Good morning!

I had a wonderful weekend of celebrating--both the message of STABLE and HOPE from Dr. Kanard and the beautiful fall! Your happy messages to me were part of that celebration. Thank you!
Don't forget to take a look at the NPR blog (npr.org/mycancer). It has been so helpful to me to read Leroy Sievers' blog entries and the comments.

I will not die an unlived life.

I will not live in fear

of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit my days,

to allow my living to open me,

to make me less afraid,

more accessible,

to loosen my heart

until it becomes a wing,

a torch, a promise.

I choose to risk my significance,

to live so that which came to me as seed

goes to the next as blossom,

and that which came to me as blossom,

goes on as fruit.
