An Invitation...January 2021

A few weeks ago, I wrote about invitations, wondering what we would each be invited to this new year.

I didn't know then that I would very shortly receive an invitation, to experience healing and love from others. This invitation has come in the form of a malignant leg tumor. I now begin a treatment plan with optimism for a full recovery.

Already, I have experienced the power of love from others. Peter is an angel, pure and simple. I am humbled by his strength of hope and devotion, as he has been with me for each medical appointment. He has not just sat in waiting rooms, either, but found his way into exam rooms.

I have wondered alot about fear, realizing that when we choose fear, we are separating ourselves from divine guidance. It is far easier to stay in my heart than my head, as it is always glorious in the heart.

Over Christmas, Evan and I were playing with an aging app. I didn't want to see myself in 20 years. Yesterday, I eagerly aged my photo below. Each day is a gift, as our bodies melt and sag...and I will rejoice in 20 years to look in the mirror.

May all our invitations be holy and embraced, this year and always.
