The BEST News of Our Lives!

Today we are truly blessed to have outstanding news.

Adrian had all clear scans (negative PET CT scan, chest CT, head MRI) meaning that he is ALL DONE with treatment!

While he still has to have another surgery to have his port removed in addition to frequent scans to monitor, he now begins to focus completely on recovery. He will keep his NG tube for medicines and feeds while he learns to eat enough calories on his own again. His hair is starting to come back with little signs of growth of his eyelashes, eyebrows, and even his scalp.

Reading the news through a little screen on an iPhone felt surreal. You might have thought it was a huge and immediate release of the metaphorical weight off the shoulders, but my experience and Alicia’s has been a slow and gradual release. Little snippets of his journey flashed before our eyes slowly, then all at once in an instant, as the journey from surgery to radiation to chemo and hospital admissions replayed in timeless fashion. And it feels like we can take a full breath of air now. A complete exhale. It’s as if we were in a holding pattern before, stuck with no flow.

And now, we can let go of that stale air. Along with letting go of that last bit of breath, we also let go of that pain, the chronic stress, the fear, and anxiety. We surrender that breath and the worries are allowed to melt away.

We all face pain and struggle in this Earth school that we attend together. One of the main ways I found gratitude in this journey was by learning to put down my ego and take 100% responsibility for my life. This led me back to the path to joy. In life, there is always a choice. We can blame others and external factors as if we are victims in our own lives, but it leaves us feeling powerless and burned out. We always have a choice in life. We can choose to take ownership, and we can choose for live in a beautiful state.

We can always select the best version of ourselves to face any challenge. This allows us to navigate the world with Grace. The more love we bring to the table, the more we are able to heal ourselves and those around us. I am incredibly grateful and humbled by the love that has surrounded Adrian and our family. This love is like a light that shines true through any dark time and bathes us with peace and comfort. It is like coming home.

And we are safe again at any time, in any place. Adrian beams love from his eyes, and it teaches me to let go of whatever it is that I cling to in my ego. It reminds me who I am, and where I came from. Even though at times I may feel stressed or worried or anxious, my soul knows that it’s okay, and that I am safe, and I am whole, and I am home.

Much love to you. A’ho. Namaste. Peace be with you.
