkshopsonline #writingworkshops #developmentaleditor #writer #writethebook #inspiration #authorsofinstagram #workshop
My sister Mollie ( @athroughl ) have been quietly working on starting our own development editing collaboration. In order to begin getting the word out there we are offering our first writing workshop! Scroll through for dates. You can also find info on our site by following the link in our bios. | This workshop is for writers and people who don’t consider themselves writers but WANT to write. I hope you are inspired to join us, or hire us to edit your manuscripts! (We offer a variety of services to fit different needs and budgets.) Happy Writing! #writingworkshopsonline #writingworkshops #developmentaleditor #nanowrimo #muse #writing #writingprompts #writingcommunity #getwriting #authorsofinstagram
I survived but my hair did not. Chemo hasn’t hit me too hard with side effects thankfully but the hair loss was immediate. Still self conscious but also fine with it for me. Showers and getting out the door is much easier! We all have such different (yet learned) responses to the rigors of cancer, but like any other serious diagnosis, it either reminds you of what’s important and/or you meet yourself for the first time. Those are good things that health doesn’t always afford. Self awareness and ego are difficult to contend with, but that’s the work. It’s always hard, it’s always a lot and at the same time it doesn’t have to be heavy. That is my encouragement. ❤️ #cancer #PTLD #cysticfibrosis #doublelungtransplant #beherenow
After two unscheduled infections I’m finally able to get back on my chemo regimen and getting my second dose today. And then… hopefully home, but I’m always hesitant as I’ve been thwarted at the last minute too many times before. #doublelungtransplant #PTLD #cysticfibrosis #dontgetsick
