		<description>Hello Pat, I was just trying to contact you about possibly sending someone to take photos of our Wedding Show or maybe include this FREE event in your calandar section. I stumbled on this post and thought you mand June may want to attend. The Show is here at Cedar Grove Gardens on Friday Feb 3rd 5:30-7:30 Saturday Feb 4th from 1p.m.-4p.m. and Sunday Feb. 5th from 11:a.m.-2p.m.  What you can expect to see here will be beautiful. We design several Bridal Bouquets from different seasons and we do the same with numerous centerpieces, altar pieces etc.  We will also have a chuppah and an archway. Just about anything floral related for the big day! I sure hope that you can attend. If you have any questions at all please feel free to call the shop 617-825-8582</description>

Look for a gift from me in the mail next week, and know that I think of you daily and that you are surrounded with golden white healing light and energy.

Your work is not done here yet, nor your celebration, joy, and play either.

		<description>It is a big relief to read you are home recovering and that your pain is manageable. Don't wait too long between pain medication doses; you don't want the pain to get ahead of you. The lower the pain level, the quicker the recovery. You will need less in the long run. Overcoming that state of denial that envelopes people in the face of bad news saved your life. It’s human nature to deny anything is wrong. We hear every day about someone ignoring signs, unable to cope; they put it all aside and do something about it only when it is too late. It’s tragic and wrong with such high cure rates now. When you are up to it, would you consider exploring the topic of overcoming denial and what you think spurred you on to seek a diagnosis knowing you could receive bad news? 

 I would bet your son meant organic broccoli and not the green stuff with chemicals in it and on it. Do you have one of those machines that liquifies veggies and fruit to get the full benefit from the raw state? 

I am so happy to see you writing!  Get well very soon! 

Call me for errands

your friend, 
Janet Irwin</description>

		<description>I thought of you when I read this quote today in a BeliefNet email:

"Trust has nothing to do with moral courage. 
It occurs when we have nowhere else to turn, 
when we reach the end of our need to control. "

You know this well, True Wisdom. Trust in the benevolence of the Universe and feel cared for and peaceful.  Of course, do all you feel drawn to do - broccoli sprouts sound wonderful. (Trust in the Lord, but row like hell!) 
Meanwhile, healing light and energy surrounds you, and you are well and safe.

Deeply bowing,
Stephanie/ Loving Light of the Heart</description>

		<description>I've been checking the blog daily since your surgery, and am so glad to see you wrote today and to read that your recovery is going well and you are cancer-free.  I've been thinking about you often and especially in my healing qigong meditation time each morning. I've been wrapping you in healing nourishing light with to help minimize your pain and speed your healing - and of course to now be cancer-free. 
Thank you for all the details about your journey through the diagnosis and decision-making process.  If I should face similar news one day (which I very well may, given my family history with breast cancer), I know I will recall your strength and courage, and it will be a source of strength and courage for me.
Much love to you, and a deep bow,
Stephanie Martin</description>
